A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

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
). A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

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.
