So, I wanted to keep work happenings out of this blog, especially since I really like the new(ish) company that I work for. But when something like this happens, I can't pass it up. This email was sent to all employees. I've taken out any names and company names to at least keep it semi-anonymous.
Attention: All Employees
Due to the growing problem of Canadian Geese using the grounds of [edit] this company as a gathering point, we have hired a company to disperse the birds away from our building. Migratory Bird Management is a licensed control specialist who will utilize highly trained border collies, and a variety of other techniques, to persuade the birds to leave our property without harming the animals. As some of you may recall, last spring when these geese were allowed to establish a nest around people, they became very aggressive. Furthermore, the mess that large numbers of birds leave in our parking lot is unpleasant and could even pose a health hazard, if left unchecked. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this new vendor or their techniques, please contact me.
Thank you,
Facilities Manager
I'm in the wrong business if there are people getting paid to use dogs to chase birds away. This funny big of chat did happen shortly after I told Muk about it. Unfortunately, he was talking about a poker tournament:
[16:35] Mukwrm715: such a shame when perfectly laid plans backfire
[16:36] XaQ Morphy: like when the dogs eat the geese? or are you talking about something else?

I had a problem like that with blackbirds at an old apartment complex I used to live in. They crapped and cawed all friggin night.
I finally (after about a week) bought some firecrackers, and fired them off every night for about a week.
Funny thing, they never came back to my place. They went to crap on my other neighbors.
Nothing like choosing the most expensive, stupid way of dealing with a situation, I suppose.
It's Canada Geese, not Canadian Geese.
Yeah, ummm, thanks geoffrey. Next time I quote something word for word I'll consider editing it.
