nurses
Coming to the end of my mental health nurse training, i have worked with a wide variety of staff, most of whom it can be said are really nice, friendly people.
Not 'X'. When i first arrived at my practical placement, a community mental health team, (assertive outreach if anyone is interested), I was let into the building and shown to the kitchen to make myself a hot drink. Walked into the kitchen - a small group of ladies was gathered around the kettle spraffing on about their diets. cheerily introducing myself as the new student I was met with.....
silence. feeling a bit awkward I made a coffee and went to the office.
Things did not get better. my mentor 'X', a late 20's lady with ample bulges and clothes several sizes too small seemed to take an instant dislike to me from day one, mostly low level ignoring type shit(and yes she had been in the kitchen) but the rest of the team were ok, so I didn't really care. I'm a diligent student and knew I would pass - any real shit off her and I would have called in the union and the university for a complaint el pronto.
She really was a fuckwit though. Her and the admin staff, (the kitchen mafia) were all on 'diets', which seemed to mean scoff all the cakes you can, then not eat (at all) the day of flab fighters,(Thursday) being miserable cunts and generally making the place nice and cheery - not.
I very quickly decided that Thursday was the day i would buy VERY nice cakes and share them around the team, struggling to hide my amusement as I noticed the greedy glint in the eyes of 'X' and her admin buddies, (much like the look in the eye of a sailor on shore leave) as they would refuse the cakes, it being flab fighters day.
Talk about self deluding.
