Workplace Hazard: Beware of Black Bear in Lot A

[Redbelly98]

Where'd you get that arrow?

There's a whole list of arrows and other symbols you can copy-and-paste,
somewhere here on PF. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll come across somebody
with a sig that links to the list.(←subtle clue!) Sorry I can't be of more help.

Ha, ha, bloody ha!



I hope you realize that I had no idea what the hell you were on about until I put on my reading glasses, which I don't normally wear while on the computer. Your link is usually just a blurry little line to me.

That's crazy. The worst I had to deal with were large flocks of attack geese. They would block the sidewalks and if you tried to walk through them, they'd bite you.

Worse I've had is a flock of Hare Krishnas; I guess I live a sheltered life. (BTW, in the case of Hare-Krishnas, the singular of flock is f..

Anyway: how about carrying some food with you that you can throw near the bear to keep him busy?

It is a normal workday in Canada, and I just received this email

Hello,

Please be advised there is a large black bear between the NSC and the Administration building. It has just ran into the forest area beside the Administration building.

Please us caution and be aware of your surroundings when walking on campus.

My daughter and I were walking around campus earlier today, mainly inside, but we spent a little time outside. I get off/wait for the bus beside the administration building.

First bear at work of the season:

Please be aware there is a bear near the entrance to the Northern Sport Centre. Please use caution when walking around campus and be aware of your surroundings.

Regards,
Facilities Management

This one showed up a bit early this year.

First bear at work of the season:

Wow. I like this . I'm a very curious person and I'll be 100% honest with you. I receive and email like that and I want go to the place to see it in person (with friends of course). I've never seen a bear. If I was your working partner I would tell you: "Let's go see it!" But from the distance. Don't tell my mom though, that we went to see a bear. The consequences of she getting word of it could be catastrophic.

And then I would brag: I saw a bear!

Second bear at work this season,

There has been a bear sighting on the road beside Daycare. Please use caution at all times when walking around campus as there are not only bears but also moose on the trails and in the bush surrounding the campus. Please take the time to visit the WildSafe BC site at https://wildsafebc.com to learn more about reducing the human-wildlife conflicts that occur when unprepared. Thank you

This is where I work. The city is off the bottom of the picture, down a a large hill.

Third bear report at work this season,

There has just been a sighting of two bear cubs on the trail near Daycare so the mother bear will also be nearby. Please use caution at all times when walking around campus as there are not only bears but also moose on the trails and in the bush surrounding the campus.

I posted the picture above to indicate why we get wildlife wandering into our campus.

Fourth bear report at work this season,

There is a large bear that has been frequenting the area of the recycling bins in Parking Lot A and the NSC. This bear shows absolutely no fear of humans; the conservation office have been contacted.

I received this email just as I was about to go out for a walk on a route that would have taken me between Parking Lot A and the NSC!

George, is there an unusual number of bears on campus this year? Or are they early? Or both numerous and early? My husband and I were just talking about how this year's warm winter might affect wildlife -- more specifically, wildlife we have to be concerned about while hiking.

Down here in Washington, we've lost most of our snowpack already. It's going to be a dry summer - I don't even want to imagine what the end of August will look like .

Fourth bear report at work this season,<Snip>

Yes, but it is a _Canadian_ bear. If you invade his personal space, or go near his/her cubs, the bear will, at worse, growl: "good day, sir!", then will apologize for being so rude to you and give you a maple -glazed donut.
