Gross

I got to work this morning, nice and rested from my day off yesterday. I was sitting in my office, talking to someone, as I opened up one of the wall lockers. I leaned in, took a DEEP breath, and said, "Whoa, it smells really bad in here." The only thing I keep in there are files and paperwork, nothing that could have gone rotten, so that should have been my first clue that something was wrong. I looked down, and there was a DEAD MOUSE on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. As soon as my brain registered what it was, I RAN out of the office and stayed there, until the mouse was disposed of. My office still smells like death, even after taking everything out of that cabinet and spraying it with Lysol.

UPDATE: I've been thinking about it and I am pretty sure that dead mouse was the same one I've seen running around the office (I wrote a post about it a little while back). I think I may have closed the wall locker door, not realizing it was in there one night, and trapped it. I was wondering, just the other day, why I hadn't seen the little thing in a few days....it was probably already trapped at that point. ::shudder::

UPDATE: I was probably wrong. This place is INFESTED with mice. I have seen 2 more in my office since then!
