Mickey Resurrected

It seems to me that I have more mice than a Disney store. Last night as I was taking out the hot carpet from the box in the closet where my predecessor left it, a whole mess of mouse droppings fell out. I would say that it could amount to an entire cupful. Then to matters even worse, I began to see mice scurrying about. In total, Cristina and I counted 4, all of which we were able to successfully chase outside. However, don’t think it was that easy. It took a bowl, a broom and few good screams before we could chase them out. They had gnawed the hot carpet and made this giant nest (by the giant heap of droppings). I took the hot carpet outside, but I think that they may end up coming back inside. This will lead me to simply talk to my office and see if I can get relocated to a new place. There is a “town apartment building” that all the single teachers live in that I am going to ask to be switched to. I am almost sure that there will be room as of March or April because two of the teachers that live there now are leaving to other schools because we have too many teachers. Perhaps with a little persuasion (or an ultimatum at the time of re-contracting) I can move in there. I will bring it up to my office on Monday.

P.S. My office wants to measure my body fat on a cool machine they got for the gym. Welcome to my world.
P.S.S. I saw Dodgeball last night and almost died laughing. Consider it highly recommended (as Finding Neverland, if I had not mentioned already).
P.S.S.S. I signed up for the Sakurajima “Marathon” today – 10K. Wish me luck.
