Infestation Update

Forget hearing them out back on the loading dock; I can hear the cicadas over my iPod and the buzz of my computer. I'd go to headphones, but that isn't generally accepted as "good work practice;" although, it still might be worth it. I think the sudden onset of summer weather (90+ degrees) after an unseasonably cool (and very nice) end of May is to blame. The warmer temperatures have jolted the awaiting hordes to emerge from the ground and fulfill their destiny of being crushed by children, eaten by dogs, and smashed into car windshields, all in the hope that in 17 years, they're offspring will return and follow in their glorious footsteps. Fuck cicadas.
