It's 4am and I'm still at work!
Guh, it's my own fault. Well kinda. No it is. This evening I decided to drag the family to a trans-gender support group thing. I wouldn't say it was fun, or particularly helpful, but it was nice to be in the company of people who are going through the same thing. It was an interesting mix of people, a couple of other MtF adults, lots of trans-kids, their parents and siblings. It was a good session, but it meant swapping my early night shift for the late one, and here I am, at work, with itchy eyes and a very tired head. I was expecting to be done by 3, but they've got issues with the HHTs, and some other things, so I'm stuck here trying to help. So tired.
Just wanted to let you know. So that's all for now.
Adiós.

The Greatest Showman
So I went to see The Greatest Showman last week, what a film!
I should have gone to the gym, but I wasn't in the mood, and the night before at work I was looking at what's on at the local cinema, The Greatest Showman was showing at 12, the perfect time to get up, dressed, walk there, watch the film, walk back and have something to eat before work. Darn. DW & WB have both raved about this film for weeks & weeks, practically begging me to watch it with them, DW roped TJ & KK in to watching it and they were glued to the screen. So I figured it was time to get in on game.
And I'm so glad I did.
What an absolutely enjoyable film. I just sat there for two hours and took in every moment, there wasn't a single time when I thought "oh, this is moving a bit slowly", or "wow, this is boring". The songs, the story, the characters, the sets, everything just built up & up & up. If you haven't seen it, and you enjoy musicals, I suggest you go see it! I've had the soundtrack playing on & off for five days now and I'm still not bored of it.
So yeah, not really a film review, but just wanted to say I enjoyed The Greatest Showman, and I should have gone to see it sooner. I look forward to the DVD release!
Bye for now!

Poor unfortunate soul
Yes, I'm listening to Disney music ... boy do I wish I was there, Disney World ... sigh.
Anyway, this week we got AC installed in the computer room so that in the summer it doesn't get crazy hot in there again like it has for the past two summers. Of course by doing this I fully accept that we are going to have the worst and coldest winter in the history of time & space, but there you go, that's my lot in life.
We took Loki out for his first walk on Monday evening, which he seemed to enjoy, just went as far as the Co-op and back again and by the time we got back he seemed pretty tired, hopefully daily walks will release some of his pent-up energy and he'll be a bit calmer at home. We'll see.
Other than work there's not much else to write about, so I'll sign off now and bid you good night.

Monday
I'm not confused, but today is my first day back at work.
I'm actually missed being on nights, it's nice to have people around on the day-shift, but it's sooo noisy in the day, and when it rains on the metal roof the rain is loud and people start talking louder and ... argh! Aaanyway, nights, yeah, I do get tired, but having the day to go to the gym and mooch around the shops before coming in to work when everybody else is leaving is actually really nice. I think I'd like my next contract to be night work again. We shall see, I've just agreed to extend this one for another three months, so no need to go hunting yet.
We had a lovely Easter weekend. My sister & her husband came to visit and we all had lots of fun playing a card game where it had close-up photographs of everyday objects and we had to guess what they were (some were really hard!), after that we had a laugh playing Mario Kart. Good times. We spent lots of time in the house as Loki can't go out until the 14th, but DW and I convinced WB to watch the other two while we went out to buy a new toaster, kettle & frying pan (after WB used a metal fish slice in the pan and scratched off the non-stick coating!). We also went swimming yesterday, which was nice.
One thing I need to write about is me being transgender, it's not for right now, but I'll go in to it one day perhaps.
I best get back to work, it's 12:19am and I finish at 1, so not long to go! Toodleoo.
