You can count on it.............

Ten fingers, ten toes and that is the extent of some people's ability to count.  Well, that is how it seems with the books of Kennebec County.  We have had to change numbers on pages and flag differences and always be on the alert for skipped numbers - in one instance it was 20 pages of numbers - jumped from  230 to 250 in one page turn.
And I thought that State workers were from the cream of the crop - after all would you want the dull and bottom of the class people doing the clerical work for the state that is supposed to have the infrastructure of office practice to keep the state working at top level?  Top notch people who are alert and able to count pages at least so that the numbers are consecutive?  Well, I thought that too, but apparently they did not hire the brightest bulb in the box to number these pages.
It has been raining all day but it is not expected that the Kennebec will rise to flood stage as it did last week.  Or so it is hoped.
the cleaning crew boss came in and told us about capturing the flying squirrel in her cleaning closet.  It was a male squirrel and we do not know if he has a harem somewhere in the ceiling but if he does, then the urine and feces may cause a problem later on - we will not be here to see that.  She does not know how many other critters are living in the ceiling - we may even have a whole family of bats in there as well.  Guess it beats living out in the wild where it is extremely cold in the winter and muggy and hot in the summer - the building is climate controlled and who in their right mind would wan to leave that?
Certainly not the Squirrels or the bats.
