I'm Melting... or Ding Dong the Rat is Dead

We use Google Voice for our voicemail. It is really convenient. The transcription feature is kind of cool because you don’t have to check your voicemail, it will email a transcription to your email inbox or text it to your phone. All for free.

We’ve been having a recent problem with rodents in our apartment. Rats actually. Juvenile New York City brown rats coming in through a hole under our sink. We tried a humane trap and planned to let them free outside somewhere with grass away from buildings. Alas, they did not go near the humane trap and we were forced into using the classic spring loaded snap traps and caught three little rat-lings in as many days.

At this point we’re kind of horrified. There is nothing quit like catching a baby rat on top of your stove in the middle of the night to creep you out. We realized it was time to call the Super. Our Super’s name is Sam and I’ve known him for over 20 years now! My wife, who is also on our co-op building’s board left Sam a message that we needed some action ASAP.

Sam returned the call and left a message on Google Voice explaining we needed to put our names on the list for the exterminator Urban Pest Control, I present the Google transcript here:

Hi Kristin, This is Sam. I’m trying to get a chance to get back to you with about 2 miles but you gotta the gym and urban design of the Spirit of God. Well give me a call when you get a chance so we, the last day. Thanks.

Repent children, The END is nigh!
