Hello!
Yes it's been a while since i last blogged, but life got hectic and things have finally just started to settle down so i decided to get back into my blogging, not i think anyone missed me.. but still its therapeutic getting things out there and off your chest sometimes.
So bloggers what has been going on for you guys?
I'll start with what I've been up to, so i finally managed to get myself a job in the NHS (Scotland) i know it sounds daft but its such a hard place to get employed into unless your a nurse obv, but im not so it was quite hard to get into it, its took me a year since graduating to get myself into it finally.
I've been there 3 weeks so far and well to be honest its not what i was expecting, but i'll stick with it in the hope it gets better as i know things take time.
However in me saying it's okay i know that no matter where you go, sometimes even being qualified you still start at the bottom, so the only way is up right?
Oh yeah so i'm a Biomedical Scientist, fancy title, nothing special. Im hoping to use this job to get myself into the Pathology department as i think this is where i want to be, i say that but if i get there i might hate it so ill keep my options open when it comes to it.
Having started to work in a hospital laboratory you really do see it all, and some days it makes me sad when you see what some people are suffering and you feel bad for moaning that i'm cold.
I enjoy it though, i feel like i meet people even though i dont i just deal with their samples, but you sort of learn their story as you do this, and you see some gorgeous names, i know this sounds ridiculous, but just seeing how names have changed over the years is really nice and how unusual some people's names are it just always makes me smile, also when i see people who are like 97 im like OMG cause seeing someone born in 1915 just seems so crazy to me but its so nice to see them still going :)
As im not settled into any department i do wee bits in them all, and on Friday i had my first day in the Mortuary, and i know this is going to sound like i am a complete weirdo (i promise im not a mass murderer/weirdo) i actually really really enjoyed it, it was not at all what i was expecting, i think too much CSI/NCIS has corrupted my mind haha, it was all just very normal and there was no stainless steel in sight which was quite disappointing, and the major thing i found was that it didnt smell, not even slightly, i thought it would smell of Formaldehyde or something but it smelt of absolutely nothing, i was astounded.
So anyway, I got down to it and went to work at the mortuary and it was honestly such a good experience, i get that its not for everyone and i guess you need to be a certain type of person to be able to deal with it, but i take all positives from it i dont find it creepy or weird, i actually find it really nice.
I take the stance that once someone passes away people often just see it as thats it, they have gone.
its actually not at all like that a lot happens in the mortuary and i think they do a really important job.
I like to think that the job they do is quite critical and also they make your realitves and family ready for you to see, ( if you see them in the hospital before the funeral home) which is important as no one wants to see someone they love in an awful state, therefore making someone presentable to their family for one last time is important and i think people forget sometimes, and just giving someone a little bit of love before they pass on to another place is a nice thing, they are still a human and they still deserve respect.
so anyway getting off the death chat i enjoyed it and i hope the job only gets better :)
Also still working at Debenhams which is still good, love my discount haha :)
Still see my friends, go out for dinner with my Fav <3 and yeah life is getting there!
Plus its Autumn and winter is coming, best time of the year!! here's to birthdays, halloween, bonfire night, christmas and new year!!
:)
anyway im back bloggers so let me know whats been going on!

Welcome to the working world....
So I officially started Work on Monday and had my second day today. Monday was just induction day and company policy and stuff. So far though Debenhams seems like a really nice place to work.
Got my uniform and my name badge, is it sad that i've always kinda wanted a name badge? haha.
It's just black trousers with my top and my fleece or just a black cardigan if i want. Comfy and cosy.
So far everything is going good, everyone is really nice, and I'm in the home department and it's really nice and the people are lovely and willing to help me out, but there's actually so much to remember already, pin numbers for all the stock rooms and how to work things etc but i'll get there.
Today was till training today, my gosh talk about being threw in at the deep end, so much to remember in 4 hours ..... but hopefully they will put me on in quiet days and then i can go at my own pace and learn it and get it all right.
Tomorrow is my first actual shift. Eeek, i'm on 11-3 then i have a oyal mail interview at 3.45 talk about timing. Ahhh stress stress stree but i'll manage it somehow!!
anyway looking forward to working in debenham, so if you ever pop in to the Ek one drop by the home department and say Hello :)

Employment Luck!!
Can't believe my luck today, after being so happy at having gotten a Christmas job at Debenhams, i now have another interview. Yey. This time it's for the Royal Mail again only temporary to cover the Christmas period!
Actually cannot believe my luck as last year i applied for everything going and got absolutely nowhere with it. But now i have an interview for Next Wednesday! I know i already have my job at debenhams, butit's only 16 hours which is 4 hours/over 4 days and to be honest with birthday and christmas coming up i could use more, so i thought why not just go to the interview. The royal mail interview is for night work and this would be perfect as it wouldn't interfere with my job at debenhams and i could use the extra money to get my family and best friend much nicer presents!! :)
so happy to have another interview, fingers crossed it goes well and i soon will have two jobs and some extra pennies!
Yey.

Bank Aide/NHS
this is just a post about work/job related stuff, sorry to be boring!!
I'm looking to get into the BankAide scheme so i can get some shifts in the hospital labs but i'm having absolutely no luck with getting anyone or anywhere i've e-mail bank several times and i just get dry replies with the whole "refer to NHS jobs"
aye i have done that i signed up to job alerts but nothing is coming up and so i wanted intot he bank scheme so i could build up some experience and some money too, i've also enquired about voluntary work and just general how to go about getting experience but no one is willing to help me out.
I have an honours degree in Biomedical Science but i need to do my training for a year before i get on the HPC and therefore i need experience or somewhere to do this portfolio thing to become registered and fully qualified and start work in any area. I've asked about and i understand that trainee positions for Biomeds are pretty rare now but jeezo man does no one remember how they started we all need a chance i'm looking for one, i've even applied for jobs below what i'm qualified for already and still i get knocked back i know jobs are scarce and it's a dog eat dog world but still some feedback or something would be appreciated.
Does anyone work in the health sector?
I think i'm going to have to look into work down England as they seem to have more jobs available on the NHS than what Scotland does..
I've even been up to wishaw and monklands hospital to enquire and the receptionist at wishaw just was an arse good job the plastic was between us or i'd have smashed her for her down right attitude. Monklands were slightly more helpful but still they couldn't do much because you have to be NHS registered or on this stupid bank scheme to get into work nowadays whereas a few years ago i could have just went and asked.
Jeeeeez.
someone gimme a job eh?
