ahhaha that's awesome. I should have been thrown out as well to be honest. What did you do to get you thrown out?

I have a lot of memory blanks but I do recall spending a lot of the night wandering round in a drunken haze spilling wine everywhere and aimlessly switching between groups of people I knew. As soon as we got out I fell on my arse and spent a long time walking round trafalgar square with a certain hockey person. I remember you walking past me at one point and I may have misheard but it sounded like you muttered something like "I love rowing" at me and walked off. I didn't understand. :p:

I FEEL AWFUL. Wine hangovers are disgusting.


This girl I was with and I were thrown out for getting a bit overfamiliar at the bar. :colondollar:

Hahaha RT? :rofl:

That's quite possible, I do love rowing. I was wearing white jeans last night and they are covered in that digusting red wine. Bad times. :frown:

OH I saw that (I don't think it was possible not to see it :p:) . You were getting very familiar indeed :p: Oh dear.

Yes RT. I woke up sprawled on a chair in his halls. Nothing happened to clarify :p:, we don't actually know why I was there.

The wine was grim. I downed it all though. Then followed it with double vodkas. Why did I think that was a good idea?

At least this time I didn't have to be taken home in a taxi by people I didn't know like at the winter ball :colondollar:

P.S. I think it's fair to say we're all massive messes and we probably should drink less. But I say this all the time, and I never drink less.

In other news, my foundation trust has sent me a EWTD opt-out form, ostensibly with the aim of saying that if I want to do locums I have to sign it. However, if I do, I guess the trust would shaft me with a rota to fit. They is a two week cancelling notice though....

Any thoughts? I'd like the opportunity for locum work....



My FY1 trust did the same - I signed it with the rationale:

- New Deal still exists - look it up if that means nothing to you.

- In an 'emergency' (<48hours notice) you'd be expected/duty-of-a-doctory-obliged to cover anyway if needed & it would be exceptional so they'd probably give lieu time to work it out over the huge number of weeks EWTD applies to.

- They can't just magically change the rota to increase it for everyone because not everyone will sign, doing it would be fiendishly complicated & you have hours monitoring so it would cost the trust directly more money (they're the ones who pay the banding supplement)

I didn't end up doing any locumming for them but I didn't get shafted in any other way as a consequence. Haven't been asked to sign one in FY2 job.



In my other news... people from home are moving onto baby number 2 now. I feel a bit ridiculously-long-degree stunted. :redface:

I've met plenty in my practice who are my age and on at least number 4 or more!

I've got to admit I love playing with the babies when they come to clinic, but I still quite like having my own life for now...

People from home are more people like me than just random population though. :tongue: :wink:

I am an Aunt again (as of last week) so perhaps I should get some practise in... I don't really do the playing with babies in surgery though!

Fair point. I don't really keep up with people from school, but AFAIK all the babies that have happened have been by accident, so I don't really feel like my Life Plan (TM) is too far behind. Though beckoning unemployment may change that...
SSC finished. Oh yes.

Whenever I do that I end up with like an entirely purple circle, with one of my options as the title and a purple box with the number 1 next to it.
And... second essay of the day completed. I'm on fire.

okay this also failed

although I do get the options down the side just no pie chart to correlate with them.

ffs wish I had actually paid attention in IT at school. though I'm sure I knew how to do this once upon a time.

I am - as will have many others - what's up?



Hi there, just a tad confused about the admin side of things - can you get a student loan? Is it the same amount as the normal yearly uni fees? And when go back into Medicine, do the rise in tuition fees apply?

Thanks :smile: also if you did a lab based component in your BSc, how hard is it to get into the lab side of things? Bit worried at my incompetency as don't really get a lot of practise in Medicine :tongue:
