Well that's Nanowrimo done and dusted! Not a whole novel, not even a nice one, but something to play with once I've got some of the other stuff out of the way. I can play with that tomorrow because I'm out on strike!!
I've never gone on strike before. It's an utterly pointless exercise because there are plenty of non-union people who have jumped at the chance to cover my hours. But I am a union member and the majority have voted to strike so I will too. The reason for it is that the government is fiddling round with our pensions so that we'll have to work much longer in order to get a much reduced pension. Personally, I reckon that the money to get our arses out of hock has to come from somewhere but I don't see why I should have to give up a bit of my little when there are people who get to keep all of their LOTS. HMG is welcome to larger contributions from me when they start taxing - ooh, maybe bankers bonuses? That might raise a few bob.
