Strange day...

...Started out as a dayshift. Nearly slept in, lots of noise through the night from the airport with jumbo's coming in Evergreen aviation, the cargo outfit the American military used during the summer to transport the dirty bombs to Isreal. Wonder if last nights racket had anything to do with Korea exploding their first nuclear device through the week?

Drove like a maddy to get to work on time.

Looking at the off duty, thanks to folk staying off sick who were supposed to be coming back but not bothering to let us know, we were really short on the N so, I did a short shift this am - 07.30-11.00 then came back on 23.00-0745, course that meant tomorrows D had to be changed into a N.
When I got in, the boss had been contacted and she came in to cover till I got there, which is a shame cos she never gets away at the right time anyway during the week, we realised that there was a knock on weffect at the begining of the week, so instead of N Sunday, I'm doing N Monday instead which works in better with my existing off duty. Got a nice thank you email from the boss for being flexible, but thats what being off a rota means to me, as long as a) it doesnt become a habit and b) people realise I can do that for emergencies which are unavoidable, c) I'll be fucked before I'll let myself be used to fill in for offduty some of the clowns in here dont fancy doing.

Of course I did more this afternoon when I got back to the van than I normally do when I'm rostered for nights. ie.
Did a washing.
Hung it out.
Made mushroom soup - from scratch.
Watched an old episode of Star Trek TOS. (The first part of The Menagerie).
Watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on DVD (again) and some of the extras.
Yes, he's definately doing Michael Jackson - and very well too.
Mopped up some remains of something Maisie had caught, played with, didnt eat but shredded and left lying over the kitchen floor. Thank you Maisie.
Took in the washing.
Emptied the litter tray. Dont know which is the worst. Emptying the tray or picking up body parts.
Went to bed for a couple of hours just dozed though, some bloody dog kept barking.
When the bloody dog wasn't barking, some bloody plane was coming in to land.
Or taking off.
Bastards.

Still, I'll get my reward in Heaven.
