"Is that an occupation?"

[ailbhe]

When I was in hospital on Friday night - that's Friday 5th January - I had to check in, giving details like name, date of birth, address, nationality, ethnic origin, et cetera. One of the questions was "Occupation." I said "Mother."

The nurse filling in the form asked me, in the middle of the night when I was sick and dizzy, "Is that an occupation?"

Thankfully Rob answered for me; "It's a full-time job."

He does get it, yes. Habits of behaviour and thinking still up and bite us sometimes but basically he gets it.

When I left the office yesterday, I said cheerily "see you tomorrow," and one of my colleagues responded "ah yes, off to your second job aren't you?".

Apart from the reversal of priorities, he clearly also gets it.
