Blargh.

So yes, as this comic puts it, the exterminator never showed up. They canceled on us. 

The bedbug situation is currently this : Link and I cleaned everything we owned, thoroughly, and packed it all away in plastic bags to prevent bedbugs from going in the cleaned stuff. We also vacuumed, bleached, scrubbed and generally exuded cleaning revenge upon the little critters. Basically we did all (and then some) of the things listed on the document given to us that needed to be done BEFORE the exterminator showed up and sprayed the floor with deadly poison. And he NEVER DID.

He re-scheduled on Tuesday. So now everything we own has to stay in boxes and bags until then, because if bedbugs get int here, we pretty much have to start over. 

This situation is honestly ANNOYING. Those who know me well know I much I love being in boxes/suitcases/etc. It realyl plays on my nerves. So i,m having a bit of trouble concentrating. 

I did draw a bit, mostly sketches I won't finish because there's always a little detail that bugs me. This time : MEGAMIND!

Aw, yeah. I bet he has an anti-bedbug gun. That he invented as a child. Because he feared the nursery rhyme.

there's always a little detail that bugs me

Was that intentional?

BTW, I don't know if this applies, but in this country at least the exterminator usually wants to see proof of the beasties- so if you have one in a jar or something that might be useful. Might not apply in Canada, but over here they won't spray unless they can see them or evidence of them (they leave blood trails and brown strains..ick.)

Ahah. No. It wasn't intentional, but it certainly is ironic. The bugs must have settled in my brain. :D

They didn't ask for proof, but I took a photos with an ipod touch, just in case. I have yet to find blood trails and brown stains. Honestly, the only thing I was able to find was the beastie itself, fat, red and happy on the underside of the mattress. Maybe there was just 5 or so...

Why. WHY.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I think they are trying to see how long it will take for me to crack and go berserker.

Woot to Megamind goodness! =D I needed some cheering, and from the sounds of it, you do as well. That sucks about the exterminator :/ Very NOT cool!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* I saw your post. I'm so, so sorry :(

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I was letting myself get in a bad place over that, but I will survive. I'm not the only one who's had to do it, and I think I'm getting over the self pity party ;) Now I'm forming an action plan to get us through the time and maybe even get a little bit of saving set aside for when the time comes, so we won't be in such a bad place when I go out of work in a few months

ugghhhh what a bummer D:
good luck! <3

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[brendala.livejournal.com]

Aarg! It sucks that the exterminator didn't show. Hopefully, the stuff you cleaned won't get re-infested before he gets his lazy butt over to your apartment.


Also; YAY Megamind art! I can actually appreciate it now!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

We left a lot of the clean stuff in Olivier (Link's brother's) apartment, so hopefully that won't happen!

Yay! I,m glad you liked the movie!

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

Sheesh, if they wait much longer, you might as well take a match to the place and start over elsewhere. ...okay, so maybe don't go that extreme. Still! I'd be fuming now as well. That's not only unprofessional, it allows the situation to possibly get worse!

I guess on the plus side bed bugs don't like living in paper? XP The drawing may be one of the few things to keep you sane during the wait!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I don't have to? REALLY? But... fire!

Oh got if I had bugs in my papers I seriously think I would have died.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

Dude, I HATE it when stuff like that happens!! All I can say is hang in there, kiddo and try not to go insane in the meantime...

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'll try. *puts away tin foil hat*

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

lol, keep it handy just in case.

[putri-nih.livejournal.com]

NO D:

Ohmysgosh so sorry if I kept going on and on last night talking!! Hopefully these guys show up and you'll be rid of your pest problem soon.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Duuude. Don't worry. I told you before, i'm not much of a talker anyways. I'm the type of person that avoids bitching about a broken arm :D

[amelia-seyroon.livejournal.com]

:/

You're so cute, though. xD;

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Hee. Thanks!

[pip25.livejournal.com]

Well, this must have been beyond annoying. :/ Hopefully the exterminators' stupidity will not undermine the anti-bedbug operation.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I hope not. Because if we have to clean everything again, i,m not gonna lie, I might kill something.

[pinkwa.livejournal.com]

Megamind and Roxane are so cute :3

BUGS AND EXTERMINATORS ARE BOTH EVIL. Yeah, that's true.

[jason-register.livejournal.com]

I laughed long and well for your sketches, and Mega-mind rocks!
