The Grumble Thread - No energy for a full on rant.

It's also worth doing in case you find you have damaged yourself when the adrenaline wears off. It should keep HR off your back if it was a recorded work injury.

[Ruthie]

Yeah, good point.

[mcshroom]

At least you have witnesses if required

A very long time ago, I marched rapidly onto a wet patch on Ward 3 at the LGI, taking flight and landing on my well padded bum.

This was witnessed by Sister, who insisted on filling out the Accident Book and a trip to A&E.

Can never see "Sister" in a hospital context without remembering Hattie Jacques.



I remember what was done with the daffodil, too.

I think nurses still wore caps then.
Sister was a Large Lady...

Funny, though: our local Super U (as in Unilever) recently degraded their standard bogroll to Breakthrough Level 2: use doubled or suffer the consequences.  Maybe there's a covert war on to dominate Europe's derrières.

Nowt to do with Unilever except as a customer.

Just lost my job. Bugger. Not good timing.

Also, I've got the snot and the GP has used me as a pin-cushion but failed to draw blood, so I'm not in the best of moods.

It doesn't help that doctors tend to be poor at taking blood, compared to nurses.

Indeed.  I've got difficult veins, so tend to ask for the most senior nurse ("you know, the one you're all a bit scared of") in blood-letting / cannula insertion situations.  But I was there already for prescription jibble and it would have saved everyone time if she'd managed to get some blood there and then.  I'm not squeamish, just bruised.

In and out this morning with less-senior nurse in under two minutes.  She found the vein on the first attempt, with no digging around.

Ugbear, sorry to hear that, but also there is never, really, a good time to lose your job.

Good luck with the job hunting.

Bugger indeed.

Good point, but there is a "less bad" time - new mortgage completion date is in a couple of weeks, plus I promised the divorce solicitor she would be paid by the end of March.... Bah!

Ouch!,

Industry and location? it's not been unknown for the yacf network to result in employment opportunities.

When people with the job title "Cost Transformation Analyst" start asking you to explain how your job works it's not a good sign...... :-(

[Cudzoziemiec]

Anybody with the job title "Cost Transformation Analyst" should very probably be ashamed of themselves. But that doesn't help you. Sorry.

[Canardly]

PO sorry to hear your news hope you are sorted out asap. At least employment ops are on the up.

Probably a lean systems bod looking at cutting out non added value activities, eleminating duplication etc. Not necessarily something to be unduly concerned about. Customer interface is usually a key area with service organisations.

I expect that sentence makes sense to someone.

You probably have to be a Cost Transformation Analyst to appreciate it.

My team has gone well beyond "Lean", more like bloody anorexic.....

Eliminating duplication ?   There were 2 of the buggers!

Shakespeare got it wrong.   The first thing we do, let's kill all the bean counters....

[Ruthie]

Fell over while trying to sit down today.

How come I'm so clumsy?   

[mcshroom]

Perhaps it's just the floor really likes you at the moment. 

Nothing hurt but pride I hope

or downsized, as they never seem to realise they are the excess staffing.
