Sounds like a

That is just terrible, Adam.  I'm so sorry you're having to deal with that.

Tomorrow morning…..

I’m sorry too Adam. That’s nuts…. but I don’t think this is a mouse. I think Rat.

[DrPat]

It's probably something bigger than a mouse.

The marten causes millions of dollars worth of damage every year in Germany.  I never heard of them until I moved here.

This is the most unfortunately hilarious rant I've seen here in a long time, LMAO!

[Appfaff]

It seriously is hilariously ridiculous.

And yeah, I’ve come to accept it’s probably a rat with as much damage as it has done - although I’ve seen field mice chew through concrete, so who knows they are capable of.

Is there a NIMH research facility in Alabama?

Hope it put a smile on your face. I used to watch his show every day when I was a kid,and was able to do the mouse.

@Appfaff this is the only way to be sure…

Meanwhile, here's the conclusion from the coding test saga.

I spent four or five days working on problems for a couple of companies. Since they were basically asking the same thing (download data from a website, and display it), I wrote a very generic solution, that could be extended. This is because I'm lazy, and developers generally lack imagination.

For those of you who're code monkeys, my app made heavy use of generics (templates for those who do C++) and abstract / virtual classes.

I got turned down by one of the companies today. The feedback was that I'm obviously very clever, but I didn't do what they were looking for.

My translation: We don't have a fecking clue what he was doing, so we don't want to hire him. (I find a lot of programmers don't really get the more abstract end of object oriented design.)
