Personal Services

Good news has been broadcast throughout the farming community. We have won a number awards for animal husbandry and livestock management. The roots of this success clearly lie in the extensive and sophisticated training we receive in these areas. As a mere shepherd, I managed to pass the "how to keep your sheep satisfied" module. We need to smile on the phone, which can be difficult if we are listening to a distressing personal story. We have to engage in "positive goodbyes" - apparently this is not the same as "good riddance". I did wonder if we were expected to take our duties a step too far when we were encouraged to ensure "smooth handoffs", bringing a new meaning to "pets corner". I understand we are also strong favourites for the Louis Armstrong Trumpet award. A blow to our competitors - make of that what you will.
