You gotta show cleavage when you are talking to the techies. They'll do anything for you then.

I almost fell for the "put a couple of industrial magnets on the side of your computer" techy help here.

Believe nothing.

Good God NTA, that's grounds for long term mental health leave. I wouldn't have been able to work there.

Even your boss may watch the horrible fight.

It's hard for me to be sympathetic. When I used to work at a government facility, we were infested with cockroaches. They laid eggs in my desk clock, in the back of the refrigerator, inside of our water cooler, inside someone else's answering machine. You'd lift up one of your papers and one would scurry across the desk. They finally had to do a roach bomb.

There aren't as many ants as there were an hour ago, but I notice some ants are turning away from the opening on the ant trap. Do you think they can smell the death and destruction within?

I used to hate when my friends would get ants in their apartments and would spray that nasty "floral scent" Raid. Gag-a-riffic.

I just squeeze some onto the floor, so if you're messing with me, you can start laughing now.

Hopefully toothpaste doesn't turn them into giant human-eating mutant ants. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, you'll know why.

I swear toothpaste works. I think it's the artificial sweetener. They are attracted to it and they eat it and it kills them immediately.

Take that all you diet soda drinking morons.

Yeah, it took me a week to get the ant traps from facilities management. I'm not counting on the Raid coming any time soon.

They invented this new stuff too...you spray it and it kills bugs. Supposedly works pretty well. Can't remember what it's called, though.

You could have pulled it off if you suggested something more realistic, PeePee. Like toothpaste.

The head ant just declared mission accomplished, so you're good.

Leaving raw tuna around the baseboards kills ants as well.

I'd be more worried about the lizards eating my toes. Frying pan into fire kinda deal.

I do have toothpaste in my purse. I might just try that. At worst, my office will smell minty fresh.

Lizards will eat ants.

You should buy some lizards and let them have at it.

There IS someone in the office that I would like to annoy...hmmmm

Maybe this is ghetto, but here we just leave a plate of raw meat out in the middle of the cube dwellers to keep them away from the offices.

Works on the ants too.

I'm starting to wonder. It's my first summer in the job. One of my walls is all window, and I'm on the ground floor.

I think I need some sealant or something.

By ants. It's creeping me out. At least the ant traps seem to be working.
