Cheers Karen, I take it you enjoyed your day off.

karonious

Well, I had to do 2 whole loads of washing.
And put out the rubbish as Mr B is off on yet another course.
Such is life - a hard burden to bear but I will try not to complain too much
Cheers!
And you - a busy day?

Boopy

Yeah!
Where do all these acutely ill people come from. They sure don't believe in early intervention.

karonious

Apparently Maori and Pacifc people aren't geared up culturally to believe that early intervention is the way to go. Being more family orientated generally, they try to keep it at home and in the family for as long as possible
Made up for by all those skiving Poms and Pakehas!

Boopy

That's exactly what happens at our practice - very high rate of Maori & pacific people. But most are really lovely and friendly, and we can go home with a smile on our face, after having a laugh at work - then enjoy a nice voddie.
A little less stressful than your place

karonious

Funny enough, I have very little stress in my job: I work on a forensic rehab ward and at the moment, everything is is AOK
I think to people outside the system it probably seems very dangerous and to be fair, there are times when it is extremely dangerous but at the moment it isn't, so let's hoist a glass to stress-free work -

Boopy

Paul is also at Forensic Rehab, many staff are leaving, many on the sick - little support or back up from management. Like many managers in NZ - they seem to lack basic management skills. Workers there are often expected to put themselves at risk - not good eh!

I've started on the Voddie already, with Tia Maria in tonight.

karonious

I find our forensic service functions pretty well, seems less chaotic than yours by the sound of it.
I may have to join you
Red wine is my choice of poison tonight,
Cheers

Boopy

Red wine coming up for you my dear & just another tipple of voddie for me.

Am Loolah

Ooops, was meant to be de-toxing after last night, but here I sit on my 3rd glass of vino ... and on a school night too!

We've been here 2 months now and I've put on a stone?! WTF?????!!!! Must be the alcohol?! Anyone care to join me drowning my sorrows and adding to my fat arse?

P2L

Bottoms Up hun!!

Can't believe how quickly it's all going can you? It doesn't seem like 5 minutes since we were talking about battery operated things under your bed!!!

Am Loolah

I have no idea what you're talking about, you appear to be confusing me with someone else?!

It does go so fast doesn't it?! Time flies when you're having fun! Already feel so at home and met sooooo many "cool,awesome" people!

Spoke to my mum tonight and she's really missing us tho. How about you and yours?

P2L

Our BIL has just accepted aposition in Palmy and Kev's Dad might be coming in on a work permit, which would take them up to when we are eligible to sponsor them

P2L

P2L
