51 Days ... & Counting!

[debris4spike]

Apparently, that's how many consecutive days of rain we have had.  A few days it has been sunny, but we have had rain early in the morning, or late evening.  However, for many of those days it has been 24 hours of rain ... often associated with a brisk wind, as well!

Work went well yesterday, and it was nice to be home a little earlier. However I was "sent for" by my boss half way through the shift ... always a worry, even though I couldn't think of any reason for the summons! So, I strapped on my bullet-proof vest, and went upstairs. It turns out the the hospital "bosses" have had a complete shake-up. So, the Welome/Enquirery Desk is going to be under a new management ... at present we are under Telecoms, but after Easter it will be under the Maintanance Team. I was told as a courtesy, and the boss said that she has passed on a recommendation for me ... but being on a zero hours contract there is no reassurance. So I wait for developements ... or maybe this means I think about early retirement ... so, watch this space.

I am working, again, later ... And am also working tomorrow morning, so I won't be posting again until Monday ... so ...






20. Are you a fan of mayonnaise in a sandwich (either egg-based or vegan)?
I am allergic to butter ... so have mayonaise, or salad cream, in sandwiches.

21. When was the last time you heard music played live (at a concert, in a musical)?
I think the last time was the last concert I played in with Bude Orchestra back in 2012.

22. What is your favourite writing implement – a fountain pen, ballpoint pen, pencil or something else?
My favourite is a fountain pen, and I have a couple I use all the time. However I do use a biro for work, or my crossword puzzle book.





Right, I am going to catch up with my comments etc, before logging off, and getting some cleaning done before heading into work.

Have a good weekend x

Oh dear, it's challenging to be in limbo.

Thanks - I was speaking to my colleague who has a full-time contract, and she has yet to know what's happening ... so there's no hope for me learning anything!!

If you played in an orchestra, did you find it hard to walk away from live music altogether afterwards?

[debris4spike]

I didn't so much as miss the live music, as missing the challenge of playing in the orchestra ... both increasing my classical music knowledge, as well as keeping focused on my clarinet playing

[siglinde99.livejournal.com]

That’s fair. I still miss playing in a concert band sometimes.

[debris4spike]

Oh, yes, I enjoyed the Band I was a member of as well

Good luck with the job situation!

I hope everything with work turns out well for you, whatever that happens to look like.

[debris4spike]

Thanks very much.

No news at all ... but that's good in that I can really think through my options ahead of timee.

A little mayonnaise is good in a sandwich. Let's see...during the summer near my parents house three years ago. I am not a fan of live music unless its jazz or classical. Too loud!!
Regular pen. I had three Montblancs but sold them. I need to get one again!

[debris4spike]

I am not a fan of modern jazz ... but like most other forms of music (well, not rap, obviously!!!!)

[deepseasiren.livejournal.com]

I love jazz. I can't believe you dont like Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Miles Davis! Such a shame. You dont know what you are missing!

[debris4spike]

I like some Ella Fitzgerald. As I said I I am not a fan of modern jazz .... traditional jazz is OK (in small amounts!). I prefer Swing-time, or Big Band Music

[deepseasiren.livejournal.com]

I like only traditional jazz and big band....my dad had hundreds of records. Sorry I should have clarified! Modern jazz like Kenny G....no.
