So I was in drive thru today, which is odd because I'm NEVER in drive thru. Not sure why. Prolly cus I bring my own music to play on the CD player and I don't listen to "normal" music. I was today, so....hurrah for that I guess.

So, the day was slow, filled with your typical dinguses who can't be bothered to fill out a deposit slip because it's A) too hard and they're stupid or B) they're lazy and stupid. Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, long story short.

Around four....maaaaaaaaaaaybe four thirty, I hear this scratching sound coming from the copy machine room, which is right by drive through. Followed by a chirping sound. Intrigued, I momentarily ignore the people waiting in the drive thru to investigate.

I poke my head into the copy room, and I hear it again coming from the ceiling.

A bird. There was a bird trapped in our ceiling! I called my manager and she called building services.

Because I worked at a nursery a while back and have dealt with wild birds, I thought it'd be smart to close the copy room door because if it managed to find a way out of the ceiling, it might freak out and start dive bombing people.

Around forty five minutes later, some of my co-workers had to get in there, so first I poke my head back in to make sure it's all clear. AND THERE'S THE DAMN BIRD! Just sitting on the table across from the copy machine, looking at us.

I opened the drive through door and one of my co-workers scared it out and it flew away.

But that was just the weirdest shit ever.

Evidently, a few tiles in the drive thru canopy hadn't been replaced and it had gotten in that way. So building services fixed it and stuff.

Only at my branch...

Poor bird!
I hate it when birds get inside, I feel bad for them. I always see them inside the local mall, flitting about.

When I was in NYC with my bf, there were a whole bunch in the bus/train/plane hub. That was pretty cool.

Lol thanks. I really am not that short, i'm 5'6 and it was just an angle trick.

Ah that would be really scary if there was a bird in the ceiling of my copy room!
