While some people had the problem of dealing with the Ash Cloud, I had the problem of dealing with Ants. Someone in our shared kitchen decided to employ Ant Powder. To be honest, the Ant Powder seemed to cause more havoc than the Ants. At one point it even seemed as if the Ant Powder was being used by the Ants as camouflage. Meaning that they were able to move about in the kitchen area undetected. Resulting in a problem twice the size – the problem of the Ants grew to become the Ant and Ant Powder problem. As things escalated in the kitchen I found it hard to be overly concerned about the Ash Cloud. The kitchen became a no-go area and for a day there was no boiling water. Images of people stranded in airports faded in significance as my free and easy access to the kettle was being blocked. I was trapped in my work space. Like those trapped abroad. At least the Ash Cloud was Ash I thought to myself, now we don’t know if the Ant Powder is Ant Powder or Ants disguised as Ant Powder.
