An unexpected night off....

Todays shift should have started at 18.00 hrs, but due to a colleague ringing in sick (red and itchy rash apparently, although I don't know whereabouts on his body the rash actually is.....) i'll be needed in Hull tomorrow to transport more wrinklies between hospitals and care homes, to cover his shift, otherwise I would have collected a response car from our yard, along with the neccesary mobile phone, and sat at home 'on call' with my uniform and bag all ready to go when the phone rings, for any transplant or mental health jobs that come in within our area. So i've had a quiet day, but didn't finish until gone midnight in Hull yesterday, so I don't feel too bad about it. I've learnt to enjoy the quiet times, as the job can go 'manic' very quickly.
