I'm at work today and tomorrow. 12 hour shifts. I'm not complaining. If I wasn't rota'd on, I'd have volunteered.

No bandages here either. Unless someone decides to cut up. Which being Christmas is quite likely.

Got my comfy chair (although it's not so comfy today due to putting my back out), got my coffee, got my sweets.

A couple of hours peace before everyone wakes up and the mayhem begins.

I love this thread.

The only person moaning was the person moaning about people moaning. Which they weren't.
