OMGs, once home from PH, there was a squirrel hanging out @ the feeding station on the tree.  I approached, and the squirrel didn’t move; at least not until I reached out to get an apple piece.  Once I had a piece in my hand, the squirrel came back out from behind the tree and back up to the feeding station.  I held out the piece of apple, the squirrel was interested.  I approached, the squirrel grabbed the piece and scurried back up the tree.  I needed that interaction to day.

Not a horrible shift at work.  Two things worth noting concerning my Supervisor:

1. He and our current lead man were talking and I was motioned over.  My super said, “Be honest.  In your opinion, who is the most advanced in this shop?”  I responded, “I am, but B_ is a close 2nd.”  My Super said, “That’s what I thought, and that’s exactly what I told T_.”  Thinking, OMGs, what have I done?  Am I going to be tapped for lead man?  I would have mixed emotions if that happened.
2. After dinner break, the Super was walking around with a pint of ice cream.  I asked him, “Do you have enough for everybody?”  He said he DID have another and was willing to share with someone bold enough to ask.  I, in turn, shared with a shop colleague.

Well hela, this helped out my morning.  I went out to the tree where I leave food out for the squirrels during the winter, and there was a squirrel waiting for me.  He/she watched as I approached with an open hand of a fruit offering.  As I came closer, the squirrel still did not move, and it took the peach seed out of my hand!!!!  Back up the tree it went.  WHOA!
