I finally got my rota through for December, and I still have Mondays off. This means I have both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off work, which makes me very happy indeed. I actually get a vaguely decent break over Christmas! Less good is my being scheduled to work in other branches on some Saturdays, which is a) annoying for me and b) unfair on my Saturday girl. Not a lot I can do about it, unfortunately.
Had a slightly comic moment last night when I was tuning my student violin and broke the E string. Being out of replacements, I switched to my other one and promptly broke the A string. Oops! Didn't really want to mess around switching strings between violins, so I ended up practicing my viola instead - which was just as much fun, so no loss there. Except to my pocket when I go and buy more strings...
Also, reading over what I just wrote, I think I may have too many instruments. Especially considering my general (lack of) practising habits.
