Work is going well enough. I had two weeks training then it was supposed to be followed up with two weeks combination of further training and taking calls, but I wasn't able to the first day. It turned out that they weren't accepting the letter I got confirming I was on JSA (one team leader literally said "We sent him that!"). But that finally got sorted out.
The calls are a mix of the straightforward and the complicated. It helps and hinders that we're an advice line and therefore have very little power to actually do something. It really helps that I can terminate the call if need be.
One thing I love is that the priority is quality over quantity. I take as long between calls as I need to and I don't have to hit a certain call length or number of calls per shift.
The train journey is OK. I listen to podcasts and either read or do cross stitch. Which is how I finished my nephews Christmas present:
So, what else? I was supposed to go to a light art trail at the start of the year, but it was rained off. So, I got a refund on my ticket instead.
What else? Christmas Day was a bust. My broth recipe made too much to fit in the slow cooker, I forgot to get the right cheese and used the wrong breadcrumbs for the cheesy turkey schnitzels, and the pigs in blankets got burned. Plus, whatever illness I had picked that day to crest, so I spent most of the day on the sofa, wearing a thick jumper and thick hoodie, heating on, shivering.
Nothing I can do about the illness, but I am planning on having the meal properly at some point.
