cjs: new team lead hyper focusing on helpdesk tickets and how many are open/pending. has now said he wants someone on the team to hand out tickets which is a bunch of BS. time to push back on this hard. we're not loving children and it's never been an issue with us picking up our own tickets when we want.

one of the metrics our department heads look at is first call resolutions, never mind that our ability to achieve a fcr is largely out of our hands and is often fouled by the user’s idiotic, vague initial emails.

yeah! we've told him multiple times, tickets are pending cause academics are busy and not always available. so we can't just close something after a few days. he just learned about our ticketing system and is hyper fixated on that poo poo. i feel bad cause the guy who was here previously took off (that's a whole other story, new manager hired last year was just ruining his life) so he couldn't learn about the role and what to do. but gently caress man, it's not this micro managing poo poo. our team is already discussing sending a note to our manager and even the union rep.

i secretly learned they were the 6th option since the first batch got another job as our manager was on vacation after they sent the job posting, one other guy declined so they were advised mark it as a failed find and repost - nope, just loving lazy

sorry to rant

c life s: brother and his coworker came by with a skidsteer and graded my entire back yard for 2 x 24's of coors banquet and some smokies for lunch. one neighbor was like, "can they do mine PLEASE?" and im real bad at saying no but i had to insist this was a special favor to me. plus they are an asphalt company - the guy just knows how to do this stuff too. this isn't their business but a little special perk for helping out friends.

i got to ride around in the thing too - it was 30C but thankfully these things have AC and radio, was fun times in that box.

crushing morale seems to be the way they're going. i've only had one position where the manager strictly assigned tickets and monitored every resolution and it was very oppressive and awful

We had to train our users out of the habit of pre-routing tickets to the person who used to handle them back when they were all emailing us directly and unfortunately none of them have been bold enough to complain about the resulting delays because the routing through the support tiers is SO loving SLOW

Can I feed my horse on lawn mower clippings and other garden waste?

NO! Feeding horses on lawn mower clippings can be very dangerous for several reasons. When lawn mower clippings are fresh they are fermenting (this is why they are warm or even hot when you put your hand inside a fresh pile of clippings). If a horse is given a pile of fresh clippings to eat he/she can gorge on them. As the clippings have been chopped up small (by the mower) the horse does not need to chew them and therefore swallows the clippings without mixing them with saliva (which is what happens when a horse chews its food normally). This means that the clippings arrive in the stomach already fermenting and without the benefit of saliva to ‘dilute’ them (in the normal situation grasses that are eaten by the horse do not start to ferment to this extent until they are much further along in the gut). The gases given off by the fermenting clippings can expand to the point that they rupture the stomach (which is fatal). If the clippings do not cause rupture of the stomach, they can result in colic (abdominal pain) due to complications further down the intestinal tract.

Horses are particularly susceptible to poisonous plants, and in this situation to a high level of gas build up in the stomach, because they have a one way valve on the stomach that prevents vomiting (or even burping). If a human or a dog were to find itself in this situation they would be able to bring the offending food back up or at least bring the gas back up and relieve the pressure. A horse cannot do this.

When a horse eats lawn mower clippings they may also eat plants that they would otherwise avoid (because they are poisonous etc.) but because they have been chopped up with other more palatable plants the horse cannot detect them. Additionally the lawn may have been sprayed with chemicals which the horse will then ingest along with the clippings.

Likewise garden waste (such as prunings from bushes and trees) can be dangerous unless you know for certain that they are not poisonous.

If your horse lives in a paddock that has suburban properties adjoining then be aware that the property owners may be dropping clippings/garden waste over the fence on a regular basis. It is usually a good idea to ‘double fence’ in such an area. A simple electric fence several feet to the inside of the perimeter fence may be enough. Post notices asking people to not feed your horse/s. Chat to neighbours about the risks and ask them not to drop any garden waste over the fence. In many cases people think they are doing your horse a favour and once the dangers are explained to them they will stop doing it.
