    And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

    I don’t see squirrels very often where I live but I visited my sister in Northern CA on New Years and she had a bunch in her backyard eating the bird food. She tried to deter them by greasing the pole. It worked for a while but they still got the food after a while as you can see:

    Ours are back with a vengence! Wow! There's about six of them and they hang from the branches above my dogs and squeal at them...which drives the dogs crazy... I thought one of my pooches was actually climbing up the side of our large cedar tree and my brain was trying to fathom what I was seening, but then I realized it was a racoon (one of our dogs resembles a raccoon)....Then all hell broke loose with the squirells yelling at the racoons who were snarling back at the squirrels - I thought my dogs were going to explode!!

    Woman called Nutt over-run by squirrels


    The squirrels have been chewing through the roof

    A woman in Northern Ireland says her home has been over-run by grey squirrels.

    Oonagh Nutt, from Moira in County Down, says the animals first came into her garden from an adjoining park six years ago, but in the last 18 months they got too close for comfort.

    "I thought it was lovely, I called one of them Hazel but then the next thing they'd got into the house," she said.

    Mrs Nutt says the squirrels have caused serious damage: "They chewed their way through my roof in several places, they tunnel through the cavity walls, they live under the floor boards, they go to the toilet in the attic.

    "Up close they are quite frightening - they look like puppy dogs with big hands, they growl and bark at you, they're vicious things. They'll go for you.

    "I have a small child in the house and regularly at night the scratching and chewing and moving about will wake him up."

    Mrs Nutt says she's spent thousands of pounds trying to tackle the problem.

    "I've had pest control round putting poison down in the roof space and travel routes through the house. But then they died inside the cavity walls and the house is infested with flies. It's a nightmare.

    "We've had squirrel catchers, traps, lights, sonar. Everything but the kitchen sink."

    Mrs Nutt is unhappy with the attitude of her local council to the pest problem.

    "I rang Lisburn City Council three times and have been told in short to go away. They say they're not a pest so there's nothing they can do."

    Ian Woods from Grey Squirrel Control says it's an increasingly common story.

    "Every year it's becoming more and more of a problem around this time of year. People really don't understand the damage they cause."

    Lisburn City Council said any resident who experiences a pest problem should contact its pest control unit on (028) 9250 9417.
