I can understand that totally from an older worker's perspective, but as a 23 year Old I can honestly say its been a nightmare job hunting - most places want experience and longevity.

Bleep1673 Posted May 3 Author Report Share Posted May 3 Younger persons who want to go into nursing move in to the Glamour side of it, A&E, ITU, Paediatrics, they rarely go in to elderly care, LD, Theatres, because they aren't flashed on TV enough, the only time you see theatres is on M*A*S*H, I spent 30 years working in great environments in theatres as an ODP, & made many friends.

Where I work overlaps with learning disability and our workforce is getting younger. They aren't joining for the pay, that's for sure. 1 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Bleep1673 Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Off context: I was packing photographs and I found a photo of my Mum & Dad at my 1990 wedding, she wouldv'e loved a grand daughter. I really care for my family on this website, I don't always care for your thoughts, neither do you for mine. But I love you all the same, take care.

Bleep1673 Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 I am a reasonable cook, I haven't killed anybody yet, but it took me 2 years to work out my oven & stove top settings because some brick had used a heavy scrubber to remove all the dial settings, I hope my new flat isn't that bad. It put me off cooking for a while. Except for my daughter of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted May 17 Author Report Share Posted May 17 When I move in, pictures of the sea, for those who have never seen it will follow. Its bigger than a canal, and might scare some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a proper RL fan, you'll insist on staring 100% at the car mechanics, while complaining that you don't have a view of something nicer, like the sea. 1 1 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

That's why I moved from Uxbridge. Sitting on a double roundabout, on a dual carriageway leading to Heathrow, halfway between the local fire station, & the Hospital, the sirens were driving me mental, it was only this site that kept me 75% sane.

Bleep1673 Posted May 19 Author Report Share Posted May 19 My new place is next to a building with an 1863 date on it. That's older than most, if not all, of our clubs. Swinton was formed in 1866. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
