Bird Watching

So I’m sitting in my boss’s office today having a one-on-one meeting, when I look to my right. There, outside the sliding glass doors, in the rain, is a flock of sparrows pecking at the ground. There must have been at least thirty of them. Now, I can’t be 100% positive, but I’m pretty sure that these are the same little S.O.B’s that torment me at home, chasing away the “nice” birds (like chickadees), while they gorge themselves on the dwindling contents of my feeders.

There I am sitting there, helpless, trying to concentrate on what my boss is talking about. But all I can do is watch these guys sitting on the grass, not ten six feet away, taunting me. How they found me, I have no clue. And how they knew I was without my laser pointer, I have no idea.

One of these days I’ll make my dreams come true and figure out how to covert a bug zapper into a “bird feeder”. Then we’ll see who has the last laugh.
