Rant alert . . . I have a little turd at work who
is very much into his "rights." Not originally trained as a doctor, he's from a bank-managing/admin background. I am on leave for two weeks, and have been quietly watching the toing and froing of emails about on-call in my absence. The crux of it is, he won't do call this weekend beacuse he has something on, the other reg is at a wedding - something I asked be "sorted out" before I left. Bear in mind, he's had four fucking weeks off already, and wants the half week "he's entitled to" in January. By the way - he'd also like to not do the last weekend on-call, because he's moving to the country for a six month rotation. At the moment, I'm reading about how unfair it all is that MRS LEGLESS (whiny voice optional) didn't organise things when she went on leave (despite having done 1 and 1/2 times more on-call than him), how we are not behaving professinally and transparently. About how his fucking lifestyle and how he has a family and child (and I'm going to make damned sure he's on Christmas and December is a hell of a month for him) and he wants to see them. Wake up sunshine, you're in surgical training now, not a fucking office full of whingers who go home at 5**

I'm not going to start on "back in my day", but . . . back in my day the junior regs (as in first year, like this yokel) took the shit and didn't complain; you will NOT get all you leave, you will not always have that precious long weekend to see someone interstate, and you damned well better not try and dump me in the shit when I'm 300 km away - because I hold the totals for the on-call to date, and you don't come out looking too good, squire - lowest on-call numbers of everyone, including the unaccredited reg.




Sigh . . . that felt good.



** May not actually reflect the working hours in a typical office - I'm sure you guys work pretty hard too.

Have you seen how much time we spend on b3ta?
What on earth makes you think we're hard working?

You multitask?

good answer.
I certainly multitask - I'm extremely adept at flicking between /board, /links, and /qotw

I now have the theme tune to "The Young Doctors" going through my head
at least it's not the theme tune to "Sons and Daughters". Oh crap.

mmm
we have to do on call at my job, we simply do the rota for the year in Jan, and if you need to do something on your on-call you ask someone nicely to swap, if no-one can swap then tough shit.
It is part of the job, and if the weasel isn't pulling his weight then its time for a nice brimming with management sit down appraisal to talk through his workload and dedication to the job I reckon

Heh
On a Friday I can have up to 4 at work, depending on what I've done on the Thursday night.

Parp.

I watch Grey's Anatomy
Send him to the Pit and then sack him because his job has been lost in the merger with Mercy West.
