Soft, mint green is my very favourite. It doesn't show up very well on white.

I like blues & greens equally well. All shades. All hues. I painted my kitchen a rich dark green but most everything else in it is blue & white. 🤣 I love your mint green, MJ!
 
I did something just for you guys 😁 😂

Headlining MJ's chicken news this morning..

Mary has laid her first post-broody egg. It's small and speckled.

Peggy is still unhappy about moulting, she has almost no appetite for proper food and suspected of eating feathers off the ground. This is not ok because she's not getting any supplementary enzymes. A trip to the vet may be necessary. Also, she's in an extremely tyrannical mood, which is understandable but hard on the others.

Janet does not have any blockages in her nose, she eats well and lays regularly.

Ivy has laid two post-brooding eggs already and is getting her third ready.

Is that scary? I'm confused. This is managing in a matrix. I have no direct authority over any of these people. This group has been dysfunctional for a while. By the time I leave they will understand that it is better and more efficient to work together.

For example, just this evening I got a proposed process from someone who had everything figured out. Or so they thought. They actually held meetings on the project that I am supposed to guide, without me. But not just without me, without other key people. Meetings I actually knew nothing about. No joke.

They submitted the results of their partial stakeholder meeting as final product. It took no time at all to show them what they had not considered because they had not included all stakeholders. I even shared something that knocked 5 steps out of their process including some bizarre manual gymnastics they created that were doomed to failure. No one in this group knows about what I shared with them. I do. They have no idea.

Right now I count 5 different little groups all doing what this person did, going off on their own. 4 more meetings like this and they will all want to be working together. No one has ever helped them to work as a team. I have to teach them that they need each other. I find a great way to do that is to let them fail on their own first. That way when they succeed together, it resonates.

The pain will create the gain. It delays things but in the long run they will be a much higher performing team when I am done.
