UPDATE

Hi Everyone,
I promised to update you on how my new job was going so here it is !

The actual job is going very well, i enjoy it and the days go quickly. My work colleagues are very nice. I deal with the porters & cleaners time sheets, laundry standing orders & queries, blood & pharmacy ad-hoc deliveries, non urgent ambulance requests, collating the monthly report for the managers, taking minutes at meetings and loads of other things.

But blimey after being there for just only two months you find out what's really going on! No one likes the main boss & most people are looking for new jobs! Apparently people who do my job and my line managers job don't usually last very long in them! My line managers only been in the job since January. The main boss is a tosser. He thinks he's upper middle class but was dragged up in Kingstanding. He doesn't know the correct way to manage people and I've witnessed him telling people off (when he's in the wrong) in front of everyone. He's never done anything towards me and luckily he's got his own office away from us all but I think he wants me to be his PA. There's no way I'd be his PA for the money they're paying me. They have already cottoned on that I'm a good worker and are trying to put more work on me that's not in my job description. I've told them I want more money if they're going to do that. Also the lady who interviewed me has just handed in her notice 'cos of the main boss. I've started looking for another job. I'm not going to do anything hasty (like I've done before :o( I'm going to let the job agencies know I'm looking and see what they come up with.

I hope you lot out there are ok. When are we all going for another drink? I miss you all very much. Everytime I watch the IT Crowd I think of you lot !!

All the best
