Score! :yesss: I got two sand boxes and a slide for $10! The chickens will love the sand boxes.
Do you poke holes in the bottom of the sand boxes for drainage, or are they in a covered area?
Did I show you guys the baby quails that hatched? View attachment 1877057
Adorable!! They're such tiny peanuts.

Morning.

Coffee is ready.

We had loud hail last night. I am waiting for light to see how much damage it did to the garden.
:fl We had drizzly rain here yesterday.. the birds didn't seem to mind. It's not been like last year where everything was so damp that I had mold growing in the runs, but it's not dry.
 
Applied for a job at a college. There's some things I'd have to learn, but most of it is stuff I already do here. I got an email from our union about the negotiations.. Admin came with a "significant" increase for new employees and a 1% yearly raise. AYFKM? That's like 14 cents an hour & it doesn't say what happens to the rest of the scale, just refers to "new". 1% = $5 a week. No. I'm glad I started applying for a new job already. I talked to a lady here who said the place is going to fall apart when I leave. She's going to keep me updated about the fallout. of course that was just the first few negotiations and there is more to come, and I know that they start out low and expect to give in, but holy carp that's low.
The guy who basically taught me the foundation for everything I know is letting me use him as a reference which is great. He's fairly well known around the IT circles around here. He worked for our regional & did a lot of training in our little corner of the state for years.

1% is very insulting. :hmm

Do they seriously think anyone would be :celebrateabout that amount??

I went 5 years with no raise. :rolleyes: then was given a whopping $1 an hour raise after I pushed hard. Seriously that is like getting a 20 cent raise each of those 5 years.
Then I overheard a conversation a new person was having with their spouse.....she was getting paid the same as me with zero experience. :mad:

I totally understand where you're at with that job. Better things are out there. :hugs
