TGIF
Thank Gawd It's Friday. Week one back at work is almost done. It took a whole day and a half to get me to the point where I wanted to resign (again/still). The problem with taking four weeks off work is that now I have zero leave balance (thanks to being forced to take leave earlier this year to reduce my balance), so I can't take any sick days, annual leave or sanity days. Bah. I think I will spend the rest of the year fantasising about how much better life would be if I didn't have to work.
I'm not sure if I mentioned that MaxBabe's sister (one of six) came to visit us briefly last weekend. She's very nice, one of those people you can sit down and have very long discussions with. She was passing through on her way to a conference, and will be back this weekend when the conference is over. It will be nice to see her. MaxBabe is, of course, very pleased about seeing her too.
The only problem with her sister visiting is that a) we have no food in the house, and b) she's vegan, so feeding her a real meal using anything from our house is nigh impossible. So it means we've had to go out for dinner. Oh, the calamity! 
I'm looking forward to a nice Thai dinner tomorrow

1. I feel your pain. Having no leave days takes away that 'potential' escape mechanism that we all use to deal with stress at work.2. Work sucks.
3. I really, really miss good Thai food. We have great food here, but ethnic/asian is of poor quality.
I to very rarely ever get a day off, between on duty shifts and training officer shifts I will be lucky to get 1 day off in 3 weeks. That blows.We Vegans are a picky bunch arent we?
1. :(2. Doesn't it?
3. We have a very nice Thai place just up the road from here. Actually, Australia is one of those places that is so multi-cultural that it's tough to find anywhere that doesn't have decent asian food. :D
MaxBabe, being a nurse in the public hospital system, gets rostered days off. I marvel at the beauty of a system that gives people time off every other week. I'm green with envy.Yes, you Vegans are picky, but at least you're doing what you think is right. :)
