Yup, I'm off again. Tomorrow, I'll be talking to my boss about my pay situation - and I hope I'll not need to go on strike again. Ever.
Meanwhile, I've completed the semi-mammoth task of "link-wrangling" the Glitterthorn profile at To Be Continued. I chose to remove all those instances where "The Big G" is merely mentioned, and halved the amount of work for the final update. Now that that is done, I can concentrate on the next story, MoN-204 "Mane-of-Night And The Day At The Races". That shouldn't take too long, or require an awful lot of creative energy, as it has a fairly "low-impact" storyline - which can't be said for almost everything else that's on the cards for the rest of the year...
In The News... Oh, here it comes - the smack in the mouth for the unemployed in this general election. So anyone unemployed over two years will have to "take the job they're offered, or lose their benefits", will they? I'm thinking that the people writing this crap do not realise that the Jobcentre does not offer you a job - they do a Jobsearch, and offer you information on a vacancy, which is not a "job offer". Actually being offered or given a job at the "Jobcentre" would make a HUGE amount of difference, but that simply Does. Not. Happen.
Fix it. If it's going to be "a future fair for all", remember the meaning of the word "all".
