Bring your cat to work day

The rodent infestation and ensuing drama at work continues apace. We’ve been asked to keep a “mouse log” – a record of sightings and so forth. And since it’s known among my team that I usually carry my camera with me everywhere, I’ve been asked to photo-document any mouse damage or droppings. A mouse log log, if you will.

When the problem first became apparent some months ago, I suggested that we get an office cat. This would be more environmentally friendly and would have a calming effect on the staff. If that were not feasible, I suggested that we at least have a “bring your cat to work day”. I emailed my suggestion to the head of facilites, copying in all relevant personnel (though not my actual bosses).

I have yet to receive a formal reply.
