Greetings from the daily email I get telling me what mail is headed my way:
There's not much doubt what that is. It's been near to a decade if not longer since I've been called up but it is no exaggeration whatsoever to say I am not looking forward to this at all. I know people with more important jobs than mine get called up all the time, but I always seem to dig out a professional niche for myself that means it's really hard for other people to cover for me well, even if the job itself is low-level. Plus actually leaving the house seems like entirely too much bother. I mean, who does that these days.
Grousing over. Everyone does it, of course. Still: bummer!
