Mouse Evicted...I hope

Well the mouse appeared today in my neighbors office. The office manager who was in her office freaked and nearly jumped on the desk! It scooted behind some file cabinets and under the desk and I pointed it out and suggested my co-worker pick up her jacket which had fallen from her chair. I hadn't seen the mouse reach that so I didn't think it went in there, but it disappeared all of a sudden. I couldn't find it anywhere. Oops - her purse was on the floor under her desk. So she proceeds to dump the entire contents out on a table in her office - no mouse.

Eventually it reappeared. We chased it out the door - there's an exterior door to the HC entrance from her office - and it kept poking its little head back in under the weatherstripping of the door. Not very good weatherstripping! So she kept shooing it away with her foot. I said she might go on doing that all day! So I opened the door and stomped around and didn't see it anywhere along the ramp or deck outside the door. But a few minutes later it was back in.

Finally one of the crew guys arrived and took to chasing it. He eventually corralled it back outside and luckily was able to find a new steel/rubber weatherstripping thingy and screwed it into the door so the mouse couldn't get back in.

So - time will tell. Will there be mouse poop on my desk again? Let's hope not. What are the chances that this was the one and only mouse??? Not sure.

I believe it's been evicted.
