Merry Christmas from Chuck

We have arrived…

…in the Land of High-Tech-ness and Cool-osity.
Remember this photo of a bed bug feeding on the arm of one of our staff?  Well that was cool. But when we saw it we all knew it was not as cool as it could be.
So we did what anyone would do when their blog is not measuring [...]

The Bed Bug Diaries part 3: A Friend for Chuck

When a not-to-be-named customer stopped into the office nearly a month ago with a live bed bug specimen in a rubbermaid container, life in the office changed in ways none of us could have imagined.
Things got a little more interesting. A little more exciting.
A lot more freaky.
Seeking to better empathize with our customers, office staff [...]

The Bed Bug Diaries: Part 2

Last week I told the story of how we acquired a bed bug as an office pet.
Well, now I am back to report the most recent and grossly disturbing development.
It all began Tuesday around 5:15 pm, on what would appear to have been an ordinary evening at the office.
I had largely forgotten about the bed [...]

Speaking of bed bugs…

We have one in the office.
And it’s not dead.
No lie.
I am kinda freaking out about this.
A customer brought it in last week in a tupperware container. While I have spent hours upon hours researching bed bugs, I personally had never seen a live one before. Only pictures.  This was pretty exciting.
