Teminix waited until 4:36 this afternoon, after they told me that someone would DEFINITELY be out today, that they won't in fact, be out today.

"Hello?"

"This is Teenager from Terminix. You called us?"

"Absolutely."

"Well, we don't do maggots."

*Brief pause as I tried to count to ten, and made it to three*

"The maggots are from rats caught in the traps you DID do. And then didn't pick up them up, and it's been, oh, ten days."

"Ohhh."

"Yeah, 'oh.' Did you really call to tell me that you thought I wanted you to clean up maggots that just happened to be laying around the house?? They are falling from my CEILING, which means something that has been dead a long time is breeding them, and they are FALLING ON MY FURNITURE, through my LIGHT FIXTURE."

"Oh."

"They promised someone would take care of it TODAY."

"How about... tomorrow at the end of the day?"

UGH. Phil just commented that I don't know for sure that that's where they are really coming from, so guess what?

I'M GOING UP THERE.
