Tuesday

Yesterday I was at work for 16 hours.   It was something new started at the end of October or beginning of November.   A grand idea that we should have people there just in case.  Most of the time we have just been sitting, collecting the pay.  I spent from  8 to 11 watching television.  I am doing another 16 hours tomorrow. 

This morning was a meeting of the geneaology group and then we went to lunch.  There was just seven of us, but we had a good time.  One of the woman had attended Johnstown Symphony Orchestra's Christmas Concert in which my daughter is a member.  Turns out the woman grew up in Johnstown and every year she meets with her friend and they have dinner and attend the concert.  It really is a small world.   She liked the concert.
