Resigned in 2 days

 To carry on from the last post, where I vowed to never interview again.... looks like that was just a wishful dream. The person we interviewed first, the one that answered impeccability, who on her first day turned up looking like Wozel Gummidge, the one who was able to get online, get a swipe card, access all online training and get a login for the medical records.... I hastened to add that in my history of working this has NEVER happened, she let me know on day 2 that "I don't think I can work here" I cocked my head to the side like a dog and pondered over that statement for a second maybe 2 and then "you what" "oh yes, I just don't think I can work full time at my other job and here at the weekend" Oh you think do you. "Did you not think to have a conversation with me prior to starting and during all the time we've been communicating??? "No i just thought I could do it, but I can work this weekend if you like" oh conveniently because its Easter and you get a shit tonne of money. "Erm no thank you, goodbye" 

And with that off she tottled and left me going to our team huddle to let people know she'd just resigned.. most of the team hadn't even met her. To say I was blown away is an understatement, I think that's new record for me, a previous employee lasted a week. Oh no wait, I've had 2 people resigned before they started. Ahhh now that's a result! 

The other lady that we're still waiting for, the one that sang us the bean bag song and if you're happy and you know it, is arguing that "my Dr said I don't need those vaccinations" yes old love but I'm telling you it's a requirement so you have to get them if you want to work here.... apparently she does, she's due to start in a couple of weeks. I will of course keep you posted. 

In other news Sean and I have just had a weekend away camping with the boys - who were so well behaved, even Ted when he decided to shout at the guy filling up his water bottle, how dare he when Ted had been using that post to piss on all day, Boom thought he'd join in too and shouted, even when the kid from the next door pitch came running over and was almost greeted full force with Ted, and even when Boomer did a 3am dash to chase something up a tree (yes the same dog we have to DRAG on a walk) by the way sorry Sean for leaving the lead, buckle side up exactly where your foot stepped down, and also sorry for the fact the van door didn't want to close, but not sorry you were in your boxers running after Boom, that's all you my love. and yes I'm sorry I didn't help I was too busy pretending to be asleep. I also apologise for only buying you 1 steak on our 2 nights away. In the picture there was 2 (I'm sure) and for the price I was actually expecting 4. But I think the tin of chili made up for it and also I'm sorry that the rice I put in there was a few months out of date, but you're ok and like I say it was only a few months, not like the cloves I have in the cupboard that are from the UK (we moved 11 years ago) but they're ok, and only come out at Christmas!! 

I am also sorry for not taking the frying pan, I swear I thought I saw it in the van but using the rusty old saucepan for steak and my salmon, added flavour ... right. At least I remembered the food this time, and the pillows!!!!



Come on a holiday Boom, they said, It will be fun they said. 
They lied 


Did you hear me Mum, I just shouted at the guy next to us. 


It is time to leave yet Mum 


Hey Mum, I reckon I could take that beast over there can I, can I.

To interview or not

For the 6th consecutive month I am interviewing again, 😔 and I found out on Friday I will be interviewing in April as well, sigh (more on that later - but remember the 7.01am sick caller.... hold on to that!) Now I used to love interviewing I used to love the thought of giving someone a chance and loved the thought of my team growing. Now I'm deflated, broken and down trodden, because I constantly think will you be a Muppet are you going to cause me grief will you actually do your job. One of the successful candidates I recruited in October who at the time of interview had NO pre booked holiday and no desire to find alternative work, started, and on day one, oh my goodness forgot that he had a 3 week holiday booked in 3 weeks. Oh and then also forgot to tell me that he's actually got another job at a different hospital. He lasted a month, minus 3 weeks holiday. Double sigh.  The guy before him, also forgot to mention he had a child in another country and booked time off to go ...

Started but not finished

Flicking through keep notes on my phone and I just came across this blog, not sure why I didn't finish it, maybe by some small rare chance I slept (yeh I doubt that too) anyway it's just a short funny little snippet from out fight back to the UK in 2023) Enjoy, but don't get comfy, you'll have it read in 5 minutes xoxo  Sean just had the audacity to say "you seem highly strung" I'm not sure what gave him that idea, the fact I've only had 3 seconds sleep, the fact I worked out before our 24 hr flight back to the UK, the fact I've drunk 4 glasses of bubbles, 1 vodka & diet coke (all important diet not full fat coke) plus 1 miniature bottle of wine, and in between I have had a 10 minute nap where he proceeded to tell me I looked like this (cue someone mouth wide open asleep looking gormless, that's a word that needs to be used more often) or that I've verbally attacked the guy behind me, look attack is strong I merely asked him to STOP KIC...

"It's just 2 blades Mum"

After nearly 2 amazing fab years of living in Australia we decided it was time to fly back to the UK (plus the trip was paid for and we had to go back within the 2 years, but nevertheless) our lovely friend Lex was due to pick us up at 3pm, we had a slight wobble 20 minutes before when Sean started shrieking “We have to book in Mad by 3pm”. “Oh ok” I tell him. All of a sudden our calm lazy Sunday waiting and chilling for Lex drastically became a shrieking match and frantic googling “latest check ins” “Qantas telephone number” and “in flight  movies” (well I was curious). We finally concluded that we were ok we had until 3.40pm to check in. Yay us. Still shrieking and Sean checking his watch every 3 seconds we got to the airport on time, baggage checked and that all important question asked “do you have spare or loose batteries” “no, of course we don’t” but no that’s not true “I do” a little voice pipes up. Ob is then asked to get said batteries and put in his hand luggage. We wave...
