Lunch with a Prince.

I had lunch with Prince Edward on Sunday. Ok, more accurately I had lunch in the same room as HRH The Prince Edward Earl of Wessex. It goes along with my conversation with him which lasted all of 4 seconds and consisted of me answering a question. Hanging out with royalty, it's how I roll... It was the end of a rather long couple of weeks. Beginning with last week when I passed command on to my Executive Officer in stage one of Jason retires from the military (stage 2 is Jason figures out the 15 pages of forms to retire from the military). I had another paper due last Friday which occupied most of my evenings. The term's now over and quietness on that front till the end of August.

Last week I ended up cooking at work due to the reorganization of the health regions into one humongous mess. So on top of my regular duties at work, I ended up doing the job of someone else who wasn't at work due to the requirement that their contract be re-signed by people hat had yet to be hired. At last we heard, the new hire might be back in the office by tomorrow and possible sign the contracts in the next few days. I'm not holding my breath.

Anyhow just the wait till the end of the month and then some time off (and the start of retirement leave!).
