For the last several days I have been out of bed, showered and off in the car to work in record time.

This could have been the result of some good forward planning and preparation on my part the night before, or some process improvement on my morning routine... but it's not.

The reason for my speedy departures each morning is that there is a spider the size of a dinner plate* in the bathroom and I'm scared of it. I still do the same routine, but the "waking up in an invigorating shower" part has been greatly reduced to a 2 mins-half my body at a time-eyes on the ceiling-and run! type thing.

I'm tempted to leave it there as it's been quite refreshing being early for work, but I'm afraid the time has come... It's had long enough to move out of it's own accord and I've resisted taking any hostile action against it so far, but a period of arachnid cleansing is about to start.

I don't like harming any of gods creatures so I'll be giving it a fighting chance... only, in this case it will be fighting a Dyson Root 8 , good luck with that.

* well, egg cup at least.
