Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock
- Thread starter BY Bob
- Start date
Need to buy a ticket to win I am toldOh, what a great profile shot of Aurora's beard!!
We are documenting. I am going to have a discussion with the Union about the best way to proceed. There are some others who are very vulnerable that are afraid to speak up. I have offered to be the spokes person so they aren't targeted. Honestly - at this point if I get 'pushed out', it might just be a blessing in disguise considering the mental and emotional toll it is taking on me. I can always get a job at TSC...and I could then get my chicken feed at a discount!!!
My boss is still around because she is tight with, and protected by, a very powerful person in the College. My boss has ramped up the meanness - I think -because she is scared and is 'lashing out' because her protector is retiring. While they aren't formally retired yet - they are out 4 out of 5 days using up their vacation time prior to their official retirement date.
And, unfortunately, my boss is a few years younger than me, so no hopes of her retiring and giving me a few peaceful years prior to me retiring. What really floors me is her degree is an MSW - and some of the things that come out of her mouth! I am actually thankful she did not go into counseling!
Anyways, if push comes to shove & the college backs her - I will at least try to negotiate staying officially until my birthday in Dec. I do want the two very vulnerable people - who are excellent at their job and wonderful with the students - to be protected. Neither has tenure, so could easily be 'non-renewed' by the college with no justification needed. we have a new college president who started this month, and is supposedly intelligent, student centered, and a good listener. Lets hope that is the case. The one that retired 'let go; some great new hires (hired by her) because they turned out to be thoughtful people that could make their own determinations, and would put forth their own opinions (shame on them!) So, anyone who raised questions that contradicted the 'grand poohba's ideas were nixed.
I'm sure I have said this before - but: I have work here for 24 years. I used to LOVE going to work, and was proud to be working here. It has gotten to the point where sometimes I cry in the morning because I have to go to work. (especially on days that both I and my boss are on campus!) I can't afford to retire -most of my time here were non-benefitted positions - but health wise I can't afford to stay. The lotterys are having huge jackpots lately - maybe I should partake in ( as a former colleague called it) 'the poor man's retirement plan',
okay - I have no new tax pictures. I will try to take some when I get home from work tomorrow. Thank you for your positive energy, Bob!
I told the chooks I would get them more meal worms if I won.

Here is a mugshot from Bernie to wish you all a happy Mugshot Monday.
There is a whiff of brimstone about Tassels who also wishes you all a happy Mugshot Monday.
Oh Bernie your wattles and comb are astonishingly amazing
Such a beautiful lady you are.
Looks like she is sporting a nice beard and muffs (mutton chops for you
).It looks like she won’t have too much feathering on her legs/feet.
