The day started with a cool crawl out of bed.
Followed by a wait for coffee (but thanks for making it),
Scraping the window (my arm hurts)
Windexing the inside of the window (please do not wipe it with an outside grime laden squeegee)
And the long drive to work (traffic not too bad)
My mood is dark. Too much to get done, and lots of people want things … now.
Wait for the traffic light to turn into work. About 90 seconds, a long light, and they won’t give us a free turn on green – we have asked.
As I am driving in the entrance road I notice a deer to my right.
Could be waiting to go through the gate, but the landscape guy is blowing in the parking lot.
After I park the blower moves further inside the lot, and the deer makes his way around the gate.
The next person coming in the drive is still hesitating outside of the gate, and then a younger deer scoots around the gate.
Blower off I let the landscaper know what was happening in his wake.
We all start to walk around the tank (2 million gallon) to the building, and 2 deer appear going the other way around.
We stop, they scamper across the lot to a wooded piece on the other side.
As we continue, the small deer appears around the tank, eyeing us suspiciously.
So we stop and even back up a bit. The deer gets behind a truck, but does not appear out the other side. We finally move forward and he has been spying on us around the bumper.
About that time, one of the larger deer comes back to find out what is keeping junior, and they all saunter off to the wooded place.
Oh – and our office area has been declared a wildlife friendly location.
