@jpf @SnoopJ It was the office near Alviso, now closed. Nice scenic little town, I always enjoyed spending time there. Lots of bird life, and.. other wildlife. More on that.

@jpf @SnoopJ Food is often an important part of hosting a gathering, and this is no exception. The north campus had no cafeteria, and some great restaurants but not in walking distance, so the food was trucked in from 555 Bailey. I had to do some analytics to figure out how many brownies or sodas to seat out each day, etc.

@jpf @SnoopJ Facilities (we were a tenant) was aware of a persistent issue where mice, looking for a place to go, would somehow get into vents and climb up into the ceiling. Had to make sure not to leave food out and so on. Anyway, I didn’t see the mouse fall out of the ceiling but I was glad it didn’t fall on someone, or worse. It landed in some marinara sauce. The lid was closed, and the whole container taken outside where the mouse was released.

@jpf @SnoopJ On second thought I think the mouse went into hiding behind a cabinet. Landlord did capture it later and take it out. I think the food was closed up and taken away.

@Srl295 @jpf I am beside myself with joy over this additional ceiling-mouse lore, never would have thought marinara sauce was part of the story!
