Bee Stings & Fee Stings
I just got stung by a wasp. Hey, that hurts! I love what this website tells you to do: "They should be brushed off the victim's skin promptly with deliberate movements, then quietly and immediately leave the area." Very funny. Immediately leave the area--sure; but quietly? I hardly tiptoed out of there, I can tell you that. And we won't talk about the "quiet" verbal expression I might've uttered.
I was in the process of removing a massive shrub of grass (pampass grass?), probably a circumference of 15 feet (& 10' high). Huge. I was happily plodding away, which took the better part of a Saturday. The warning signs were there all afternoon; I knew there was a nest in there, and I'd seen them buzzing around. I took minimal precautions (my wasp spray was posted on the fence like some sort of scarecrow--apparently wasps can't read!).
I think some lawyers treat client service with the same sort of "scarecrow" mentality. They happily grind away working on client files. The warning signs remain, with even the latest research showing little to no improvement in perceptions. Yet they work away without any regard for the warning signs. Somebody's going to get stung.
The problem here is this pain won't go away with some baking soda and an advil.
