Like I don't already have enough to do: I have a job that is time-intensive, I have a 13 year-old son who I already feel I don't spend enough time with, and I have a kick-ass girlfriend I'd like to spend more time with. Now, I have to become an assassin in my "spare" time.

There's a rat living in my garage.

I have to hunt down its hiding spaces, block them, remove the little crawlspaces created by the boxes I have stored in there (to say nothing of determining how much of my stuff has been damaged by the thing)--in short, I get to re-configure my whole garage. And my dog used to be SO good at killing these damn things before they ever made it to the garage door . . .
