My wing swelled up and I could not even type. Now I am stuck in bed. It's not too bad. Everyone is being nice and I get good drugs for the pain.

And everybody wrote on it:

This office environment is going to kill me. When is June 9? I get to go back to the prairie then. Wait. I have a calendar on my desk.
Two weeks! I can't stand it!

Notice Of Suspension
Date Effective: May 20, 2008
Employee Name: Prairie Penguin (“Pengy”)
Employee Position: Staff Blogger
Details leading to suspension:
On May 17, this employee teased a meadowlark (the state bird of his location) and as the fight escalated, an out-of-control cow charged unexpectedly. The result was the death of the meadowlark and injury to the cow (a 1-year old heifer), who unwittingly charged into a tree.
Employee Response:
I didn’t see the tree or the cow and also the meadowlark started it. But I’m sorry he’s dead. But it’s not like I killed him. The cow killed him. I also sprained my wing in the whole deal. My left wing.
Plan:
Having had repeated problems, Pengy is hereby assigned to desk duties at the ChewMouse.Com offices until Monday, June 9, 2008. He is also responsible for the one-hundred dollar fine for the killing of a state bird. He will be re-released onto the prairie on Tuesday, May 10, 2008 at 0800.
Should he refuse this plan of action, Pengy will be flown home as soon as a flight can be arranged.
Employee Response:
I’ll do the desk job thing. I can’t type, I don’t have fingers. I also have this hurt wing. My left wing. I don’t have $100.00 and I did not kill that bird. That bird teased me every single day. But I did not kill him, the cow killed him. But I’ll do what you say.

I got my block of ice...I LOVE IT! Now I can stand on the prairie and the coldness goes from my flippers to my feathery skull. They put it on a small pond here so I can float around. The cows all nodded and mooed. Maybe they care. Could that be? Could those cattle actually understand how much this means to me?
You won't believe this...I believe I might be happy!

Here I am floating on a prairie pond.
79 degrees Fahrenheit and I am still
cool as can be! It's a miracle!
