Yesterday left me shocked, molested, and wedged in a pickle.

Yes. All of that in one day.

Let's start with shocked.

I was shocked. Literally. I walked into the dark teacher's lounge of the studio yesterday morning, first one there (as always), and blindly searched for the light switch. The studio is "under construction" (I say that in quotes because it's more like it was just never finished), and so there is no face plate on the light switch. My fingers sort of went past the light switch, into the wall with all the open wires and crap, and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZUUUUUUUUMMMMMMPPPP!! I screamed and took my hand away (duh) because it scared me, not really because it hurt. Then I stood there for a few seconds, questioning if I was really just electrocuted? Yes, I was. Slightly. Cool? Not cool?

So like ten minutes go by and then I get molested. I was sitting on the toilet, mid pee, and I feel this curious trickle of water? A string? move across my leg. Wait, no, that's a rat sized COCKROACH! On my inner thigh, moving upward. I jump up, mid pee (and consequently find out I have a great ability to stop peeing in emergencies) and start freaking the f*ck out. Swatting my legs, screaming bloody murder, jumping up and down like I'm on hot coals. The rat sized roach runs away and leaves me forever traumatized.

Now the pickle part.

Remember yesterday's post? How I was all nervous about telling my work I had to work at another studio on Tuesday nights? Yeah, didn't go too well.

Here are my options:

• Work as an independant contractor where I will have to find my own students, and rent the floor from them for 25$ a lesson.
• Have the other studio (my "home" studio) hire me as teacher from my current studio and pay a lot more than originally planned.
• Blow off my "home" studio and put them in a really shitty situation, which would be all my fault.

The problem is I don't really like any of those options. What do I do??? Urghghghgh
