Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Yep, I sure would have replied back in writing - ie: "Thank you for approving my vacation time I requested, much appreciated; yes you are correct I do not 'go anywhere anyways' but we are all entitled to our vacation time, and for that I am extremely appreciative of your approving it. Please have a really splendid day, and again thanks! Sincerely, blah blah blah"

Just to ensure that the comments she is making are documented - FYI - I would also BCC my personal email just in case....

Making it upbeat and polite while acknowledging the comments she made, and showing your appreciation for the approval. It's really a backhanded slap you are giving her by being the better person replying in a positive and upbeat way. With a bit of a 'hidden contempt' for her statement she made

You are good at this. Then again, aren't you the one who snapped and quit on the spot one day?

Tax. A Sansa mug from days gone by.

You know the real problem with having a toxic manager is that replying back to them in writing and documenting all the problems is taking away from bgmathteach's work time. And likely spreading into her free time. Bad managers not only make life miserable for workers but they end up having non-productive workers because the toxic manager is causing them to take sick leave or spend too much time at work documenting bad behaviour or hiding away from the bully.

This is so true.

@bgmathteach is there anyway to not take her phone calls so you can force her to leave a voice mail which you could save? I have all my voice mails transcribed and sent to me automatically via email by my cell phone provider. That would provide written documentation of what she says.

Additionally, as she works in a state position, have you considered reaching out to your state legislator or the Inspector General?

I'm sorry but you have me riled up now.

I'm as mad as Glynda looks in this photo.

Happy Mugs Monday from Munchkin or Lil Bit, it is up for debate at the moment. 8 days old now. Well I said happy mugs but she is so tiny to get a mug you are getting a full body shot. It is the greyest or bluest black chick I have ever hatched out. Sent these pictures to the breeder just for assurance it is black. She assured me it is and it has proper hatch down color. Her blues are self blue or lavender and if it were blue it would be a pale creamy grey.

But I already promised Penne he was going there

She has enough, what with all those baby chicks running around in the secret garden, for at least 2 roos. Her mind is telling her she needs three - so - a Cholo esque, a Penne...and who will be the 3rd??????

Oh I did nothing except offer commentary from the sidelines.
@bgmathteach was the hero.

Your support and knowledge was invaluable! I couldn't have done it without you!

Yes. At least a dozen chipmunk chicks running everywhere.

Rain drops keep falling on my head….

More rain, so I let the whole gang splash around in the ponding.

Glynda has a look on her face that makes me think of her being up to something sneaky.

She usually is.
