Yay SUE!
I thought I learned* that you scare mountain lions away by making yourself look as big as possible, like having a billowy King of Pain coat -- or, even better, a cape! -- and therefore intimidating.
*Please note, I learned this from The Simpsons, which is not considered a first-line source of education.
Thanks all.
What the hell am I going to do with myself now? I'm going to have to get a real job!!

Cries.
Don't talk like that.
I know. It's scary. (Actually I have a "real" job. I just need a non-soul destroying one.)
So, when the loudspeaker beeps and security keeps saying, "Attention. A small mountain lion the size of a coyote has been seen in the East Lot. Please use caution," what the frig are we supposed to do?
When it is time to leave, encourage slower and smaller coworkers to head out first. If possible, rub or festoon them with raw meat first. Then, when they are screaming in terror and the cat takes them down, run like hell to your car. Or wait until they are consumed and saunter slowly, since the cat will be in a food coma.
Maybe we could just toss them loaves of bread. I mean, they've been on a lifetime atkins diet. Won't the carbs take them down, immediately?
And miss an opportunity to rid yourself of more annoying employees?
Ooh, if there is a larger, faster and more annoying coworker, you can go tell him how sweet the kitties are and how they loooove when people hand feed them caf food and you would but you are allergic and won't they please take pity on the poor kittycats?
When it is time to leave, encourage slower and smaller coworkers to head out first.
Wouldn't that be Allyson?
What's plan B?
