on the cricket in the room

You saw it in the hallway.  You debated doing something...killing it, moving it, something.  But you decided to walk by it and leave it for someone else to deal with.

Now it has made its way down the hall and into your office.  Its inching closer and closer and ignoring it is no longer an option.

It occurs to me that maybe the scary little bug is kind of a metaphor for those little issues you ignore and avoid and allow to fester into big, scary problems that sneak up on you and stalk you and interrupt you at the most inopportune time.

Just a thought...
