hamster alert

i am annoyed that there is a grey hamster running (and possibly burrowing and multipying itself as we speak) around in the staff room for the past few days!!

someone had 'lost' the hamster and too embarrassed to admit that there is a rodent let loose in the staff room and be blamed for the droppings/offsprings/holes in shoes, boxes, etc, etc.

there have been a few sightings and frankly, i am TERRIFIED.

yes, i am terrified of hamsters/mice/chipmunks or whatever from the rodent family. its the damn twitching whiskers, sharp teeth, furry fur and small size that could crawl up your skirt or pants. in short, they are disgusting. and lets not forget the plague of europe in the 18th century where rodents were the one who were responsible of so many deaths of unearthly proportions.

i once gave the husband a dwarf hamster a few months after we got together. he told me he wanted a pet to keep him company when he was in uni and so i bought him the hamster and transported it all the way to kl. just dont ask me how i did it. it was traumatising for me and the hamster. thank god we both survived the ordeal.

he named the hamster So Hamsap. (so cheeky) few weeks later he bought another one and named it Go Humping (self-explanatory). two female lesbo hamsters. he gave them away after almost 2 years of taking care of them.

and now, with a hamster on the loose, i am even scared to go barefoot in my cubicle. i have tonnes of rubbish underneath my table. perfect nesting ground. and now i am even afraid to clean up the mess!

my life as a teacher has never been this tortured (ok, maybe that one time when the stove exploded la.)

somebody please go and hunt and catch that damn rat!
