One of the benefits I do have with my job is that I can work from home. This meant that I could go visit my family in QLD last week without actually having to use up my vacation time. My dad got out of hospital last week after having a hip replacement operation. So I went up there to help them out for a few days while he was getting used to walking again. It turned out that he was actually getting around fine. Just the boredom of not being able to do much is killing him. It was my mum who needed emergency medical attention over the weekend, so I was glad I was there to sit with her over night in hospital. They are both okay now and looking after themselves.
