Public Safety Soft on Bat-Issues
In true Halloween style, a bat got into the 3rd floor bathroom in Morris House. I found out about it when I saw a housemate knocking on the HR's door. "There's a bat in the bathroom, and I called Public Safety an hour ago." She said, "I was hoping [the HR] would know someone I could call." We decided to give Public Safety another call, telling them that we'd be going in there ourselves if they didn't send someone. Looking back, I can see how that wasn't really an effective threat. We were told that there probably wouldn't be anyone coming tonight. And since leaving the bat in the bathroom wasn't really an option, I headed up to the 3rd floor for some hands-on reporting. Locating the bat was the only scary part, since I was convinced something looking like the winged monkeys in The Wizard of Oz was going to come flying out of the showers at me. In reality though, it was just a freaked out little thing looking like a mouse with wings (with really sharp claws). I had to pick him off the blinds with a trashbag I had found, and then shake him off out the window. No injuries or reports of vampirism as of yet.
