Random: Like a bat out of hell...

I did mention this is sort of a hellish week for me, yes?

I recieved this email today, from the Student Housing Officie:

Segundo North residents,

Over the last week, we've received a report of a bat within two Miller Hall rooms. Maintenance staff have assessed all possible interior and exterior entry points and found only one small area which was repaired. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that a couple of rooms did not have their window screen in place. Please note that this is a violation of Housing policy and is also a great entry point for bats which are probably in nearby trees. If you currently do not have your screen in place, please reinstall it immediately. If you need assistance, please submit a repair request online.

If you or someone you know has made any direct or indirect contact with a bat, the University is strongly recommending that you go to the Cowell Student Health Center immediately to be assessed for possible rabies exposure. No cases have been reported but precautions should be taken.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Student Housing



And yes, I do live in Miller, but my window screen is on and I have not (yet) encountered any bats.
