I went in to work on Boxing Day full of head-aids
and was told not to come back until NYE. I was still a bit head-aidsy then, but not as bad.

I guess it doesn't look good working in a healthcare environment when you're coughing your guts up and snotting all over your patients.

My employer is actually pretty good when it comes to 'I really can't be fucked' days. Rather than pulling a sickie, you can request 'Me Time' leave, which is unpaid, but gives you the option of a day off when you can't face the world.

That too.
Do you work with old people?

Only at home.
The majority of our patients are over forty, though.

Can you get hold of any pharmaceuticals that may have recreational use?

If you have a specific type of home office licence for your research lab
it's a piece of piss.

However, they are considerably more expensive than "street" so what's the point?

Also you have to explain why you want them and what you've done with them, and "giving fruitflies fucktons of bugle for shits and giggles" only works two or three times with the MRC, in my experience.

Yeah, one of my pharmacists was teaching me about access to CDs
and said you can actually get coke and heroin on prescription, if you have a legitimate research reason or something.

we don't get them on prescription as such
they are just in the Sigma catalogue, same as any other chemicals. You just need a special licence to buy them. Same for buying ethanol without paying duty, which anyone in tissue culture needs.

I dunno what the "legitimate reseach reason" was for the 3 kg of rohyphol I found clearing out a lab at my old place, but it was a fucking good weekend, I tell you.
