Yes he does. He's offer to replace them before, but I can't is good conscience have him fire have the work force because of me. The entire office is only 4 people and that is why it is so bad.

I think he'd be better off keeping the worker that suits his business image.

That is very kind-hearted of you but in my experience if they are awful to you they are likely not great with the patients and may end up being awful to whoever replaces you and maybe to each other too.
I think the doctor would be better off for his practice having good staff who care about his patients. You would be doing him a favor to stay and help him find people to replace them.

Ditto! This is just what I wanted to say but RC said it better. As usual

Gloriana is inside again tonight.
She is not herself.
She was out & about with her tribe & staying with them but not foraging. She'd just plop down & doze off.
She had a bit of feed & yoghurt tonight but not a lot & her poops are gross; a mix of solid & watery.​

Mary had similar poops recently after the antibiotics and now she's on something called Inside Out (they all are), which is a probiotic. It's made a big difference. I think there's roughly another week of it and then she has a follow up appointment. Might be worth a try? I've been mixing a half teaspoon into 2 cups of wet food, shared between the four hens.

The short story is the government is paranoid. They've made some really bad calls, like the cane toad, which has devastated huge areas of Northern Australia & is now moving south.

Although the Brits brought rabbits & foxes to the US also, you guys have native species which prey on them. We do not. Introduced species, both flora & fauna, have had a hugely negative impact on native species. The Aboriginal people exterminated the Tasmanian Devil & other species on Mainland Australia with the introduction of the dingo ~though that theory is now being questioned. However the ecological balance in most places is so delicate the utmost precaution needs to be taken. I know other countries think it's mad but we have lost thousands of species naturally [think bushfires] without risking contamination from outside sources.

I read yesterday that the first Tasmanian Devils for thousands of years are breeding in the mainland as a result of a reintroduction program. Is that true?

I have heard that there have been unconfirmed sightings in Victoria but I've not heard of reintroduction.
As far as I know they are still trying to stabilise the population in Tasmania which has been badly affected by infectious face cancer.

Good evening everyone

It is for this very reason that I am looking at making a career change myself.

I absolutely love the doctor I work with and the patients are wonderful, but my 2 coworkers are just so unhappy and miserable in their own lives that they bring me down to depressive levels. I've tried to just ignore them and do my job and be done with it, but I just can't any longer.

The final straw was when Rich was sick. Not once did either of them reach out to me. When I returned I was greeted with attitude and ignored. Never one did they ask how Rich was. I realize life is too short to be somewhere where you are unhappy.

I'm so sorry it has come to this, but you need to do what's best for you

I can't answer for the rules, because it's well outside my knowledge, but they might be worried about packaging as well as the eggs? The people who oversee imports know eggs are a special case and have specific rules covering eventualities.

I think the primary driver is the protection of native plants and wildlife, but a significant secondary driver would be the economic benefit in terms of tourism, which pre-covid was in the billions. I once saw a tourist's face light up at his first glance at a wallaby in the wild, he was over the moon!

I want to be one of those star struck tourists one day!

 

[CrazyChookChookLady]

Once you make that decision it's usually over. I'm sorry it has gotten to this point.

It's been a thought for a while now.

I found a position closer to home and still in the science field. I'm also a bit burnt out with direct patient care, so a change is needed all the way around.
