    And Gemmzie, I know how you feel on your lack of days off. Is this a 12 hour shift or are you on a lesser one?

    Nah it's less thankfully, I'm only meant to work 16-20 hours per week on doctor's orders at the moment.

    What purpose does the unpaid one serve?

    I take it "bond" is a kind way of saying "get drunk"...
