A graphical representation of the end of my career as a precious metal surface finishes manufacturing engineer. The line is completely emptied out. Time to move on...

What are you hatching?

Red sex link/ black jersey giant and Delaware/black jersey giant

Can I have a table for 1?

No! You can join any of us at a table. We are all friendly here but sometimes, you will have to brew another pot of coffee. I've got this one. Help yourself!

You guys... An egg in my incubator just started moving I need a coffee to calm down my nerves and maybe a donut

Breath! Wait until you see your first broody hatch! That was the most fun I've had all year... Oh. Does that make me pathetic?

Welcome to the Café to you both!!

You're not pathetic at all (at least not in this group)

 

[FortCluck]

I just watched my eggs for an hour until 1 moved!!!! I'm probably pathetic too, we can be pathetic together

You remember what an overexcited dork I was about it... spying on the little family all day with the brooder cam and posting all those pictures. But I did get a few good ones. I still love the first greeting and the one with two of the chicks standing on Barb's feet with the rest of their bodies stuffed inside her belly feathers! The look on Barb's face was, "what are you looking at?"

Heck, I thought it was exciting and they weren't even my chickens or chicks!

DL, NFC, Sour.... Hugs for all that ails you! A comforting one, a warm one, & a healthy one.

Thanks, Roomy!
I'll get my head around it soon enough. Coffee will help.

It's weird how a job can get under your skin and become a part of you Dobie. When it came time for me to leave my 33 year job at a health insurance company, I cried. Even when I was doing the crying, I felt dumb about it. But jobs become part of our lives and the people we spend so much time with become our friends (or sometimes fren-emies).

Leaving one part of our lives behind, even if we're excited about making a change, is hard.

But people do it and once the strangeness wears off, everything is ok. People are more adaptable then they often realize.

I agree! I've been through this more than once but this is the longest I've been at one career and I've made lots of friends here. I'll miss them.
We have plans to try to stay in contact but the reality is we will slowly drift apart. That's just what happens.
