Sqeeeeeeeek!

Today I shrieked down the phone at a customer. Possibly not the finest move, professionally speaking. Luckily, he was a nice customer, and laughed when I apologised and explained to him that a mouse had just run past, mere inches from my foot. To clarify, I'm not frightened of mice, but unexpected, fast-moving animals, in close proximity to my person, can be a little startling. And I certainly do not expect to see such things at work given that I'm employed in accounts, not forestry.
