Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Ice cream?? Just kidding.

Yep I also told her as she got older she would learn how to deal with people who belittle. And might even learn to tell them off

No one should ever be allowed to belittle anyone in the workplace.

Period!

No company anywhere should tolerate this.

Period!



That manager would never work in my organization and I would make it my personal job to make it difficult for them to work anywhere they might manage anyone.

They surely are determined. Crazy ladies.

I do love your videos!

They are awesome! She says more in a video than I do over a dozen written posts.

I showed mine over and over. Put their beaks in it, etc. No takers yet.

You have to lick it, and make sure that they see you do it! (I’d kinda like to see that too)

Fluffy Butt Friday

Finally able to put my feet up and check all my BYC friends online. Today at work I consoled a young lady who is a robotics programmer having issues with the ‘good ol boys club’, I caught her bawling her eyes out in the bathroom. I know well the project manager with whom she is having issue, only differences is I can tell him to you know what, after all I am pushing 60 and I worked in a man’s world a very long time, poor young lady less than a year! What are they gonna do ? Fire me? Likely not!

So we went and sat in the Big Blue Truck I gave her some advice on ‘look at your job as a stepping stone’ not where you will end up. We laughed over the fact I was missing a meeting with my HR mngr and a vendor (sweet!).

And then we went back inside because sitting in the Big Blue Truck when it’s 80F outside is very hot!!! All this got me thinking about how privileged I was growing up, I had a father who encouraged my sister and I to do everything and not to be limited by supposed gender based jobs! Imagine back in the 70s and early 80s one’s father telling his daughter learn all about computers they are they way of the future! Smart man my dad

Now some fluffy butt tax

I agree, your dad was smart. I told my daughters they could be or do whatever they wanted to. Both are strong and smart young ladies. Super proud that today is move in day for my youngest. She has been working night and day getting her house ready. She has a list of chores for me which gives me a good excuse to visit next weekend.

Update on the blind chicken. She has adopted a lone chick that is a bit younger. The chick will talk to the blind pullet to keep up so they don't get separated. I will try for a video. I also have a juvenile rooster who courts and tries to mate with his waterer.

New Ventilation

It is going to be super hot here this weekend so i added a fan to blow through the Cluckle Hut and cool the Rascals especially at night. I mounted it in the run so it blows the run's cooler shaded air through the coop and not the hot air from outside.

I can feel the breeze when I stand at the window on the outside. I think this will work well for them.

How did the new ventilation work out Bob?

It seems to be working very well so far. You can see feathers moving in the breeze and much less panting. It has to be working pretty well.

Thanks Marie, I have found given a chance most people are decent. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt at least twice!

I say twice but it's usually 3 times then they have had it their chips with me, not all but the majority of those kind of people

Yes there are more good people than bad and some have their off days but in the end they can come around and be caring through the bad times. I understand their are physical and mental issues and their mood swings can have an affect on their behaviour. In saying that I can't take all people that are antisocial

People that lack empathy very cold selfish and manipulative they are a no no in my life.
The old me would give them non stop chances today I keep my distance and let them know I've have had it with them and to keep well away from me

I'm saying all of above because I've had on going disturbances such as my sleep being broken at 3am for months on end plus having foul smoke penetrating my home, my neighbours have had that smoke to.
This became an issue for me big time when it seriously started too affect my dog during his illness. Several times I tried to reason with this person as it was sickening too me but imagine how bad it is for a dog trying to breathe...

Agatha spent her last few days here with that odour. This same person verbally attacked me 3 times over the past 4 years once complaining about my running my tap when it was a neighbours home that at that time had boiler and pipe problems. He howled at me for months and didn't apologise when he found out it wasn't my home at all...
The last time was the night before flexi died. Believe me that was the last time he'll ever have that opportunity of my being a caring neighbour to him.

There are times like it or not you have to stand your ground. So I told this person how cold selfish and childish they were. They threw a bunch of lies at me, repeating what they had said about a previous person that lived here, so now I believe that those complaints were highly likely too be as untrue as the accusations he made against me

There was something good that came from this last outrage of his, that smoke is much less and he hasn't woken me up once since. But I'm still very wary of how volatile person is and I'm concerned he could be potentially dangerous. The fact of no apology for every wrong attack makes me worry

I'll put bets on it that, that you are correct $$$$
