YES. THE PAGE IS SET TO noindex BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT IT INDEXED.

THERE IS A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT ON MY END.

I work in a renovated part of the building, with a window behind me looking out into trees (it took eleven years here to get a window that didn't look out onto a dumpster or the interior of the building, but hey...). The now-retired woman whose office had these windows before the renovation had said, I am told, that she was tired of looking out and seeing hawks eating squirrels in the tree.

I have spent SEVEN YEARS (six minus the lockdown year) looking out the window hoping for a hawk. Today my eyes started hurting and I realized I needed to focus on something far away, so stood up and turned around. At that exact moment a hawk swooped into the tree in front of me.

myrialux picked me up for lunch today, and dropped me off at the loading dock, where I usually go in. Today I was not the only creature in the inside dock...



A small finch (female house finch, I think) had gotten trapped there. After attempting to call two different people, neither of whom were at their desks, I realized the answer was simple: the controls for the big garage door of the dock (there's a small, human-sized door we go in and out of) were right there. So I opened the door, then spent some time trying to find the bird, who'd hidden around the side of the big walk-in refrigerator unit that Dining Services installed in the dock to store drinks for the library Bistro.

The bird had found the window, and was trying desperately to exit through it, and I blocked its path away from the window (I expect), but I poked around, found a garbage bag full of party decorations, and used a fake branch with autumn leaves on it to gently harry the bird away from the window. It flew around the refrigerator unit and vanished, presumably out the open door.

I'm just glad it didn't get into the ceiling, as there were several missing tiles.

Since it's hitting local, if not national news: this morning there was an incident at the university where we work, in which two shuttle bus drivers got in an argument and one shot at the other (missing), then leaped into his shuttle and angrily drove off, presumably very slowly, as he hit the other driver but caused no injury (from the last report I read). (edit: He's now been arrested.)

The campus sent out an alert that there was an armed suspect on campus when he first fled, but we hadn't left yet and stayed home until we got the all-clear.

Very tiny, very scared wee beastie at the library today. I heard him squalling outside my window (CLOSED and TWO FLOORS UP!), and a coworker who does kitten fostering and campus trap-neuter-release went outside and caught him. He's on his way to the vet now.
