Rats

I leave work for four days and rats invade the office. This is why I have so many vacation hours, because things happen when I leave. Lucky for everyone involved (except her), it was Sister Claire who discovered the offending rodent, which was traumatizing for her, but guaranteed a funny story for the rest of us.

On her spreading discovery-

I screamed but no one came to help me. I realized that it's because doctors don't respond to screams. Screaming is normal; screaming just means that they're doing something. Next time, I should just fall on the floor. That'll get their attention.

On being jittery-

Sister: Then Mike knocked on my door and I screamed again, I thought-

Moi: You thought that the rats had learned to knock?

Sister: Yeah, I was surprised that it was such a strong, steady knock. And how polite it was of the rat, too.
