Bat In Our BelfryThere's a bat in our house. Poor thing can't seem to find open doors and windows. We keep thinking the lost creature found its way outside, only to discover it flying around again. Freaks me out a bit... and i like bats! Least i thought i did 'til one decided to move in!

I don't like bats and they freak me out and one recently was in my mothers house lucky for me I didn't need to deal with it..... I'm no expert but I wonder if once they find a way in if cause of their wings they can't get back out the same way.... One would think it would just go out the window but maybe there sonar or what ever it is can't pick up on the fact that the open space is open? Hope it gets out soon and goes no where near your pet rats.....

Maybe remote sound emitters that you could borrow from a dog owner or even a barking dog's neighbour (according to this article: :::link:::

I wonder if you could make a ton of ultrasonic sound somehow so that the bat goes away from the noise and towards the windows/doors.

It's All A BlurWow. Whirlwind.
Just worked 7 days in a row. Thursday night, and overtime person called to say she could not come in and i got stuck working from 3pm to 11pm then mandated into an overnight from 11pm tp 7am. Back in at 3pm that day. Then, the next day, i was scheduled to work a double from 7am to 11pm.
My employer is really jerking people around. One of my bosses at the location i was pulled from is being pulled to go to another location and fix up the mess the previous supervisor left. So, they are short 1 full time (100%), myself (80%) and another part timer (60%).
Now, the rumour is that, despite my position being eliminated there, i am going back because they are too short.
And the other is that my boss is requesting that she does not have a shift supervisor and that she would just run the house herself. Funniest thing i ever heard. Talk about control freak. Don't want to go back there.... been looking for somewhere new for a while.
Would love to stay at the location i was temp assigned to; they are lovely people there and the bad reputation the house has is not deserved. But, that is not going to happen. They are slowly re-staffing it.
On the positive side, i have 4 days off!
Today, laundry, house cleaning, phone calls, maybe visit another site to check it out.
Tuesday, errands, chores....
Wednesday, a day off with (e:Uncutsaniflush)!
Thursday, a day of pampering @ the nail spa and salon! Yay!

yeah it is a little Freaky one thing is they have the best ads... This line of them some are ok but most are pretty good.... Even though they took the Caveman Idea from SNL (Yes they had a bit Caveman lawyer "But I'm just a caveman") those are great as well they even had a great hockey one and at one point had the cavemen as part of the Shady Rock A Billy guy ads.....

Can We Keep You?That one little off hand remark by a co-worker really made my day.
Second day at the new location and i felt more welcomed there than i have anywhere else.
Had a great conversation with a co-worker for well over an hour about music and did not feel like an outsider freak.
They are used to new people here; a lot pass through their doors.
I am willing to work. To be (moderately and conservatively) flexible with my schedule. To learn new things. To do what needs to be done.
Seems not all that have come there feel the same way.
Of course, i have yet to really "rock and roll" or get mandated (forced to stay for another shift because someone is unable or unwilling to come in to cover it) daily.
But still. Day 2. Not bad.

I think coworkers are like extended family. Sometimes the best thing about any job is how much you look forward to working alongside the people whom you like and respect.

Hope it is a lot of fun.... There are a lot of great shows to see even though they can get crazy.... Plus there is a lot of stuff to see...
