Just us chickens

When I showed up for the first day of my new job a month ago, my boss was standing in the lobby, waiting for me. “Oh good,” she said, “you're here. I have an errand to run. This is your office. Bye!”

So I'm used to being trusted in the office all alone. There are only six employees here. This week, two are on vacation all week, one is out with clients for three days, one is at his other part-time job, my boss is on vacation for half the week, and the remaining employee sits in a different part of the building. So she may or may not be here, I can't tell. So basically, it's just me. La la la.

I can run amok in my little government-agency office. Wooo! Duplicate copies for all! It's not nearly as exciting as it sounds. ;-)  And trust me, it's about as different from a newsroom as you can get. I guess it's kind of like Jim's office at home... except I don't have cats on my keyboard or puppies chewing my toes.

But it is 1:30 and I haven't sorted the mail yet. I'm such a rebel!!

Speaking of chickens, Jerry and I are talking about getting a few for eggs.

But not for wings and breasts, I hope.

Ugh--Sorting the mail.
That has started to be one of the tasks I don't enjoy. Most of it is junk mail anyway. But I have to go through it all.

No, no. Only for eggs. Once they get old and stop laying, we'll have some very pampered old chickens.
I don't think I have it in me yet to raise my own meat. Although, I like Barbara Kingsolver's attitude about it. She gave her animals very good lives and then when it was time, she ate them. And knew that they had never been abused, and had only been fed healthy food. But I'm not sure I can refrain from naming them.
