well it’s election day here in the uk, so j is off at the polls.

long, arduous day for me at work. we had a partnership board/bored meeting. which is 3 hours of discussion about learning disability issues, council budget problems, services falling apart (our day centre had to close suddenly this week, as the roof collapsed), family members who take turns roasting the senior management over the coals, etc. etc. etc. you get the picture. it usually follows a fairly standard format and every meeting the same issues get rehashed, yet again, the management repeat the same placating phrases, and there is generally nothing new under the sun. however there is sometimes high drama which adds interest, and today in particular was amusing as a service user, upset that the day centre which she’s been attending for over 30 years had to be closed (did i mention the roof collapsed?), went into a lengthy and tearful diatribe, calling management evil, wicked, and horrible. hard not to laugh at that. sadly, the distraught woman has a severe speech impediment, so not everyone got the joke.

some photos from arundel here. not very interesting, but then again, neither is arundel. I was way too smart, and packed away the camera before we got soused, so the drunken evening shall remain undocumented for posterity. you’ll just have to use your imagination…

whoa – j’s back already. that was fast.
