Adventures of Batboy

There was a bat in the front lobby area at work today. My brave co-worker Ryan tried to make him leave, armed only with a broom, an umbrella and a Halloween mask.

Ryan's plan was to shoo the bat out the front door, held open by another brave co-worker, Keegan, who is also my brave immediate supervisor.

But Ryan and his broom only managed to squish the bat, holding him hostage against the wall. The bat squeeled horribly. Brave Ryan ran, Brave Keegan shivered and shook the door and Brave Onlookers high-tailed it back up the stairs.

Meanwhile, the bat hid behind the emergency exit sign above the door. He's still there.

The battle in photos:

I smile bravely for the camera and then run up the stairs as soon as the bat starts squeeling.




Batboy (aka Ryan) ascends the stairs, badly beaten by the bat, but still exuding greatness in his mighty bat-fighting garb.
