Glee and random family blather...

helsinkibabySo since I'm going to a Glee convention tomorrow and it's the season five Nationals episode on Sky One tonight, and since Himself is on a night shift, I decided to look at it.
Whoa Nelly, how did I avoid spoilers for that? Well, ok, not being in the fandom helps an awful lot and I knew they weren't going to win Nationals, but the details eluded me... Romy Rosemont and Mike O'Malley made me cry, again. And the big show choir numbers were well done, as always. And I had been spoiled on Sam with the drumsticks. But the inserts of Finn during "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"? Oh, unexpected and so affecting, I bawled my eyes out. I do recall someone saying on a message board, I'm thinking TWoP, that "More than a Feeling" was one of Cory's favourite songs, so Carole pointing out to Burt that these were all Finn's favourites made me think that they were probably Cory's too. Another really well done tribute to him that is just coincidence I saw it this week!
In other news, I have successfully completed my online course, which will be nice as I now won't have to be chasing it up the last week in August, which makes a nice change.
Nimoy is starting school in September. Hold me.
I am taking parental leave for the first four weeks so won't be going back until September 29. Just before the holidays, we got served notice of a department inspection. The team will be arriving for a week, guess when? If you said September 29, you get a prize! So my first day back is the first day of the inspection... slightly freaking out about that. The only thing I keep telling myself is that they can't come in to me on the first day, because who would do that? They'll have to leave me until the end of the week (I am hoping they'll run out of time, TBH!) and anything that they say will have to be viewed through the prism of "I am literally 3/4/5 days in this room; I barely know their names yet."
That is my hope; I'll probably still be weeping in the corner on the night of the 28th though!
I have, however, ordered Himself that he MUST be off work on the Saturday of that week. Because there's going to be a hell of a night out on the Friday and I'm not gonna be on Nimoy duty while I'm recovering!
