They'll have that defeated by tomorrow.
Likely, but it is a valiant effort.

It is a very effective and clever approach, and definitely outside of the envelope.

Trouble is the squirrels have all day long to figure out how to conquer it.

Do they give up and find an easier target?
Or do they take it as a personal challenge?

They are driven to prove they are superior to us.  I recommend reading Outwitting Squirrels by Bill Adler Jr.

I exited the house one day, to find a large squirrel spreadeagled on the walk, sunning himself *and* his enormous nutsack.

He turned, and without any other motion gave me the "What the make the beast with two backs are YOU lookin at?" stare.

I told him I was lookin at a IZ_ tailed rat that was fixing to get booted out onto the street, and continued walking straight toward him.

He waited til the last moment to run off.

The defiance was palpable.

I had to channel my inner squirrel balls today when I was informed that I would not be getting paid commissions on sponsorships (part of my pay structure) for an event happening this coming Sunday that I worked my ass off in getting a record # of sponsors.

Big wtf.  Fired off an email documenting my pay structure and received a comical response back.  The guy is such an effing...._______ [fill in the blank].  I will see to it that I get paid.

But, it was a good day to have another phone job interview (same company as past two interviews).  Working on an in-person interview later next week.   [thumbsup]
