I hope!

Pray tell, just why are you aiming to get Abi to smack you to British Columbia?

 

[The Duck Ladie]

Can't, sorry. Besides at least half have crests.

Phooey. I'm guessing one of the parents is crested?

The Short Version that is nowhere near as funny as the real version if I could type more.
The new pullet rooster breed.... My husband coworker is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He recently met a girl "perfect" for him  .
She comes home with chicks from tractor supply unexpectedly. Last night before work Bill gets a text "Why are 3 chicks dead?" Bill asked me to please call him so he didn't have to go back and forth dealing with him all night. I felt like I walked into Jerry Springer episode   I asked what breeds she got "I got the 6 pack"...  "  Ok what kind of chicks were in the "6 Pack" and which ones died??? " Ummm 2 yellow fluffy ones, oh and she got a couple ducks and (as they are yelling back and forth at each other) and and some kind of batman chick and this little d*ckh*ad" pullet rooster..... "  "  I went over overheating, chill, "batmans" in with chicks and larger ducklings" what kind of housing, heat source & feed.... I gave up when I explained "pasty butt" and he said they didn't have it but then he is yelling at her "Check their a*ses for sh*t"    He concluded with "I think this chicken raising hobby might be too hard for us"    Whew!!!!

sounds like you might be getting a few more birds

Well, it was polite on both sides. After prayer I went into that meeting having already decided that whatever they did or didn't do I was going to look at my options career-wise. Riley said that he understood and agreed with my point. He would look into whether they could do anything. I am tried to assure me that they do value their employees blah blah blah. I submitted my first application after that meeting and three hours later had a job offer for three and a half dollars more per hour to start with a 50 cent raise after 90 days. Unfortunately, that one is a night position that I really don't want. I could consider it because you can move internally when there is an opening but I am not sure. I do like the fact that it is for 12 hour shifts with three days off. While it is not what I want, it was reassuring.

How am I doing?

very well

The conference I attended last week was actually at the USPS upper management training and team building facility in Norman, OK.

neat! did you get to tell them your thoughts?

@daxigait
Might have missed it on my readback but how did the meeting go? Or is it today? I get my days crossed up sometimes due to the fact that the majority of my readbacks are from the previous evening.

Options are good. Based on the work ethic you've discussed here I'm sure any employer would be grateful to have you and any prior employer would miss you dearly. Would the 4 days be set or a revolving schedule? Nights are extremely hard for some to adjust but thats what I worked for about the first 14-15 years of my military career. It was harder for me to adjust to a dayshift schedule.
