From snot to poo, hoorah

[hellkat]

Got offered a new job on Friday. Year long contract at whipps cross as the gastroenterology sec. Same grade, same hours, just closer to home. Part of my long term plan to work smarter not harder.

I'll actually miss the Brompton, the people there are lovely - but I had to get away from the snot.

Not told the boss yet, waiting for the written offer.

Still, it's better than snot, and with a bit of luck I won't be doing it in five years time!

Hoping to keep my governor thing at the Brompton going, cos I really do enjoy that side of things - but as a non staff member I might have to try being voted in from a public constituency.

Very good news hun

If you include the knocking shop, does that mean semen>snot>poo?

Definitely working in the more solid direction, if nothing else

[hellkat]

Yeah I thought that, too
Hard sports, I thought I'd escaped all that.
Still ... Whilst eating lunch, the technical details regarding the consistency of sputum is much more uncomfortable to listen to, than either semen or poo ... strangely enough.

Aww no more Central London bump-ins... but Whipps Cross is literally 2 minutes away from my flat Also have a few friends that work there. Plenty of parking space for a bike

Nice one lady
Had some dealing with our local (Herts and Essex) Gastro dept recently.


'How do you poo?'

Ha, that's what my dad taught my son to say when welcoming someone at the door.

[hellkat]

I'm looking forward to being revolted on a whole new level of grossness, not done gastro before I always like moving to new specialties, learning new stuff.

There was also a nice little reception job going at the Brompton, part time one week on/one week off, but on a lower grade. I was tempted enough by that to apply, then I could spend time down in the country mansion ( but then wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it although I'd soon find something lucrative to fill the spare weeks with

SO I'd drop the poo job like a hot brick if the Brompton offered me an interview for their reception job, cos I really do like it there, as a governor I've met loads more people than if I just stuck at being a dingbat secretary, and all the staff really are lovely* ... I just hate certain aspects of it (snot, asbestos in my office, infuriating patients etc) and would be much happier in the generic meet and greet reception job. Smiley smiley all day long, much more my style. But the personnel dept are dragging their heels, so the Brompton are likely lose me to the ploppies if they don't hurry up.




*except the person who regularly behaves in our toilet as though s/he should have an inpatient season ticket at *their* local gastro ward.

Dooves, if I accept the Whipps Cross job, you want to pray that your pert little bottom doesn't start playing up, cos I would make a point of hiding all the soft toilet paper on days you had an outpatient appointment

All I want to know is whereabouts in London do I have to crash so I get 'special' bed baths from hellkat.

At the moment, you'd have to crash in Chelsea (although there is no A&E at the Brompton, as its a specialist chest hospital: you'd end up having to go to the Chelsea & Westminster down the road, and I don't do outcalls )

After Feb, you will have to crash in north-eastish London, Epping Forest, early Essex or thereabouts.

(I dunneven know if Whipps Cross have an A&E, actually...)
*wanders off to google new workplace*

Told the most important people today. Was pleased to have one of them go "Oh nooooooo, no no no no ...", and put his head in his hands (although that may have been because he's just finished a recruiting-round for a new cystic fibrosis secretary, and would not want to be doing it all over again so soon )

Gratz on the job.

My current contract is at Whipps Cross and they very much do have an A&E. I am helping with the winter pressures tasks in a data role so very much off the shop floor.

Loads of motorbike parking, you can park pretty much anywhere except under the bridge next to patient records or in ambulance bays.

If you want to know anything about the site feel free to ask and I'll try to help.

[hellkat]

Cool, ta.

I'll be taking my car for a bit in the foreseeable, cos all me bikes seem to be off the road at the moment. But thanks for the helpful advice

Owp!




Never rains but it pours.

I had accepted the above, started all the HR paperwork, and then got offered an interview for another job, much more interesting*, better paid, better hours, which I had applied for before the other one, but didn't get the interview offer until after I had been offered by Whipps Cross.

However, I just went to the interview and ... just got offered that job too!


Typical. I have been applying for jobs all over the place, for the last five years and flunking all the interviews (even at the Brompton!) and now everybody wants me at once...


*working as an admininstrator for a mental health trust, in the office of the shrinks who deal with self-referred stressed-out medical staff.
