In which I desperately wish I were a boy.
July 2nd, 2008 by Amy BethHello.
It is 2:02 p.m. and I am sitting at my desk at the Starlite office.
In the other room, there is a bird trapped in the fireplace thing-y.
I have not seen it in there, but I can hear it’s little bird-y noises from here.
I do not know what to do.
Pros to rescuing the bird: it survives.
Cons to rescuing the bird: I may not survive.
Pros to leaving the bird alone: I don’t get attacked by the bird.
Cons to leaving the bird alone: I continue to feel guilty.
Sigh.
No one mentioned this part of the job in all my ministry classes.

Awww man. I so hope you rescue the birdie. Just pray really hard before you do it….and for the love of Pete, take your camera (or video would be better) because this is EXCELLENT blog fodder.
HOW do all these birds get in your offices???
Another con to leaving the bird alone: if it dies in there, you’ll wish you were a boy with nasal congestion.
You’re welcome.
And if you were a boy you’d just pull out your shot gun and take care of it? Nah, being a girl is much better.
K… here I go again. Call. The. Landlord. I’m really good at role playing, and I can call and tell him/her that I’m an attorney for the housing authority and… oh, wait. That’d be a lie. Okay. I could call and demand he/she come take care of the problem ‘cuz it is the RIGHT thing to do. Or… you could get a big ole piece of posterboard or something and tape it over the front of the fireplace so birdy cannot make his way into the office. Or… you could just run away. Any of those.
what a very odd problem to have.
Aren’t birds symbolic in the Bible or something? Doves, ravens, etc. Maybe this MEANS something. Hmmm… I know what it means. God revealed it to me. You’re not supposed to bail on me. Yup. Can totally back that up with scripture. Or not.
Awww…. poor birdie. Though it is entirely possible that the bird is building a nest in your chimney rather than being trapped. =) Wouldn’t that be fun??
…hmmmm. That’s a difficult one.
Your posts totally crack me up!
I am totally with you: birds stuck in a chimney is totally “man work.”
