true so I get all the fun

an if you are honest we don't need anyone to lead us astray cos we merrily dance off that way ourselves

asher

thank you very much

Sheff_Sparky

nice idea but i dont have the guts to turff out aston and scott at closing time after they have drunk us dry.

asher

hey what job do you do Hayley?

I actually love my job I wouldn't choose to do any other

asher

Oh I could do that easily

penky

sure, we can just put some blankets on them and they can sleep it off in the bar , then they can open up in the morn

Sheff_Sparky

may sound daft, but i can't work. Can't afford the childcare £120 per child per day ( and one of them is at school!)

so i am at college instead studying book keeping going on to accounts - if i'm lucky.

you?

penky

I would happily do mine forever if I never had to deal with a violent abusive obnoxious patient again ,
one of my friends at work whos like 5 foot high and a lovely person, was pinned against the wall by her throat and punched repeatedly in the chest the other day at work, could have been any of us, was just her bad luck it was her that got it

asher

no have been there myself, luckily with nursing you can kill yourself and work weekend nights and have little family life so that you dont need to pay for childcare.

not altogether sure its worth it though.

Good luck with the book keeping I hope it goes well for you

Sheff_Sparky

flippin eck i couldn't do your jobs you all need a medal for what you do never mind what you have to put up with. total respect for all of you.

asher

yes i was thumped a few years ago got whiplash and a fractured skull

these things are not nice but mine was cos the bloke was hypoxic not his fault

penky

thankz babe


omg ash thats horrific!! take it your alright now?

mm, nearly all the violence that happens at my work ie patients/relatives beating up staff is drink related or just badness not coz they are ill

Sheff_Sparky

there is still no need for it. don't you have anyone to look out for you all, or do you just grin and bear it?

penky

yes we have security guards that stand and watch us getting punched coz its their job to "protect the hospital and not the staff"!!! I kid you not!

altho, I have to say, we ve got one good security guy, and he does look out for us , when he's on we know we re alright

Sheff_Sparky

what do you mean "protect the hospital?" it's bricks and mortar ffs.:curse:

i swear no one in this world has their priorities straight.

At least you can rely on one person. but still.....
