[khush-chronicles]

My own grandfather was a freedom fighter. But that is his achievement, in his lifetime. What right do I have to benefit from that? Even my dad wasn't born at that time.

My grandfather used to work as a police officer for a Nawab in a palace (which is now used as a museum) in Dhaka before the liberation war. My grandmother was the beloved handmaid of the wife of the Nawab. the 8 siblings of my mother were born and raised in the palace.

My grandfather was courageous. But he had 8 children and a wife. So during the massacre of 25th March, he left the city. My grandmother still says how she had to step over and on dead bodies, and walk to her village from the city all the way. How the river she had to cross through a boat was filled with fresh dead bodies, how vultures were eating the flesh by the morning of 26th March. She says that was the last she ever saw a vulture in her life. Vultures are nearly extinct in our country today. She is an 87-year-old woman, who often forgets her grandchildren's names. She can still clearly describe the horrors she saw.

After coming back, my grandfather started a grocery store. But his spirit to fight remained. He used to refuse any Pakistani who came across him. No service at all. He used to sell Milk tea with cream. Which my grandmother made at home. Pakistanis apparently loved the cream, but he always refused. He used to give shelter to the young freedom fighters in his home. Wrap them up in mats and make them stand beside cupboards so it'd look like it is just a rolled-up mat. My grandmother used to feed them like her own children, even though she was younger than a lot of them. Such were their spirits, such was their love, such was their will to serve.

The Pakistanis my grandfather used to turn away, came with military officers, beat him up in front of his own shop, thought he died, and threw his "body" in the river. His "body" was brought home to my grandmother, who didn't cry. She stood firm. My grandfather laughed, that supposed dead man laughed and said, "Fooled them".

This happened again. But he pretended to drown to save himself again. Then the man proceeded to drown 3 wooden boats full of military men in the same hour. He came back and went straight to the freedom fighter camp, collected weapons, and disappeared. Came back as a victor, a proud Bangladeshi, a warrior, a free man, and paralyzed.

He received a pension from his previous police job. But never collected the Freedom Fighter certificate. He didn't see any point in dragging his paralyzed body to a few villages away just for a piece of paper that said freedom fighter. He kept the rifle though. My grandmother now threatens people with it. Badass couple.

When asked, why he did not collect it, he used to say, "Are you free? Are you alive? Are your family members being killed? Am I alive? Are we looking at the green and red flags? Then we're liberated. We are fighters. Our freedom is our certificate."

Where is that freedom now, Nanu? Why are we dying again? Why is that piece of paper more important than our safety and lives? Are you watching from the sky? The sky was painted red yesterday, did you see? Do you know it is the blood of our brothers and sisters? The grandchildren you gave so much up for?

[faeriekit]

I am getting older but I want to teach high school or be a teacher librarian or a librarian. So I have to go back to school. Please bless my dreams library fairy 🪻🍄🍠 (an offering)

(*eats the sweet potato with bare hands*) Teaching salaries in the US are at an all time low and both careers have a highly competitive job market. My recommendation is that if you do want to do either of these, I would sign up for one of those MLS programs that lets you finish your degree and earn a teaching certificate at the same time. They exist. They'll also save you a lot of time. This way you'd have the benefit being able to apply for either position as they come up and you wouldn't have to split your time pursuing two different degree paths. The path will be hard, but if it's the one you want, go for it ✨ Librarians have a better work-life balance though FYI and sometimes pensions.

Now then...an academia blessing...maybe some of this...🧚🏽‍♀️✨📚📖🔖📚✨ ...and maybe a nine of pents. 9️⃣⭐. We want this to last.

Good luck!

A Slice of Life

[A Financial Office, Minato City, 12:39pm]

Advisor: Alright, that should be about everything...

*Two figures sit in the office of a financial advisor agency; a space cluttered with stacks of paper and a few framed certificates on the wall. A worn desk separated her from the Financial Advisor himself, a man in his late fifties. His glasses perched on the tip of his nose as he reviews the paperwork spread out before him.

Financial Advisor: So, Mrs. Tendo, it looks like you’re in a pretty good spot. You’ve been contributing steadily to your pension for years, and between that and your savings, you should have a comfortable cushion...Um...

*SNOOOOREE...*

Advisor: Um...Mrs...Tendo?

*SNOOOOOREE...*

Advisor: Mrs. Tendo!

*POP!*

Bah...!?

*The middle-aged woman sitting opposite him lazes back in her seat, having somehow entered a deep sleep at some point through the conversation. The Advisors probing wakes her up, and she rubs her eyes.

Ah...sorry...I've been losing sleep these last few nights...

Advisor: That's a shame...Were you perhaps worried about our meeting today?

Not really...It's just part of life, and I'm getting old...

Advisor: Would you...like me to repeat what I said?

No. I still heard you. You said that between my contributions and my savings, I should have a comfortable cushion...Right?

Advisor: Um...yes...but how did you-?

Comfortable. That's the word everyone uses...the goal they all assume we should strive for. But I wonder what comfort really means?

Is it just about having enough money to get by? Or is it something more, like finding a way to fill the empty hours?

Advisor: Um...Mrs. Tendo?

Ah, never mind...Like I said, I'm getting old. I'm rambling like a moron.

In any case, that's good to hear. I’ve always been a saver. My husband used to joke that I’d hide pennies under the mattress if I could.

Advisor: Well, that’s paid off. You’ve got enough to start thinking about your next chapter, whether that’s traveling or just enjoying some hobbies without worrying too much.

Hm...

You know...I’ve been thinking a lot about what comes next...I mean, I'm happy for retirement and all, but...I feel like I've not got much else to do these days.

Advisor: Pardon for the personal questions, ma'am, but...do you have any family? Maybe you could spend time with them?

Nope. I used to live with my husband and my daughter...I lost both of them during the Tragedy.

Advisor: I see...My apologies, ma'am.

Psh...Don't worry about it, it's not like YOU killed 'em...

Advisor: Well, I suppose it was rather cathartic for you then when the perpetrator for the Tragedy was brought to justice.

...Why would that be?

Advisor: Huh? W-Well...

You heard about what happened up in Hiroshima not too long ago, right? That factory explosion?

Advisor: Yes, I did.

Well, rumor has it that that explosion was part of a bigger conspiracy, which is why the Future Foundation actively involved themselves in suppressing tensions. And many are saying that Junko Enoshima is back, thanks to some leaked info from inside.

Advisor: Um...

Not to mention the fact that Izuru Kamukura and Mukuro Ikusaba, and everyone else who helped Enoshima, are still out there...It's hard to be totally at peace with all these rumors...

I mean, I don't know whether to believe 'em or not, but...it doesn't do my heart any good.

Advisor: I see what you mean. But unfortunately, I'm not the right person to help dispel your beliefs or worries. You'll need a different kind of consultant for that.

Right...

My original point was...after all these years of routine, it’s hard to imagine starting fresh, you know? I’ve always been the one holding things together, keeping the house running, looking after everyone else.

Now that it’s just me, it’s…different.

Advisor: I get it. It’s a big change, and it’s not just about money. But think of it this way. You’ve built something solid here, a foundation. Now, you get to decide what you want to build on top of it. No rush, no pressure.

I suppose that’s true. Maybe I’ll give that book club a try. At the very least, it’s something different.

Advisor: I think that’s a great start, Mrs. Thompson. And remember, you’ve got options. Financially and otherwise. You’ve earned it.

——————————————————————

...

*The Saturday morning sun filtered through the canopy of trees lining the town square, casting dappled light on the stalls of the local farmer’s market. The air is thick with the scent of fresh bread, ripe apples, and earthy herbs. Hanami navigated her way through the familiar aisles, her woven basket tucked snugly under her arm.

Hey, Fushimi. You in?

Fushimi the Baker: Ah! Well, if it isn’t my best customer! I set this one aside for you, Hanami. Fresh out of the oven this morning!

*Fushimi gives Hanami a loaf of her favorite sourdough.

Heh...You know me too well. That's a bit dangerous, huh?

Fushimi: Oh come on, what kind of man do you take me for? Besides, it's not like I'm the only one who recognizes you in this part of town. So, what’s new with you? Still walking those same early morning routes?

You know me...I like to stick to what I know. Though…I did get invited to a book club the other day. Still thinking it over.

Fushimi: Now that’s something new. You should go for it! Can’t live on bread alone, right?

...But I like bread.

Fushimi: Hah! Yeah, well, me too! In case me making a profession out if it didn't make that obvious!

*SNOOOORE...*

???: You really should stop doing that.

Ah!?

Researching African American Ancestors

Due to the long history of slavery in the United States, family history research can be challenging for many African Americans.

Census takers rarely recorded the names of enslaved people and seldom listed family members together. Enslaved people were often subjected to forced name changes, family separation, and other injustices that continue to cause challenges when finding people from the past.

But some strategies can help. 

Getting started

Download our guide to African American family history.

Gather information:

Family Bibles

Journals, diaries, and letters

Photographs

Obituaries and newspaper clippings

Birth, marriage, and death certificates

Family group sheets, pedigree charts, and books of remembrance

Interview your family members and ask whether they have any records. Take note of names, dates, and places. 

Start a family tree and add anything you've discovered. 

Search family trees by clicking the Search tab and selecting Public Member Trees. To narrow your search results, add information one field at a time until you get results you can use. 

Follow the strategies below. 

Tracing your family backward

In the United States, federal censuses are taken every 10 years. Trace your ancestors backward in censuses starting with your immediate family, recording each detail you find.

Enslaved people were not usually named in censuses. Slavery was abolished in 1865, so the first census that included the names of most African Americans was the 1870 U.S. Federal Census.

If you can trace your ancestor back to the 1870 census, you've got a good start. The next step is to find out whether they appeared in the 1860 U.S. Federal Census.

In 1860, about 10% of African Americans were free. If your ancestor was free in 1860, they should be listed in the census. If you can't find them in the 1860 census, they were likely among the 90% of African Americans still enslaved.

Look too for your ancestor in the Mortality Schedules. These are indexes of people who died during the 12 months before the census date. Mortality schedules are available for the 1850–1880 censuses. These schedules often included the names of both freedmen and enslaved people, but sometimes the names of enslaved people were excluded from the index.

Trace your ancestors backward until you can't find them anymore. At that point, it's time to find the name of the last enslaver.

Finding the last enslaver

To find pre-1870 records that include your African American ancestor, you may need to find records for the enslaver.

If your ancestor has an uncommon last name, search censuses for white people with the same surname as your ancestor in the same area. When you find them, make a list; these are possible enslavers. Only about 15% of formerly enslaved people took the enslaver's surname. Start with the 1860 U.S. Federal Census. 

Search the Freedmen's Bureau for your ancestor's name. The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands was established in 1865 to help newly freed African Americans transition to life outside slavery. The names of former enslavers were often included in labor contracts, sharecropping agreements, and marriage records. Read more about the Freedmen's Bureau Records & Freedman's Bank Records.

Search the U.S. Colored Troops Military Service Records and the Civil War Pension Index. First, identify an ancestor in the Colored Troops Military Service Records, then use the information you find to locate the same person in the Civil War Pension Index, which often lists the names of enslavers.

Search the Freedman’s Bank Records. The Freedman's Savings and Trust was an institution chartered by Congress to benefit of newly-emancipated people. This publication reproduces fifty-five volumes of signatures and personal identification data of thousands of depositors who maintained accounts with the bank. These records usually show account numbers, dates of application, and the depositor's name, age, complexion, place of birth, place raised, occupation, spouse, children, family members' names, remarks, and signature. These registers of deposits sometimes included the name of a formerly enslaved person, their family members, and the former enslaver.

Search the Wills and probate records. Enslavers’ wills and probate records often list enslaved people by name.

Search U.S. Interviews with Former Slaves, 1936-1939. This database contains more than 2,300 first-person accounts of slavery and 500 black-and-white photographs of people who were formerly enslaved. It’s searchable by any word, so references to specific names can be found easily. Enslavers were often named in these narratives.

Searching slave schedules

If you know the enslaver's name and your ancestor's likely year of birth, try searching for the enslaver in the 1850 slave schedules and 1860 slave schedules. For help searching or understanding slave schedules, see Searching Slave Schedules.

More resources

The African American history page on Ancestry contains information about our DNA test and links to search databases.

The African American Historical Record Collection features interviews with people who were formerly enslaved, slave manifests, slave emancipation records, and more.

AfriGeneas provides resources for African-related genealogy with a vision of finding and documenting the last slaveholder and the first African in each family.

Cyndi's List has an index of genealogy sites about African American research.

The National Archives contain both African American research and links to resources.

The Hutchins Center for African & African American Research is a Harvard research center that supports research on the history and culture of people of African descent and provides a forum for collaboration.

*ummm... I saw your tag and the comment and I hope you're at a safe place now. I hope it's not too much. I apologize if this reopens old wound.*

Hey, thanks so much for the concern. I'm completely fine to talk about being kicked out. It helped me leave my toxic situation all that much easier.

Thankfully my Nana let me move in with her the same day so I'm grateful i never ended up on the streets cause that's exactly where I would've been without the help and support I have now. I've got my own increased disability pension, my support worker who's helped me since I graduated high school 3 years ago has been there for me every new milestone I achieve and even helped me get my birth certificate, id's and other important stuff of mine back. I managed to have my first paying job last year at Christmas and my old boss even asked if I wanted to come back again this year! (I am btw, gonna be taking ALL the selfies with Santa :D). I've been applying for jobs about every week but nothing has gone through yet (you would not BELIEVE how many big companies have switched over to AI Interviews its been A NIGHTMARE-) however I'll be going back to Tafe (tertiary education) to get cert 3 in Child Care and see where that might take me, hopefully down a similar line as my support worker, he's helped change my life so much and is one of my biggest heroes. In fact we're even going to Melbourne next week for the PAX convention and he's been helping get our cosplays ready (Going as Verosika Mayday and Stolas from Helluva Boss).

All this compared to when I was practically an unpaid maid in my own home and was literally told often that I don't deserve my own opinion since I was acting "childish" and "disrespectful". That the reason I was suicidal and depressed was because I was "too lazy" to do my chores when I was told to. That if I brought in the washing creased or didnt cook a UNIQUE dinner every night or forgot to wash the dishes afterwards, I hadn't earned the right to eat breakfast the next day. Heck, if I hadn't done some of my chores (cause I was literally out of the house around 9 hours a day studying for a course I BEGGED to quit), like if the clothes got creased in the basket from when my parent left them for WEEKS in their room or vacuum the floor of the entire house, I would have to pay them a "Maid Tax" of $30 (AUD) for every chore of that they did. Oh and I also didn't have any kind of allowance growing up, just a centrelink pension of about $500 a fortnight that I had no control over.

This is all stuff I had to deal with since I was about 11, and I had a lot of other trauma from my other parent when I was younger, as well as other stuff I don't want to mention. I know there are worse things people can go through but I hope no kids get stuck in the same situation I was. No one deserves to feel like they earn the right to just exist in the world. Just because they're acting like a child having a temper tantrum doesn't excuse you having to be the adult in the relationship. I'm 21 in 2 months and I've had to be way more mature than the rest of my family who are in their 60's and 70's (who KNEW how my parent treated me) just so I could mentally survive. Even if they hadn't laid hands on me for a long time, emotional abuse still counted as domestic abuse, a fact I think my parent forgot.

I am fairly certain my parent has undiagnosed BPD, my psychologist and support worker both seem to think so after seeing the messages I've received from my parent over the year, going from scathing rants to suicidal goodbyes to ignoring me for months to civilized invitations to events we both like and then back to scathing rants. I've lived with my parent for so long I understand how their thought process usually goes so I can understand where each of the actions come from but that doesn't mean I'll be excusing them anymore.

They're still my parent, the one who's loved me, raised me, fought for me, guided me and helped support me for my entire life. However, I also have to accept that they're narcissistic, manipulative and hypocritical. Just because I love them does not mean I love how I'm treated by them. I hope that anyone who's going through anything similar to this can find the help they need to get a better support system and rise above the situation you're in. Take it from someone who can't see their own future still, it DOES slowly get better as long as you have at least one person you can count on.

Seriously thanks for the ask, I've never really gotten to properly talk/write about my life before and how it's changed so much in just a year. I hope you have a great day :))

my cousin's wife came over today and we all talked a lot and. I do feel a little better. she was totally open to me owning a house and making that happen if that's what I really want. and lots of programs for low-income to apply to for help with bills. which like I knew existed but my mom and I never applied for them because we always combined our incomes so we always made too much for them. but I am eligibile! and that shouldn't feel scary bc that's literally what they're for. there are lots of things that are supposed to help and that can help. my mom also set her will up Perfectly so that anything we got would go into specific special needs trusts to not affect my brother or my's disability payments, which my cousin's wife will man

her: unless you don't want me to!! it's okay!!

me: well! I trust you!!

her: you got it!! but feel free to fire me too whenever you want girl it's all you and you got this!!

me: THANK YOU.........😭😭😭😭

we all went to the bank and got some stuff rolling for getting my accounts in only my name; there's a lot we can't do yet for various paperwork reasons but things we can do too. Phone calls my aunt can make and I can make. my mom also had a pension, of course, and there's a possibility it might be set up for survivor's benefits, which would. really help a lot too.

me: so you don't need my birth certificate?

the woman at the bank, who has clearly seen things in her time: oh no, but, like, thank you so, so much for bringing it.

my cousin's wife: omg of COURSE your mom rounded up in her bank records so she always had a cushion. god she was so smart

me: !!!!! 🥺🥺🥺...............

(my aunt: she didn't do it to the penny?????

me: nancy, YOUR mom does her bank records to the penny and has literally fucked up her records TWICE

anyway. consider rounding up in your personal bank records, so you always have a cushion. just like, remember there's a cushion, and add some of it back in sometimes!)

(also that made me feel really good. my mom always felt like. people judged her in the family for the way she handled money. and she wasn't always perfect at it either!! but she did a really good job!!!!!)

she also knows someone to help me pick a new insurance plan that will work the best for me. which is a relief. so I do feel. okay. MORE OKAY THAN CRYING ABOUT DETERGENT, SO!!!!! it's. it's gonna be okay. my brother and I had a really fun dinner (egg salad but we both went in different directions with what we added to it so that was nice). I asked best friend to hang out soon. loss is still like. a literal knife in me it's been six days and I want. to show my mom the new cake pusheens (I showed my brother, but he does not have a Cuteness Radar). I want to reread fruits basket but I don't think I can right now. I get anxious and I have to convince myself I'm okay instead of asking her. but that was something I'd been working on doing for the past year and she was really proud of me and I can like. picture the little wave we'd give each other sometimes while sitting in the living room together. I found a video she recorded of me on her phone last year when we were talking and I love that video a lot. my brother is loading the dishwasher so I don't have to. I got to sing today when he went home for a while and that was nice!! I want to look at my fanfic and finally reblog everything for woevember. I miss my mom. just writing mom is hard. and that's okay. tomorrow still happens.

and I did message my sister, because my brother submitted the obituary today and i wanted to tell her before any of her friends back here mightve seen it and talked to her, on that incredibly off chance. and I did include my mildly scathing sentences, which my brother approved of. and then I blocked her. because I do not have to have her in my life! which! my mom was also fine with!!

aunt linda: you know, it happens in every generation of the vandelays, back to my grandfather. someone just winds up not talking to someone else in the family!! (her own son has not spoken to her for 22 years.)

me: i.....................feel like that's reaching curse standards.

aunt linda got way too excited about that. thanks aunt linda!! 💖

02x01 - Snouts And Red Herrings

TW: Racist language and ignorant behaviour (filmed in the 1980's)

Maintenance men are working in the very busy Front Office and June can't hear anything from the radios due to the constant noise. Bob has to rearrange his phone call and Taffy can barely hear the lady at the Front Desk complaining about her neighbours choosing to keep a goat in their garden. She claims it's causing criminal damage by eating her rosebushes. Next to her, Yorkie is trying to deal with a man presenting his license and MOT certificate.

Upstairs, Ted is complaining about Roy's recent attitude. Mike repeats the old adage of judging someone by results not how they do their job. "Bullshit, we're policemen, not sales reps!" Mike says the Super lets him get away with it so there's nothing they can do. Ted is not appeased, claiming Brownlow wants a quiet life and an easy way to get his foot on the next rung of the ladder and is only interested in admin and politics. Roy arrives, telling them that he wants a particularly violent man arrested, suggesting they take backup. He doesn't, however, tell them what they're arresting him for and orders Ted to 'just get it done'.

The Front Office is still in chaos and it's about to get worse as the electricity needs to go off for half an hour. Bob tries to tell Ted and he claims they can turn it off forever as far as he's concerned. Bob tries to find out what's wrong and Ted rages that he'll lose his pension over Roy because one day he'll just lose it and punch him.

Bob tells him to give Roy some time and he'll 'come to terms with it'. Ted scoffs and says he's had three months to come to terms with it. The 'it' is a divorce after 15 years of marriage as Mrs Galloway refused to keep putting up with Roy's work/life balance (or work/work balance for Roy!) As they leave, the man who was presenting at the front desk with his license and MOT is recognised by Mike as Mr Farmer 'long time no see!'. Definiely-not-Mr-Farmer-Honest shuffles uncomfortably and tells him he has the wrong man.

Viv and Jim are having a chat with a grocer who has had to manage on his own whilst his wife is in hospital. They joke about men not being able to cope when left to their own devices. As Viv gets a call to go try calm Mrs Goat Complainer Beck down Jim jokes about her having his slippers ready for 1.30pm. "Something that needs a man?" Jim grins as Viv asks him to assist her.

The power will now apparently have to be off for about an hour - at least. Bob snaps that he can't have it down for as long as the builder claims it might take because they need it to power the personal radios and be able to give jobs out and send assistance if required as well as charge the batteries for the radios. At the front desk, Abe Lyttleton reports to see Bob Cryer. He's a day early and popped in to introduce himself and have a look around.

Mrs Beck claims her neighbours are hippies who spend their time on another planet. She claims she's tried everything but the smell and damage are too much! She wants him gone!

Roy heads to a disused train station to meet an informant. "If I'm in the wrong place, Conga, I'm gonna kick your arse. Then if I am you won't hear me so it'll come as a nice surprise." "Got a way with words you have, Galloway." Conga drawls, telling Roy to get his wallet out because his information is good. He tells him about a robbery that's being planned at a bank in Sun Hill. Roy threatens to arrest him for wasting his time if he doesn't give him any more information so he names two men - Frank Parry and Denny Lamb but won't give the location or time without money up front.

Ted and Mike have returned from using their 'charm' on Roy's prisoner, wrestling him into a cell. He put up a good fight as Ted has taken some good whacks to his face.

Roy sits outside with a camera, taking pictures of a builder's lorry that Jim showed interest in earlier before Viv took him with her to see Mrs Beck. The cigar is still present whilst taking the pictures. His observation tells him that it's Parry and Lang working on the building beside the grocers.

Pete Muswell joins his colleagues in the canteen, moaning when he spots Abe talking to Bob, claiming that 'it had to happen, I suppose'. Taffy and June look disgusted with him with Taffy pointing out that tact has never been his strong point. "All I said was-." "We heard exactly what you said." June cuts him off. Bob introduces Abe to the others who all welcome him except Pete who avoids his gaze and continues eating. Jim and Taffy tell him Bob is one of the best and will see him right. Pete burps and leaves the table with Viv apologising for him. "One out of 6 of you isn't bad." Abe says, lifting his tea as the power suddenly cuts out.

Mike, Taffy and Tom talk about Mr Farmer who definitely isn't Mr Farmer! He's a former landlord and they used to drink in his pub after work. His mother lives at the address that he brought the licence in for and Mike suspects that he's gotten a fake one after having his real one suspended for five years again.

The personal radio system and battery charger isn't working despite promises from the builder that they'd run a temporary line to it. An apprentice reports it to the foreman who tells him to check the line. The trainee attempts to fix the fusebox, however, he makes the situation worse as the fuse completely blows when his back is turned and doesn't notice the issue.

Bob tells Charles that Abe appears bright and sharp with a good sense of humour. Abe is the first black officer at Sun Hill and Charles tells Bob that Abe's his third posting in 3 and a half years. Bob understands, telling Charles it can't be easy being a minority in a minority. Charles tells him not to give him any special treatment either way and that he'll have the offenders of any internal bigotry transferred in a flash. He wants Sun Hill to succeed for Abe where the others failed.

Ted has freshened up after his rough and tumble with Roy's suspect. Roy tells him and Mike something urgent has come up and wants to know who has the lease for the empty shop on Queen's Parade. Roy has also been contacting bank managers to try glean further information on a potential robbery that Conga mentioned. When one located on Queen's Parade returns his call he forces the boys out of his office. "How the hell can we work as a team if he won't tell us what is going on?" "He'll soon put us in the picture." Mike assures him."Ours not to reason why-" "You're talking like a prat, Mike!" Ted snaps.

The electrics are still not on but the front office is much quieter. Bob starts to try and tidy up, moving the workmen's tools. It turns out that the electrics went off right as they decided to take a lunch break. Jim returns for a new battery and tells Bob that he and Viv are going to see if the goat owners have returned home and gives him a registration to look up when the electricity is turned back on. It's the same one that Roy spotted and the registration on the tax disk is not the same as the one on the vehicle.

Roy suspects the bank in question is the one on Queen's Parade - near to where Parry and Lamb are working and that it's a cover whilst they dig underneath the building into the bank. Their form appears to be petty stuff so he asks Mike to obtain a complete set of plans for the surrounding area from the Town Hall. He tells him to use his charm to get the plans without giving anything away. "How can I give anything away? I don't know what's going on." The building they're 'working on' is up for let and it has been on the market for 6 months. The owner denies employing builders or decorators.

Roy has made a call to DHQ to get some information and observation done via the back door. Bob takes them up to find Ted still simmering and apologises for interrupting. Roy tells Ted to gather CID and tell them to call their wives and lovers to tell them they won't be home because they're all on overtime. He still gives them no idea why! He also won't tell Bob, only that he'll be informed if and when. Bob reminds him that his violent prisoner needs a charge to enable him to stay longer and he shouts after him to charge him with assaulting Ted before continuing to look through the pictures from DCHQ.

Yorkie and Tom arrive at the pub of Mr Farmer and find no one in when trying at the private entrance. Tom tries again before a very nervous-looking woman peeks out and claims that Mr Farmer is not home. Yorkie sees him driving off out the back and tries to report the registration back to the station.

In CID, Roy is finally opening up and suggests Lamb and Parry will be digging sidewards from the empty shop into the vault next door. He suspects that one has form with explosives and they'll likely set small charges so they can get up through the floor to get the money. He doesn't want to go in too early to spook them or let them know that they're onto them but in the same breath, he doesn't want to leave it too late to let them get away with the cash. Roy has a meeting planned with the bank manager and wants to keep everything looking normal so nothing can leak out. Whilst there is explosives form, there's no history of firearms. Roy suggests where Ted and Mike should wait but Ted points out that doesn't give them a view of each other so he suggests that he move in slightly. Roy snaps back that he has to do it his way and that he doesn't have time for a debate."What's up with you lately?" Roy scoffs. "What's up with me?" Ted snaps in disbelief.

Downstairs the foreman is claiming the electrics job is more involved than he expected it to be and that he doesn't have a time for Bob for how much longer it'll take. June tells Jim that the transit belongs to Frank Parry but the tax disk is registered to Dennis Lamb.

Ted watches the van drive away and gets out to have a look. He tries to radio back to the station to get them to inform Roy. Jim spots it driving past him as he was about to go deal with the tax disk/reg business. Neither he nor CID are aware of each other's interest in it.

The next morning the power is still not fully back on and the personal radio batteries have not been recharged because of it. Abe arrives to start his first day and finds his Sergeants distracted by trying to deal with the chaos.

Galloway's angry prisoner is not happy to still be in the cells and is demanding his 'sodding breakfast'. Taffy chirpily tells him they don't have that sort, "Only English or continental." He's going to put in a complaint and wants Galloway. "Grilled or scrambled?"

Mike watched Lamb and Parry leave the pub at 11.23pm the night before. He followed them back to their digs where he stayed till 2am and then left to return home for some sleep. Ted stayed on obbo at the site until 2am and no one went near the place. He's left Jim (Random extra Jim, not JimJim) watching and everything is still quiet. Mike is sent back to watch the van and Ted is sent to relieve Jim.

The owners of the goat have been spoken to and have promised to keep an eye on him to ensure he's behaving. Bob explains this in the briefing and asks them to keep an eye on it when passing. Jim is sent out with Abe to help show him around with Bob telling him he might learn something from him.

Roy calls his ex and tries to speak to his daughter, Julia. He tries to talk to her when she finally answers but she instantly calls for her mum. Mrs Galloway, Kate, asks what he wants and he tells her he'd gotten the divorce papers through that morning and wants to talk. "Talk?" Kate sounds almost surprised but still disbelieving. "You want to talk?" Roy is struggling and tries to beg her. "Pleease!" "You've left it too late. About 10 years too late!" She snaps, hanging up. Roy hangs his head, throwing papers across the floor and shouting "DAMN!" as Bob nears, quietly apologising and telling Roy he'll come back later. Roy asks him what he wants and he explains he still has the violent prisoner from the day before and Roy says he'll be down in 10 minutes. "... Are you alright, mate?" "Fine."

The apprentice electrician/maintenance man is fascinated by Viv as he passes her, watching her go with a goofy smile. "She'll eat you alive, sunshine..." The foreman smirks. "If she doesn't I certainly will, both of you!" Bob adds."It wasn't our fault, chief. The fuse on the temporary line blew. We hadn't any way of knowing!"

June bawls Pete out for not making Abe welcome in briefing. He claims he can still have an opinion even though he's wearing a uniform and June reminds him to keep it private and that it has no place at work. "He'll have to get used to it. I'm not prejudiced anyway." Course not Pete. Before June can respond Mrs Beck comes running out to them and shouts at them to come follow her into her garden as it's 'gone off its rocker'. The goat owners insist there's nothing to be worried about and that the goat is called Hector as he was a trojan warrior in a past life. Pete goes out to say see him and he charges Pete several times, leading to them calling for a vet to calm him.

Taffy takes Roy's prisoner his breakfast and pulls down the divider to get the tea thrown back in his face. He should be glad it's just tea...! Roy visits the prisoner in his cell and tells him he's in dead lumber. (Bet the guest stars were glad when they moved and cell conditions improved 😂)

Roy winds him up about 'an old slag you're supposed to be knocking off' as his albi. "Can't tell you who though chief, married woman you see." Roy fakes laughing, before the prisoner makes an offhand comment about it maybe being Roy's wife. Roy doesn't find it funny, in fact he flies forward to attack him and has to be pinned back by Bob. The prisoner growls that he'll do Roy for that and Bob shouts back at him to shut it. Outside Bob and Roy have a growled argument before Roy shouts at him to just release the prisoner.

The vet goes to see Hector who takes a shine to him and behaves with him whilst the vet checks him over. "He obviously didn't fancy you!" June smirks before she and the vet realise what's been going on with Hector... he's high!

Mrs Farmer tells Tom she still has no idea where her husband is and worries that he'll be sent to prison. Eventually she confesses that he's probably gone to his sisters in Barkingside. She said she tried to stop him but he was frightened of being locked up so legged it. He obtained the license by using his brother-in-law's name who now lives in Australia so he used his identity. Everything had been fine until he was stopped for speeding and then it fell apart. Tom promises he'll sit on it for an hour to give her the chance to get in touch with her husband and get him to come in under his own steam so it looks better for him in court. Thankfully he takes them up on their 'offer'.

Ted and Mike are horrified to see Uniform crawling over the transit van that they're watching. They try to call into Sun Hill to report it and get them away but of course, the batteries are not charged so their radios are not working and Jim and Abe are oblivious. Bob instructs Ted to do whatever he sees fit to not blow the job. Ted tries to pretend to be a member of the public having an emergency but Abe doesn't recognise him to know that it's a distraction and to move. Mike and Ted have to arrest Lamb and Parry and hope they have enough to go on. Roy is furious and blames Uniform for messing it up, shouting that he only needed one more day. Bob tells him that it's his own fault for not being more open and telling them what was going on so he could warn his relief to stay clear and is sure that all they'll get from them is a bent tax disk because of his pigheadedness. Having had enough of the entire situation, Bob knocks off 12 minutes early to go the pub, unable to take anymore.

Ted tells Roy that his snout fed him a dummy job because there was nothing in the basement to make out that they were up to anything dodgy other than some poor plastering. Roy blames Ted for moving in too soon and Ted finally gets to point out how unbearable Roy has been. He doesn't care if Roy reports him because he is the one who cocked up by not opening up and telling anyone else. "Now you're just a loud-mouthed bully boy who stamps his feet when he doesn't get what he wants!"

In the pub Bob comforts Ted and tells him Roy isn't vengeful and to calm down, sleep on it, and everything will be alright in the morning. Sadie, the barmaid, interrupts to tell them that a bank has been broken into via the sewer and the robbers went straight up into the vault. Thankfully it isn't a bank that was on Sun Hill's patch! Roy enters the pub at the other end of the bar to Ted and Bob. Slowly he works his way round after buying them a drink." Haven't been that bad have I?" "Yes." Bob replies before Ted adds. "Worse." Calmly Roy suggests meeting back at the nick when he's finished his drink so they can go through what they do have together to try and nail Parry and Lamb.

Finding the fun in life

   I went to college to become a high school math teacher. I got the math degree and the teaching certification (in 1991), sent out my resume, crickets. There was an opening for an ‘actuarial assistant’ at a local business, and the only requirement was a math degree. I went for an interview and was hired.

   They had me do all sorts of oddball tasks while I was being trained, some of which were actually enjoyable, but the very first “real” actuarial thing I did was fill out PBGC forms for each client. I will not bore you by telling you what that was, except to say that the PBGC is a government agency that guarantees companies’ pension plans like FDIC guarantees peoples’ bank accounts in case of bank failure.

   The things was. To do McCompany’s form, I had to pull up the pension software. From the first screen, Forms was the third menu item. (Before the invention of the mouse, here) I would tap the down arrow twice, then hit enter. We’re in Forms! The PBGC form was the third thing on the menu. Down arrow twice, then enter. so . . .

tap tap CLICK

Buddy you’re a boy make a big noise

playing in the street gonna be a big MAN someday

you got . .

Needless to say, I was IMMENSELY popular with my new coworkers, who appreciated my delightful sense of humor. Because they were a group of actuaries and accountants.

Well. I thought it was funny.
