Gave my birds a new treat to try, and so far they haven't budged yet... it's still early, no worries.
Aren't they budgies?

Carla and I took a walk after the xmas gifts were dealt with and cleaned up.  On our walk, we went past a house with a "forget cats and dogs, spay and neuter liberals" alongside a "trump 2024" sign.  Couldn't help but, observe at least 5 empty cans of Bud light beer scattered around it.  hhhhhhmmmmmm  :apondering: must be a DWI offering to the wanna be maga-god himself!   :orly:   :lol1:

And I know who lives in said house!   ::)   :laugh:

My mum used to have a budgie named Cecil. He would say things like "What are you doing?" "Go the Bombers!" and imitate the sound of the oven door opening spot on. He also used to imitate other birds outside.

My first budgie Jack had a weird attraction to the color Yellow. The budgies I have now usually do their own thing sometimes singing, or even screaming like they're debating.

Wondering if the annoyances I observe in some new hires are similar to what I probably carry around.

I've wondered that about myself when new hires join my team at walmart.  I am trying to stay open minded...it's hard.

I've done enough night shifts to know that it ISN'T easy.  All you can do is do what it takes to get thru the shifts until your body makes the adjustments!

I once worked with a guy named Gary many years ago and he was the most intense person I've ever met. His nickname was Mr. Full-On.


As a sign of how hot it is, it's just past 10pm and the really loud sort of cicadas are still making a noise!

Haven't dealt with a resident who was self-aware before... though the guy did have a funny wit about him.

I'm nervous, uncomfortable, and discouraged... that's all that happens in this job isn't it? *sighs*
