I was not on GS last week due to a series of holiday incidents. My parents went away while i remained home to look after the pets with no transport from the house and enouph food to last me the week. Home alone may not seem like a big issue but i live half way up the side of a valley which has a total population of 12 or less. But i'm back now. To all the unions that i'm an officer in sorry about the time away.
