Creatures at the Work Place

So, today I had a somewhat interesting adventure. I was just minding my own business at my computer at work, when Tyler (the guy I share an office with) yelled from the breakroom area, "Jeff, come see this quick!" Now, there's usually not much to see at our workplace so I figured that I'd better come quick so I don't miss it.

I ran into the other room just in time to see a snake slither across the floor. I've seen several snakes around the outside so it must have just slithered its way in one time when the door was open or something.

Well, naturally we caught it. This is what it looked like.

Sorry the images aren't super clear. I didn't have my camera since I was at work, so these were taken with my phone.

Anyway, naturally since we had a snake it was important for us to have some fun with it. We put it in a box and went and handed the box to Mike, another one of our coworkers. Upon receipt of the box his first action was to shake it. We told him that was not recommended but he should open it. He opened it and shrieked, "Oh My Gosh!" and promptly held the box out for us to take it away. It would have been cooler if he threw the box, but that would have been sadder for the snake.

We tried giving the snake as a gift to another coworker but when he opened the box he just said, "oh cool, a snake." After that we just let him go outside.

Of course, the whole thing was not nearly as cool as the time we put a gopher in someone's desk drawer, but that's a whole different story.
