Wonder Woman and Adventures with Birds

This wonder woman received an email on Friday evening about taking a test to qualify for a certain education job (it's comforting to know that you have to meet a certain intelligence to gain access to the education field). While I was working out the last little kinks in the details of the test time an echoing thud happened upon my window.

I looked, but didn't see anything in particular. I got back to my compi and was working out the details again. BLAM! Thud whacks again. I turned, this time quick enough, to see a brown bird sitting on a hanging potted plant. It looks at me, with this 'are you who I'm looking for?' kind of expression. It then proceeds to plow into the window.

After the first reaction of confusion and concern wore off, I noticed it looks at me again, annoyed that I didn't invite it in. It plows into the window again, and again! And again! That brown bird slammed into the window about ten times before it flew down to the ground and walked to the screen door, waiting to be invited in.

It's very strange having an appointment you didn't know you made. Especially with a species that by all logical sense doesn't make appointments. You don't know if you're being rude, or the other party is. Do you invite them in? Do you ignore them? I mean, I'm a wonder woman and I don't even know the protocol for something like this.

Needless to say, I didn't invite the brown bird in, despite its best efforts to make its appointment with me. It flew back up to the potted plant, smashed on the window a half a dozen times more, and then vanished in the autumn wind. I went back to my computer, and the world returned to the way it should.

Regretting missing an appointment, WW
