Mouse

My life is one big chain of stupidities, every day is a new journey, you never know what's going to happen :-)

Maybe is was the lack of sleep, I don't know. This morning I sat in my office when suddenly I heard the squeaking of a mouse! Uh oh... I know we have mice at the office, that's one of the 'charms' of working in a house in the woods. Rentokil has placed mouse traps just recently and now we seem to have a lot of flies seeming to come from nowhere, strange.... But anyway, I was sure that I had heard the squeaking and I looked cautiously under my desk, behind the closet, behind the radiator. O dear, the mice had somehow escaped! But what a relief, there was not a mouse to be seen; it must have been a bird outside my window.

This afternoon I heard the same sound again and then finally I realised that the sound came from a pocket calculator on my desk. Some gadget I once received from a recruitment agency. On the hour it goes 'beep', but now that the batteries are low the sound resembles the sound of a mouse! HA HA What a fool I am!

Luckily nobody saw me this morning while 'mouse hunting'. Unfortunately it's not always avoidable to be alone in such awkward situations. Like this morning when I was cleaning my badge under the tap when a colleague entered the toilets. I had to confess that I dropped my badge into the toilet...
