What a way to wake up!

I have a funny bat story to share...the building I work in is well over a hundred years old and the two upper floors are vacant, except for a couple colonies of bats. When I first started working there they were more prevalent than they are now, since the upstairs windows have been covered over and the tin ceilings removed. Anyway, one day a bat decided to come downstairs and visit. We did not want to hurt it but we did want it out of the store, so we called animal control. They had a new guy who was totally unsuited to the job. He came in dressed like a 'ghost buster' and was scared silly to get even close to the bat. He kept talking on and on about how you needed to be really careful not to get bit because they all had rabies. Finally a customer shooed it out the door with a piece of cardboard. BTW the animal control guy was never seen again! Apparently he decided that was not a good career choice for him (or maybe his superiors decided for him?)
