Things I love about working here

[clevermanka]

During the summer, when there's construction going on in the building, we often find the local fauna invading our workspace.

In what looks to be a repeat of last year's performance, a group of squirrels has found their way into our dropped ceiling and spend their days running back and forth over the none-too-sturdy tiles. This causes no end of nervous glances upwards from everyone sitting at a desk. It's only a matter of time, right?

And repeating their roles as insecta-non-grata are the wasps that buzz my office and land on my monitor and window. I hate them. I had to kill several last year and this year isn't looking much better. I would like to reassure current and former students that your MA theses and PhD dissertations are being put to good use.

Ha! remind me never to drop off a copy of a magazine I'm in.

Magazine probably wouldn't be heavy enough, so it'd be safe.

I remember the same problem with wasps when I worked in Strong over the summer. We didn't have squirrels though. We had problems with birds getting in.
