I got jacked

[~Abyss~]

I can't believe this. I work as a costodian at a middle school and I have my own hopper room ( just a room to keep my broom, mops,whatnot). I decided to bring a baby (unsure of instar) H.try. He was in a little delicup and did fine in the 85+degree temp. Today the delicup is gone along with my scorp. Another janitor must of used my room because thing aren't the way I left them. Ughh I just can't go around asking who took my scorpion either.

 

[lizmotobike]

don't ask who took my scorp. calmly ask who used the closet, and specifically what did they do with the bug you were removeing from the childrens play area. only a suggestion, then explain you were turning it over to a friend, an etomologist ( god i hope i spelled that right), to identify it in case there was a problem.

I'm sorry to hear that; intrusive a**holes can be a drag.:wall:

 

[~Abyss~]

I know i'm gonna hear about this tommorow. Ugh i hate this job. Love the paycheck. BUT HATE THE JOB

 

[tabor]

Maybe someone threw it away by mistake or misplaced it. I doubt a layperson would recognize it for what it is, hell, most people hate scorps... More likely a mishap than a theft imo.

 

[emmille]

hey

try checking inside the trash. just be cautious nobody's looking. the janitor might have thought it's just a piece of junk.

 

[Mark Newton]

How inconsiderate and rude.....people amaze me, what is the motive? A scorpion doesnt just appear in a deli cup without thought and reason behind it, to which this unthinking person intervened....sick, simply sick!

 

[8ball]

if it had a lid on it he probably either threw it away or dumped all the stuff out without lookin and used it for somethin else

 

[~Abyss~]

nah the assistant manager found it gave it back and told me it was illegal to keep it there. I don't see why he would do that I have it safely put away and I'm the only person that ever uses that stupid hopper room. I even had it hidden so he was just looking for a reason to site me. 2 more and I won't pass my provation period. He doesn't like me very much.

 

[Michiel]

well,

to be honest, maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do to bring a scorpion to your work.

 

[~Abyss~]

I get lonely ..... Techniqly I shouldnt have but he shouldn't have been looking.

I never bring my Scorps outside of my home unless I absolutely have to. There is really no need to bring him to work, it just puts undue stress on the poor animal.

I don't see a problem with keeping him there if it is to be his permanent home, and if you explained that he is a completely harmless species, they will understand. Most middle schools keep class pets like rats or something, which are 100x more dangerous than a H. troglodytes.

 

[~Abyss~]

I did have him there to be permanantly there. It's always hot in there and all i was doing is bringing a cricket from home every once in a while. I even had a little mini set up there for him....

 

[LF[Media]]

Well, if you have a pet on someone's property other than your own, this is a risk you will always run. I think your boss definitely misunderstands scorpions, but do you really want your pet to be somewhere where everyone thinks a harmless H. troglodytes is an evil killer? I would just take him home with me, he will be safer there anyway.

 

[~Abyss~]

well Yeah i took him home anyways. The thing about the whole situation is that he was out of public eyes. Oh well I guess I'll just bring my Python

 

[LF[Media]]

What kinda Python you have? I love Pythons as well I have a burm and just fed him today

LOL, I think you should leae your bugs at home.....

 

[blueheat]

Seriously, just don't bring animals to work! Not only is it a bit weird, but it sounds unduly stressful to the animal in question, and you run the risk of something like this happening again. Very odd.

 

[~Abyss~]

Well i hardly think the scorp was in any major stress but WEIRD??? yeah your right.
