Working for the NHS: Pros & Cons

Posted by Mister JTA on November 12th, 2009 | 5 comments

Pros:

1. I may get paid at some point.
2. Free shoes! And I don’t have to get shot at, or set on fire or anything. I can’t think of another job where that happens.
3. Apparently some sort of pension.

Cons:

1. Every time I catch sight of an oxygen tank out of the corner of my eye, I want to pick it up and carry it to somewhere I can explode it during a panic event. Especially if I’m heading towards a lift.
2. Working 9-5, then leaving work to go to, er, work. Elsewhere.
3. When getting tours of a hospital, it’s really hard not to keep saying “I hate stairs”…

    I hate stairs too. But you know what I don’t hate? I don’t hate vests.

    Bowling alleys? Although I can’t guarantee you won’t get shot…

    Free shoes that cut your feet to pieces and make them bleed, stupid steel toe caps. I tragically lost mine, you’ll probably find them someday in the safe place I hid them :)

    The NHS sucks, well the bits I have encountered anyways…

    Nah, the fact that they have steel toes just makes it even more awesome. Steeltoecapped shoes rock, and getting them for free is a world of Even More Awesome :-) (I have had to go up an extra size, mind, because, yes, the steel cuts down on the available toe space. But still, free shoes!)
