First Day Back - Again

I really like having 12 days off. Yes I was bored by the end of it as I had no one to spend the time with all the time, but the sheer fact that I wasn't at work made it nice. Today back at work I was bored after just a couple of hours. Not a good sign. We have no more information about transferring over to the new company, but they want us ALL to attend a meeting on Tuesday morning about the TUPE process. Quite how they expect ALL of us to attend is beyond me as someone has to man the fort! As it is some of the guys are staying on from their night shift (meaning an extra 5 hours at least on top of the 12 hour shift!). I am off that day, my first of my next 12 day holiday stint, and I really do not want to go, but my boss asked for a favour. As the meeting is just down the road from me (even closer than work), and the fact that others are giving more of themselves (the aforementioned night shift people), I begrudgingly agreed to attend. It better be worth it. None of us are getting paid for our time (except my boss who is working then anyway, so he gets time of work when everyone else has to give their own time freely!!!).
Anyway enough about that place, I have three more shifts (plus this meeting thing) and then I am off for a 12 day stint again, during which London Pride takes place. I shall have to start bullying people to ensure they attend.

One other thing has annoyed me today:
I had to delete my music selections as none of the songs would play due to "licencing laws" in my country apparently! How annoying. You would think that the bigger artist would be able to afford it and the smaller ones would appreciate the exposure! So I apologise to anyone who is missing my musical selections, I know I am!

I feel that I should say something poignant about the loss of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, but I will leave that to others who will speak more sincerely. Both were icons of the 70's, but both had good lives, so although my sympathy goes out to their families (as it does to anyone who loses someone they love), I feel no grief myself. The only thing I will say is that when I was in my one-and-only relationship with Graham, while I was living in Torquay, "our song" was "You Are Not Alone" by Michael, so I thank him for giving us that, at that time.
