mousey mousey mousey mousey, NUUUTS, NUUUTS

[ambar]

Well, I don't know quite what connected me today (maybe it was the long and patient session of grounding & meditation while in the car driving to work this morning), but I called to clear up a detail about my bank account that has been annoying me for just months, and they just did it (and promised to fix a second issue, not that I need another line of credit. I'll probably close the first when the paperwork arrives.)

And then I completed my weekly review at work for the first time in weeks and weeks. Am torn between leaving early to do homework somewhere enjoyable as a reward, and the fact that I have just (effectively) arranged a one-quarter pay cut for myself, and that I "should" really soak up all the hours I can.

The mystery mice in the office struck the drawer in which I store M&Ms (for everyone else in the office) and nuts (for me). Found holes in the bag of M&Ms and the bag of macadamia nuts; the pecans and the Emperor's Choice tea were unaffected. Interestingly, they didn't do any *eating* in that drawer; for that, they took their booty up a floor, to the shallower drawer where I keep rulers and pencils and such, which now smells like mouse piss. Time to figure out a better storage system, I guess. Sheesh, when I started at this place, the ants were invading my car bigtime if *any* particle of food could be found in it. I guess rubbermaid tubs are next.

We had good luck with the plastic tubs with tight-fitting lids at work. The mouse problems were severe --- they even built a little "nest" inside a computer or two, ruining it in the process.

Be careful.

They look so innocent in Orlando!

This is the second time this week I've heard stories of mice invasions in office drawers. I just thought I'd point out the coincidence...
