Morning Nostriches!

Got another slow day in the loan mine coming. Both hubs & I have dr appts today so there will be a little breakup in the day.

Boss told me yesterday that she’s finally putting me in for a promotion that I earned 3 years ago, but it won’t come through until next year, and that’s only if I’m a good girl between here & there. Decided to spend more time working in the homestead as a result. At least that work is for me & I benefit no matter who approves.

GM. You won’t regret investing that time in you and your homestead.

I never do, but for some reason I occasionally prioritize that paycheck over my infrastructure and I don’t know why I make such a bad choice

Guilty of that myself on occasion. Just take each day as an opportunity to do it how you want.

Got plans forming in my head already for what’s going on this year. 1st up is the greenhouse!

I have a frame I need to use as well. Been holding onto it for two years and haven’t made the time. It’s time.

Yes it is! You could have kale in the yard right now

Plows are out.

That they are. Love winter. If you live too far south you miss this view

Morning☕😊. Yep, keep working toward your goals, it will pay off.

Yep. Definitely going to focus on the homestead more this year. That’s my life, the job is the side hustle. I keep forgetting that

GM have a great day

Morning Bird

Congratulations! 🎉

Yep - as of March of 2026 I’ll be in the exact same job but I’ll be designated as a IV instead of a III.

How infuriating. Sounds like a bribe to keep you from shedding their shackles. I just recently left a job and didn't get the harvest bonus. Apparently bonuses are not for work performed but are just an enticement to put up with future misery. Good riddance to them.

lol. I would if it wasn’t a fantastic job. I work from home, 4 weeks vaca, 2 weeks sick, pension, benefits, 401k. I really like the work too. Only thing that sucks is the advancement opportunities
