TheBanyanTree: meeses

[Sachet]

I was walking into our senior Consultant's office yesterday to ask her a 
question when she exclaimed "Do you hear it?!?! Do you hear the mouse in 
my desk drawer?" I put some gloves on and went to open the drawer and 
she screamed and grabbed my arm in a death grip. So I told her that if 
it was going to be this upsetting to her, then she needed to leave. (I 
was trying so hard not to grin.)

At this point our office administrator jumped up on a chair. (I've never 
seen that happen in person. 'Tis so darn funny! <g>)

I carefully opened up the drawer, but no mouse. I saw him scurry off to 
my left, but no way was I going to tell Lizzy or Karen that little 
tidbit. They would have screamed enough to scare everyone within a 5 
mile radius. And we still had students in the building.

Lizzy was appalled and fascinated that I found mouse droppings and 
evidence that the little mouse had been feasting on her cough drops. She 
was also in awe that I was willing to put myself in harms way. <g> 
Geez. She kept offering me gifts from around her office. (Which I declined.)

I told her that I was going to move everything around in her office, so 
she needed to step outside and wait. Then another teacher helped me 
search high and low for the mouse. (Which had wisely vacated the 
premises.) We all decided that once I caught him, if I were so...ummm 
lucky, we would find a safe new warm home for him.

We did find "a" mouse. A lone computer mouse. I could NOT resist and 
neither could Jessie. We started giggling. Then she opened the door and 
told Lizzy that we had found a mouse and I held it out the door.

Lizzy was alarmed to say the least. <G>

She kept exclaiming..."Oh! That was SO wrong! Just plain WRONG of you 
two!" We were laughing so hard. I told Lizzy she was lucky I was a nice 
person, because I could have tossed it at her and watched her have a 
heart attack.

I have now attained heroine status at work, for being willing to rescue 
Lizzy from the itty bitty mouse.

This will be to my advantage some day. Coz one of these days I will need 
a favor. And all I will have to do is whisper "mouse". <g>
