Today is my one year anniversary of being a corporate (whore) employee. All I want now is to get my license so I can actually do the job I am good- no, great at doing: clearing out bedbugs. I’ll get there eventually…

Ooph! I'll remember that (incase I have another bedbug scare).

I’m in Kansas. But I’ll answer any questions about treatment to the best of my ability!

Scariest creature ever! I'm an RN - white towel draped on a patient's upholstered wheelchair. Those things!

Yikes. They can get really bad at places with high turnovers of people coming and going. And if you’re older and less mobile, they will feast on you at night. Please do not hesitate to ask about treatment of those bugs.

It was several years ago but life changing! Fortunately didn't bring them home. I'll never see an upholstered wheel chair without seeing them. Ugh. That is a worthwhile career.

I do not blame you at all. It’s tough work, nursing. Toughest part of my job is everything else but bedbug work. Most fun I’ve had working with patterns and nature. Those bugs can really do damage to a person’s mental state. My bartender experience really helps calm nerves.

Thanks. I love my job. Yes, some of it is tough, very tough, but there is rarely a day when I don't feel that I've helped. I feel privileged to have work like that.
