# I work for the NHS.
I have to fart around rearranging furniture on the Titanic,
because some genius in a boardroom decides they don't want
to pay for services they have no concept of done by people they'll
never meet or speak to. So they give it to people who can't do it.

# I just turned down a job in the NHS this morning
...though not really because I have anything against it (despite my missus working for it so I know some of the fuckwittery they can get up to).

# NHS Scotland is a glorious place filled with wonderment and
fairness and very little private involvement (ish)...

this is ANOTHER reason why everyone I like should move to SCOTLAND.

Scotland: it's just better!

# ... probably not more so than, say,
Bolton or Southampton... or Liverpool. And you don't HAVE to eat it.... The Scots are also especially skilled with offal!

... the best meal I've ever had in my life was in a restaurant in Leith, cooked by a Scottish bloke and not deep fried.

# Are you sure?
I'm pretty certain that wolfing down a munchy box is mandatory as soon as you cross the border.

# you're thinking of the border into Fife
... the Dark Side of the Fourth... we don't go there (I once had almost exactly that in a place in Leven... god I was drunk!)

I'm just thankful that general vegetarianism keeps me out of these culinary scrapes.

I already wondered where our temporary king of the stats board went

# he's an assistant psychologist
which is the first step towards being a clinical psychologist. Which is a pretty big fucking thing IMHO.

# That sucks and I sympathise with you

I know how it feels.

You could either think: fuck it, they're paying me for this, I'm not responsible for the big picture, my collegues are not all war criminals, the grass isn't greener etc.
That, or find something you really like doing.

# I don't suppose you have a contract that says you can't

So I suppose you can if you really want to.

What's your job and why do you want to quit it?

# Then quit and stop bitching.
it's not tricky, walk to your boss now and repeat these words: "hi boss/cunt/fishwife, i'm gonna hand in my notice, won't be back. hate this job and nothing you say/do will change that. unless you wanna fill the place with teenage strippers and quadruple my pay."

It really aint hard. i just quit mine, i'm heading to Italy for the summer, working on campsites, then Germany for the winter working a ski-resort, then bali next year to do TEFL. can't fucking wait!!!
