Freaky Friday...

So, up at school, cleaning/redding out my office, come across the architect's plans for the fine arts wing here at the high school and think to myself

"Self, those would look kind of nice on your giant, blank, wall until you get something else to go up there..."

So, I decide to unroll them (they had been sitting behind my door for about a month) and put them up.

As I pick up the roll of paper, I notice there are some cobwebs on the inside. Nothing unusual, I work in the country - crickets and spiders are everywhere out here. I decide to unroll the plans and clear off the spider-stuff, nothing major.

NOPE.

As I unroll the plans what falls out but a ... BLACK WIDOW SPIDER. Now, I have never seen one of these in real life, but there's the red hourglass marking and everything. Apparently the bugs in my office aren't good eating, since it was dead... but wow.

Now, I am not creeped out by spiders usually (unless they are crawling on you - that's creepy) but this one makes my skin crawl.

So, now I have a class A case of the willies. Time to finish cleaning... *shivers*
