rusty hinge

my plan for today was simple:

work work and work..

there should be four of us at excavations 

plus our boss

but others have yet to come

meaning - i have to do job of four people

to manage 3 different excavation sites 

(with a little help of my boss)

take all the pictures

make all the sketches

write all the data myself

so.. you get the idea

busy days at site

and busy afternoons by the computer

..

so.. i had a plan for today

plan to finish all the documentation from past week

..

but then the sound woke me up 

in the middle of the night

sound of the rusty hinge 

repeating every couple of seconds

one rather annoying sound

..

so i spent the rest of the night

trying to figure out what makes that sound

where the damn hinge is

..

then i spent half of the day

trying to figure out what makes that sound

found no rusty hinge

nor anything similar

..

by the early afternoon

my brain decided that the sound is produced by an owl chick 

(why owl? beats me.. 

my brain works in strange ways)

so i spent the rest of afternoon 

trying to prove that theory

listening dozens of different owl chick squeaks 

..

then i found it

sound of the long eared owl

that's what's bothering me for hours

..

then i tried to locate the loud fella 

and,  miraculously, i found not one, but two of them..

i tried to photograph them

and, miraculously, my boss forgot his fancy camera when he left home for weekend

so i snapped a few close-up shots

..

it's bedtime

job is still unfinished

'cause i dedicated my entire day to ridiculous quest

and, no matter how cute little feather balls are

sound is still annoying

..

is someone gonna help me

to see what's the moral of this story

i'm too tired of squeaks to do that myself
