uninvited guests

We have mice in our office now.

And I don't mean the kind you keep in cages.

We started seeing them scurrying between the cubicle dividers about two weeks ago.

The building maintenance people called in an exterminator the day after the rodents' first appearance, and they supposedly laid out traps. But the sightings have continued.

Several of us have been entertaining ourselves with the idea of having a "Bring your cat to work day" ...

death by kitty is certainly preferable to death by glue trap. or you could get a snake and release it...

Honestly, I think Death By Izzy could be pretty terrifying, if you were small enough for her manic little teeth & claws to sink in.

But, yeah, you'd hope that'd be quicker and less agonizing than Death By Glue Trap.

Maybe adopting an office snake really would be the way to go. Except that would freak some people out even more than the mice ...

Meanwhile, my teacup, loose tea, and any other remotely food-related possessions are living in the locked filing cabinet.
