The Birds

Ok seriously there is just nothing normal left about my job. Yesterday I went to work at the very normal hour of 3pm. Which as you can believe I was wicked excited about. I walk in and go out on the floor, and my co-worker calls me up to the second floor to see our pet pigeon. I'm a little confused mind you, but as it turns out there is not a joke to be had here. There are really three pigeons in our store. One on the second floor and two on the first floor. Apparently they came in while people were doing shipment at 6am. I was thinking maybe the just flew in with both sets of doors open. But no that would make to much sense. They actually walked right in. We know this because they actually have them on camera just walking in. Not really sure where the person was who was suppose to be standing at the back door. I thought the whole thing was kinda funny myself, but apparently we have quite a few people in the store who are afraid of pigeons. That was even more funny if you ask me. Most of the time you didn't even know they were there, but occasionally they would fly around and cause some commotion. One almost landed on my head. Funny thing about that was that the two people I was talking to were kind of freaking out and I tottally forgot that the pigeon was there. I was kind of confused about why there was a sudden wind behind my head, but apparently that was the pigeon.
So animal control was called, but they couldn't come out until after the store closed. Only problem with that is that we close at 10pm and animal control closes at 9:30pm. Not that they bothered to tell us this until it was 11pm and we had been waiting for them for hours. In fact they actually told us they were going to be there at ten. I don't know why they bothered to tell us that, but whatever not my problem as I'm not the first person on the alarm call list. When everyone left the floor to go home I guess they started flying around like crazy it was super funny. There was dust everywhere. Also not my problem as I dont' work today.
