17 Apr Silly Geese
Nick Schmidt: “A goose management service came to get rid of the geese. They didn’t stay gone.”
Last week, the Loveland office’s favorite all‑season attraction, the neighboring pond, reached its most dramatic chapter yet. Known for previous window‑side spectating and at least one spirited debate about its true depth, lunch hour took a turn when a goose management service arrived with a dog, a laser pointer, and a clear mission. Within minutes, the scene had become a literal, full‑blown wild goose chase.
Reactions across the office were mixed. Max Keeley fondly recalled past bird friendships, while others were reminded of earlier, more Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds‑style encounters—such as when a bird infiltrated the office and Steve Goessling had to fend it off with “his” jacket.
While we know the geese can’t stay forever, their triumphant return this week was met with more excitement than expected. At Choice One, we genuinely enjoy spending time with our coworkers—including the ones that honk. What can we say? We’re just a bunch of silly geese.
