If you ever needed proof there is no pleasing me, I have to say that this morning's meeting would provide it - as I suspected, I may well be asked to cover the post I'm currently in for another week, two at the maximum, and then they've got someone lined up for 6 months anyway. I was surprised to find myself mildly miffed at this, even though it's giving me the chance to escape from working way too hard for a living. I was getting suspicious, though, when the other night I was finally given a key to the office and inducted into the arcane mysteries of the alarm system... ;)

In other news, someone went off from work with shingles, so I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I won't follow suit, though I understand it's not contagious?

Am much in love with I, Claudius, though it amuses me that Derek Jacobi has aged much better in real life than the amount of aging make-up they slapped on him back then to make him head towards the age he really is now...

Current Mood: blah

Your mum probably had a very mild case at some point in her life and might not remember it or realize what it was at the time. It happens sometimes, but it's often not enough to build a future immunity to getting the pox -- my cousin had a mild case with only one or two pox that we probably wouldn't have realized he had if everyone else in the family wasn't down with it at the time and he got a full case of it two years later -- but can still be enough to reactivate later on in life.
