Working from home

A good portion of my evening last night was spent trying to address a work issue from home.  Thanks to the wonders of remote control these sort of issues can normally be handled from home instead of spending late hours in the office.  The issue was a challenging one to correct, the type that makes you feel proud afterward knowing there was nobody else that was going to figure it out.  Luckily after hours work is something rarely required at my job, a pretty rare situation in the IT industry.

It seems like the chickens are slowly working out their pecking order and living arrangements.  Although Cindy still goes out to check on them, most nights they are now able to all get up on the perch to their preferred sleeping spots without much squabbling.  By the time our road trip rolls around next month the chicks need to be good to go since we won’t be there to break up fights.

It seems like Lucy has clearly made a choice as far as her social group within the new chickens, the black ones.  Lucy is pretty much always with the black hens throughout the day and runs in formation with them.  Her light brown color sticks out like a sore thumb in the group. The four “babies” are normally their own little clique although most of the four are rather independent and will often venture out solo from time to time.

I slept like shit last night, I couldn’t tell you how many times I woke up.  Right around 4:30 I was almost ready to just pop out of bed in frustration but thankfully I was able to catch a few more minutes of Z’s before the alarm went off.
