MJ's little flock

Exactly. He's a jerk.

My husband works with a guy like that, who’s in IT. He can’t stand him.

Good evening MJ

Hello it'll get done.

Rant ahead...

It's because I'm at a weird stage in my professional growth where the profession believes in me and puts me forth for interesting and challenging responsibilities like responding to govt rfc but my workplace is not adequately funded so the push downwards onto staff workloads is hefty. Also the bloke who does our workloads is a systems thinker, not a humans thinker. He's ambitious too. And I've heard him speak the most vile hatred of other people who've fallen foul of systems eg robodebt victims, single mothers, people claiming the dole etc (he didn't know I was in the room next door when he was talking to his crony). Typical that he wouldn't even conceive of a single father or that maybe someone needs the dole if their manufacturing employer closed down and they don't have a new job yet. He's a nasty combination. I'm pretty sure he won't be in a position of power over me much longer.

It seems there's always at least one like that around, thankfully they don't seem to last long. Hoping his tenure is very short

Let's not give him another moment of our thoughts.

Instead let's think of our little chookies I'm away from home today and they'll be sad and cranky for being kept in the henhouse. I'll be home before dark though, so I can let them out to play for an hour or so before roosting.

And we're almost out of pellets. I must get some more on Saturday.

I have no respect for people like that and yet I pray that bad fortune never strikes them. They could not handle it. No matter your status and wealth we ALL need help in some way at some time. Perhaps someday his eyes will be opened but I fear I doubt it will ever happen.

Sometimes justice wins.

Exactly. He's a jerk.

Very succinctly put if I may say so, although a bit too polite.

Cor, you're lucky then. In the UK they end up as politicians.

That's what I like. Someone who has their priorities straight.

Lack of empathy and compassion is an ugly look...

Actually a bit of bad fortune might do him good. He might learn some empathy.

Chooks!

Alice's little coat seems to be doing the trick.
When I have time to sit with them a while tomorrow I will let her go "naked" so that she has a chance to preen her back . After locking Tsuki up for the duration of course!
