Anna says goodbye.....
Hi Friday peops,
Day late cos I had a bit of an accident on the way to bed last night and due to the bloody mess and throbbing .... more later on what I think may be the first accident of this kind.......
Had a good week at work - tying up loose ends and also a couple of days in the new job - start proper next week.
I drove them bonkers - as always - all week passing through various orifices and clinics asking them if they'd signed my leaving card and contributed to my leaving gift - they just thought I was being cheeky - cos originally I wasn't supposed to be leaving til September. I hate big 'do's' though and made sure I didn't get one of those false send offs with false speeches - cos I threatened to 'out' a few of the buggers who have given me a hard time - I still did it - but on a smaller scale.... you can't peak too soon eh? Quite satisfying - and funny to see some open mouths :-O when I was 'open and honest' ..... wouldn't have me any other way ;-)

My boss Liz arranged for a few people to turn up in the office - think the Town Hall had already been double-booked - and it was nice saying goodbye to some of them..... nuff said. I was welcomed to the World of 'senior management' by someone who has just climbed up the threadbare ropeladder of NHS management -being short anyway has not quite got over the extra height yet - I pointed out that this new job was hopefully my route back to the real world - not senior management - the wards - somewhere that particular 'senior' manager has never worked :-/
Photos of the throng - and Jim - my secret chocolate supplier - I'll be a size 8 now!! I had some very thoughtful presents tho so they must have had a collection ;-) and did get a bit emotional - having thought back to the last few jobs I've had where my line managers have been rather dubious, it felt a bit daft leaving behind the best one I've ever had - even if this is a great opportunity - so when I mentioned to the gathered throng my eyes started leaking!
I recall a job that I walked out of after 3 months cos the GP was a harridan (still is) and when I went back the next day to collect my personal belongings the Practice Manager told me I was trespassing and threatened to call the police - sad ol' World eh? Then another who evicted me from the desk I'd been sat at for two years and told me I'd got to find somewhere to work because a finance manager was being employed and he was more important than I was.....and of course not forgetting the very first time I was made redundant from the Liver Unit - and told in the corridor in passing "Oh you were right Kim... you're job has gone in the new structure...." There are more but it's boring - but it does make it difficult trying to find referees when you apply for new jobs when half the buggers you've left behind you wouldn't want to be associated with! Good ol' NHS eh!! Caring profession...
I'm dead excited about next week though - can't wait to see which 'rule' I break in the new office... I'll let you know next week. The ward gang at Moseley seem a good bunch - so I can't wait.
I'm supposed to be going for a bimble tomorrow but am having trouble getting shoes on after my electric toothbrush attacked me last night - YES TRUE! I wonder if it is the first ever toothbrush accident? I picked it out of my bathroom cupboard and the heavy battery base became parted from the brush and before I knew it had headed like a dart for my little pinkie! Blood everywhere - looked like a chainsaw massacre in the bathroom! It's not any better tonight - still very swollen and tender and not liking shoes - so I'm flip flopping around today hoping it gets a bit better cos I don't want to miss a 'girlie' catch up with my pals Fiona and Anna :-/
Hope you all have a good weekend - what's left of it
Love
Kimmie xx
Off to watch the final of 'The Apprentice' now - hope your weekend was a good un
