Actually, Mr KK was vaguely suggesting that we got some Pygmy goats at one point, to help keep the grass down. I have STRONGLY vetoed this suggestion! 😂Brie said:Wow - you make me feel quite lazy in comparison. I don't think I am really but just not as good as being as reflective as you. Quite agree with the fact you had a hard year and join you in hoping for a year with less on the funereal side of any sort.
Did enjoy a slight misread towards the end although at first I was a bit mystified by you wanting some more structured goats. Proof of how bad my eyes are at times!!

Just tell him that goats will eat everything and anything, including all of his mechanical stuff. That'll stop any more silly talk.KajiKita said:

What a year KK!
I do want to reiterate that you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong at work - your boss was an absolute menace, and none of what happened was your fault. So please don't carry that with you into the new year.
Hope 2025 is easier for you xx3 -
and once again I cried for Flower and George and for you. Miss my George (Mrs Brady). Loved the garden update.

Realistically there’s a fair chance that a goat would eat the canvas!! 😱😳😂😂😂😂Brie said:

They are 😊 But neither of us would really have the time to look after a goat, which wouldn’t really be fair on it.WelshmansDaughter said:Pygmy goats are very cute, I am with mr kkKKAs at 15.10.25:

On the one hand, I understand what you are saying. But there is always something to learn in these situations.I can see now, with a bit more perspective, that I didn’t explain myself well enough, didn’t tell my boss what I was actually working on. I know it wouldn’t have changed the outcome, but, and this is an important one for me, I would have felt a bit more in control and a little less like ‘prey’ - I’ve been in a similar dynamic with a male boss before, who was as cold as a shark … Repeating patterns like this need to be understood otherwise they recur and recur. I don’t want that.KKAs at 15.10.25:

I won’t lie … I got wobbly too as I typed that … 😢 Poor little cats …redofromstart said:and once again I cried for Flower and George and for you. Miss my George (Mrs Brady). Loved the garden update.
Reviewing the garden was nice. I had done better, had more flowers, had more produce than I remember at this time of year. I need to celebrate more as I pass through the year in 2025. 😊
Tell me more about the goat ‘that got away’ …? 😉😊
