choux, the lecture actually went okay. However, I have an appointment with the renal consultant in about a month - that is not going to be 'fun'.
Red - I spent my civil service career all in the same department. It must be exciting going to do something totally different. My friend does some sort of auditing for benefit fraud cases, I think that it is a trial. She enjoys it.
choux, being paid money to do nothing all day is fun. Manic Depression is not an easy thing to deal with but it is much easier when you don't have work to worry about.
