Vultures on my perch

[stlouie_lipp]

I have the same problem at my window but with geese; and, as any golfer would, I hate geese. Every spring those [expletive] come up to my window and start pecking. I'll add a photo in April.

When I worked at Monsanto in Creve Coeur a few years ago, I would have this problem except with turkeys. No joke, live turkeys are on their campus.

I only get seagulls around the office, but they're no where near here now.

I wish I had a window on any kind. Instead I have an incredibly ugly cubicle with stained carpets in the middle of a cube farm. A window with a view like that sounds like a huge step up even with the bird [expletive]. Not feeling this rant.

Dent's being trapped in cube farm explains some things. You are an outdoor guy right?

I can relate-outdoor guy and all and used to have that setup at my old work - the building was street level in the front, below ground in the back. So basically my office was in the basement. Not even an internet window back then.

Oh, the feeling of dread walking down the steps into the office dungeon each day.

I'm an environmental lawyer. I don't deal in good and evil, I deal in whether a river authority's application for a permit to divert state waters meets the standards contained in Texas Water Code § 11.124(a).

The guardian of the Texas Water Code...All Hail!

Whenever I hear of vultures, I think of the scene in Conan The Barbarian when he is nailed to Tree of Woe and the vultures start ripping his flesh until he catches one in his mouth and breaks his neck. Just epic.

Here ya go. There were two there a moment ago, but the dominant one pecked the other one til it left.

I like how you blurred his face to preserve anonymity.

He's a lawyer. He knows what's up.

It sort of looks like the robot is running away in fear.

The reflection makes it look like the robot is petting the vulture. For some reason now I have an image in my head of the blind kid on Dumb and Dumber petting the dead parakeet that's covered in duct tape. "Pretty bird. Pretty, pretty bird."

In Greek mythology, the Vulture is the descendant of the Griffin. It was a very Buddhist-like, Zen-like symbol of the non-dual oneness of heaven and earth, spirit and matter, good and evil, guardian and avenger.

Seems very fitting for the lawyer heyzeus.

Or you could go with Nekhbet, the Egyptian Goddess of Vultures.

Just noticed my new custom rank. Super.
