Note to Trainers Who Give Prizes During Pop Quizzes

If you give big black plastic Halloween-toy arachnids (can't even type the S-word) as a prize to someone in the front row, a person blogging in the back row might look up and squeal rather loudly.

Those things might be fake, but they're huge! And they look real!

Plus, if a certain trainee has already established herself as the trainee who spills coffee all over the snack table first thing in the morning, she might begin to think that the gods are amusing themselves directing the course of her day. (She can laugh at this herself, but is further justified in distrusting deities.)

Make sure to check you boots for the plastic arachnids.

And THANKS, BTW, for telling me about that boot thing. I REALLY appreciate it.

Grr.

A friend of mine once casually mentioned her uncle was bitten while putting on a boot. I am now paranoid because she shared.

Just passing on the love!
