Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

“Kelly, you should have called me. I may be small, but I have a big painful bite. And I can smell out a lousy business associate from miles away!”
“Before daddy took me from that awful home to where I live now, they called me (The Butcher)!” View attachment 3301261

Oh Jaffar you are a treasure

Now you hire a lawyer and sue for hostile workplace environment. Blacken their name. Name the HR manager personally.

It's time for revenge.

Yep - I may talk with my BILs lawyer about this. It's harder here to do that sort of thing. But seeing as how I have ranted about this to you and Kris for all summer I can prove I have been tracking it...



BTW - love that fluffy butt and the spots, she has an awesome tail

View attachment 3301138View attachment 3301137View attachment 3301135Storm is almost as bad as Nellie was....or does this mean she has more feathers ...?

View attachment 3301136Hector is getting to be almost as much of a poser as Cheetah. I find it fascinating that his breast feathers are almost a matte black while the rest are a glossy black.

View attachment 3301139Twirp has lost a few wing feathers, but still looks sleek and graceful. Is she living up to her name and making moulting look good?

View attachment 3301140Horus is finally starting to get the top flag tail feathers. He's growing those slowly, but he seems to have slowed down a little on the hormones too. (Only a little). He is a little taller than his daddy, but not much as the difference between a hamburg and a leghorn roo is about half a pound. Comparing all the boys next summer could be interesting.View attachment 3301141Silver is still working on those new tail feathers also. How she managed to NOT lose them last year I don't know, but I'm glad she's taking care of it now.

View attachment 3301142View attachment 3301144Pear still has down popping out in all kinds of random places, but has new feathers showing too. She has a tendency to stay in the coop or vanish, going off by herself and turning up in the coop before dark. She did this last year too and I have yet to figure out where she goes.

View attachment 3301146Whiskey is looking to be almost as broad as Hector, showing some of the Buff Orpington size in his background (maybe a quarter).

View attachment 3301151
Repeat pic, Kren is smaller than Whiskey, so remains to be seen if he will develop to similar stature.

View attachment 3301143And Thing has a whole mass of new feathers growing in her crest, so will be getting another trim in another month or so. Kren is fascinated with her too, but caught her yesterday refusing to lift her tail up no matter how many times Kren tried. Hormones are cooling, but still have a ways to go.

They are gorgeous. What breed is Pear?

Jaffar is feeling better (no coughing or sneezing) but I’m tired (no sleep at all last night)

That's great news!

Conclusion

OK - so about 3 weeks ago I sent notice I was going to take vacation this week as long as the weather was nice. I got the usual push back - we need to know for sure blah blah blah - I told her plan for me being away - if I am not you can adjust I am sure. I need to do some caulking and clean the eves trough and other 'warm weather' work that did'nt get done in the summer like I wanted!

Then on Wednesday last week I started emailing the Proj Managers to let them know the coworker would be the contact during my vacation. Coworker set up a teams meeting to chat with my on Thursday (of course at the end of the day - why not! she knows when I leave), I didn't notice she also invited the hr dir. Oh and guess who worked from home on Thursday (OMG!).

So Thursday we started chatting about the tasks and reviewing were stuff was and HR Dir pops onto the session (oh great), then coworker asked about the fleet vehicles, I told her not to worry that was all Proj Manager X who had them all, of course HR Dir had to ask 'is it up to date?" I felt my pulse going up and BP just climbing, but I told her as far as I know it is up to date - you know the guys, and I don't have time to babysit them. There are more important things.

Well she started going on about it being up to date, I should know blah blah blah, so on and so forth. I told her "Stop going on about the fing spreadsheet, it's fing up to date for f sakes, you need to stop this badgering me and fixation on the spreadsheet'.

She said - it needs to be kept up to date....

Thats when I flipped out and told her 'I am disconnecting from this meeting I am not discussing this with you any further, I have important things to tell coworker and you are wasting my time, let me know when you wish to discuss more important things'. And I disconnected and went and hid in the bathroom to calm down. It's the Executive bathroom mable sink top... nice - and messy with drywall mud everywhere from construction. So I cleaned the bathroom hahaha.

Then I went back to my desk finished my work and went home.

Friday morning I was going to chat with the CFO but he was out all day, around 3:10 he popped by to 'have a chat' - good I thought.

Nope there was HR Dir in the room also (WTH ) If he wanted to talk with me he should not have the instigator there inflamming things! Any HR dept knows that - apparently this HR Dir is a dumba$$.

Anyways I gave my spiel and said I apologize for swearing.

Then she started in on the spreadsheet being updated.....


I just lost it, I told her she was fixated on the spreadsheet, a micro-manager who should concentrate on her own job, but when she said I only gave them 3 days notice for my vacation I about stormed out, I told her check your emails I let you know back the end of September.

Well then she said 'there have been complaints with Travel'.... Well I about had a stroke right then and there, I can really understand how a worker can go postal and do horrible nasty things to others. Thankfully I have a wee bit of common sense - though not lots it seems.

So I had to swallow, I took a deep breath and I smiled WOW how does one go from total fury to calm in 1 second? I told them - 'ok give me 30 seconds - I will be back, just 30 seconds'.

I went to my desk meeting the PMO Director on the way who wanted to discuss a real serious issue with me - I had to tell him 'Can I see you in a few minutes? I am with Paul'... I got my cellphone and security badge (oh that was another thing I started tracking that no one was tracking <i am grinding my teeth>), calmly walked back to the office and laid them on the table.

Paul looked confused and asked 'are you giving notice?'

"Yep sure am apparently I am a horrible worker, so you need to hire someone else who fits the bill. I will finish doing the stuff you interrupted me with, then I shall go home."

So I went to my desk and started finishing up stuff, but they came and told me 'you have to leave now'.

OK no problem - I am sure coworker knows how to do my job also seeing as how she did such a bang-up job before I was hired and when I was sick (not!).

The CFO escorted me to the door, where I said to him 'you know Paul I would never sabotage anything'.

He said 'its not that'

I looked at him and said 'yep sure, I worked in business a long time, bye Paul.'

And I walked to my car and freaked out. I should have just shut my face, said yea ma’am how high ma’am and stayed the plan for a quiet quit!

(Bob - Now I will never know if buddy made his connection at LaGuardia

The End

Now to find something else that pays the bills.

I must say something! You did all that you could do, to keep your cool. They were wrong with cornering and harassing you. That place doesn’t deserve a hard working honest person like yourself!
