I am totally brave!

Happy Monday morning, everyone!!

The week has barely begun and already my radness is coming to the fore. Just then, one of the ad reps came in here (the room where we rocking journos work) asking whether anyone was afraid of spiders. There was a big huntsman spider in the kitchen and she was too scared to kill it. Now I don't like spiders, but I'm not frightened of them so I grabbed my trusty stiletto and ventured forth into the kitchen. There was the eight-legged beast up on the wall but a couple of whacks from my (very elegant, black patent leather) shoe slowed it down. It fell to the ground, my colleague squealed, frightening me, so I yelled too while the maimed spider writhed on the floor. A few more strikes from my weapon, the shoe, and Spidey was well and truly deceased. I gingerly picked him up in a wad of paper napkins and dropped him to rest in the rubbish bin.

I am brave like warrior!

PS. I apologise to any animal lovers out there who may have been offended by the graphic detail in which I recounted this story.

Woo hoo! Go, you bold and fearless arachnid killer!

I don't like spiders. Icky things...give me the creeps, they do.

I rather like Huntsman spiders, harmless little critters, I tend to do the glass and piece of paper thing with them. It's the whitetails and redback I worry about.
I won't hold killing the spider against you though......you evil murderer of small furry spiders

I don't want to enforce my beliefs on anyone, but was there any reason you couldn't get a cup and a piece of paper and put it outside? I am one helluvan arachnophobe, but I still manage this.

at the risk of sounding facetious... the spider was too high up the wall and my fellow worker was nearly wetting herself. i figured i should put them both out of their misery, but my shoe only managed to connect with the spider (the other lady in the office was too quick, and even the biggest tupperware container i have seen wouldn't have contained her)
