Just came over the e-mail regarding the ongoing mice problem at the office....
We are working with the building to alleviate this problem as much as possible. Please call the Bldg. Mgr.'s office (edited - name removed to protect the innocent) when you have a sighting and give them the specific date and time and location of the sighting. This will help us document the patterns and frequency in our division with the building.

For your information....four mices have been spotted on my floor with one captured.

Anyone's office have a mice problem?

    Good grief... let's document and analyze mouse behavior.


    (I'm hungry, let's go to the fridge and steal food and get them to blame each other.)

    Patterns and frequency? Are they doing scientific research on the mice?

    I use the standard snap trap with peanut butter. We had a mouse in house last year and we could hear the scritching and scratching late at night. I put out the traps and the wife and I sat down to watch some TV; we heard some scratching... then SNAP, all done. :D Worky good!

    That was deployed a couple of years back. One of my female coworkers came in at 7am and found a mice stuck to the glue trap near her cubicle. Still struggling to get free. She proceeded to call the "building services" people, hoping they will come and pick it up. Let's just say that the "building services" people don't start work until 8am.

    Unfortunately we have a mouse trap at my place of employment also. Don't use glue traps, get something that'll put them out of their misery quickly. It's no fun to have to sit there and listen to them suffer.

    My brother's work area has some small holes in the ceiling. It's great having mice fall down on your desk as you're on the computer or eating. :D

    Is "building services" people code name for janitor? At my store, we have "housekeepers" but when I worked in St. Louis (same company) they called them "environmental services." I guess because more guys had the job there. lol

    Yes, they're in our office too. They put the traps right under the vending machines. ROFLMAO! That's the best weight loss gimmick I've ever seen.

    Oh no, my employer being the government and we have separate job classifications for each and every employee. The janitors are the "custodians", whereas the "building services" people handle the light bulbs and carry screwdrivers.

    Then there are the engineers who does financial advising as a side job while at the office :mad:
