Snakes

I forgot to mention the incredible perils I am overcoming in order to be here. This morning as I was walking to the support group, my colleague asked me if I have ever seen a snake. Curious as to why she was asking, I replied that I have seen many. She went on to tell me that there are many snakes in the building where the support group meets. Our other colleague proceded to tell me that they were poisonous. I waited for laughter to follow, assuming this must be a joke. Incorrectly interpreting my face of disbelief for a look of fear, my colleague assured me that they have the antidote on site while indicating giving himself a shot in the arm. No joke.
