Love all the chook talk and pics.
Glad they are settling in well.

How's my girlA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Today's chicken news:
No. of chickens who went to bed inside the coop = 9 :T
No. of eggs = 1 (Miss B (not Beryl))
I didn't see the newbies today
I had to pop out in my lunch hour to buy some more chicken feed - I forgot how much more chickens eat when they're eating their food rather than my garden!
Work was dull today. I was counting down the hours from mid-morning... :rotfl: 17 days to payday, 44 days to my holiday

Today's news:
- Had my final performance review of 2012 and overall rating of 4 confirmed - my line manager said that he couldn't discuss bonuses or pay increases and then promptly told me that I should get an increase in the region of 4% :T
- No news yet on when I'll get a career development plan... I've only been in this job 3 years... if it wasn't so:(:(, I'd :rotfl:
- Decided that I might have better luck climbing the career ladder if I transfer to a different one! Not sure how easy that will be in practice but it's a better fit for my job description and I've already registered for a project management training course in May
- 3 eggs today - a white one, a green one and a brown one
- Miss LRH, Miss Beryl and Miss Gladys are OK

Great news on increase and good feedback. Re changing career - well, I've been working for over 30 years and am still working out what I want to do (apart from retire).

Early retirement is tempting GG
I'm quite well paid for what I do so, rather than stress about career progression/development and take on extra responsibilities, I suppose I could always sit on my backside and do the bare minimum :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Can I ask an egg related question? We found a strange egg today which looks like an egg with all of the pigment taken out of it. We think it came from one of the copper blacks. Could this be a first egg?Slow progress is better than no progress.
