Some more of the mice I take care of. Again, they're very happy and well cared for little buggers. These particular guys are new and young, and were exploring their new surroundings. While I was in the room weighing them, all the lights went off- apparently the staff adjusted the schedule without informing us. Normally the lights in that room are programmed to go off at 6; imagine my shock and momentary terror when they unexpectedly cut at 5:15. The manual override switch seemed to be stuck, and I couldn't get the lights to go back on- I had to finish my work in the dark. I wouldn't have been so freaked out had I not been in a room full of mouse cages and machinery, in a giant facility with no other human beings in it! At least I hoped there were no other human beings, because all of the employees had gone home long ago... creeeepy.
