Ouch: ???? to December 8, 2008

Our squirrel at the rehab center died yesterday. When they went in, she was presenting signs that she'd had a stroke-like incident. They fought all day to save her, but to no avail. She had to be humanely euthanized yesterday afternoon.

Ouch was a prime example of humans being stupid about wildlife. Ouch came into the center because she wasn't afraid of humans. This indicates that at some point she was probably being fed by humans. The problem with this? She's a wild animal. She's not a cute and cuddly pet. Squirrels are not domesticated. She has (had) her particular name because she had no fear of humans, but she didn't like them either. (Yep, notorious biter.) The important lesson is - it wasn't her fault. Just because some well meaning but deluded human thought feeding her was being helpful, it doesn't mean when she turns on the humans that it's her fault.

Damn I'm good.

I requested a transcript from my college. Paid $5. The awesome people got it out yesterday (I requested it Friday).

And the post office managed to rip a hole right in the middle of it.

My very nice wheedling got me a replacement copy. *sigh* (A replacement copy of the official transcript that goes to employers, not the transcript they send to people who request their own.)
