• the funny pills I get with my coffee

Good
The people

Flexible hours - coffee, cake and chat with friends over a leisurely lunchtime

Bad
Have been going through redundancies since last October, still got months of it to go.
Waiting to hear about my voluntary redundancy application has been accepted, all current applications have been put on hold fpr several weeks, so that if offered one of the two jobs I've had interviews for then I can take one of them up with a nice little redundancy nest egg.

Good:

• Stress free
• Lovely people and environment
• Food and drink at student prices
• Have a job!
• Fits in well with work/life balance

Bad:

• Not intellectually stretching
• Boring elements
• Shit commute
• Paid per hour/hours vary greatly

good - 4am starts

bad - 4am starts

Good

• Hours are pretty flexible - it's more about getting stuff doen than beig there 9-5
• Intellecually stimulating
• Reasonably well paid (well it's better paid than what I've done before)
• Potential to travel to conferences
• Dealing with people

Bad

• Within this field people often end up working longer hours than they're contracted and due to flexibility this isn't monitored - it's just expected.
• High performance expectations 
• People can be a pain to deal with! 
• Bureaucracy
• Short term contract 

Good:

• location of office, 1.5 miles from home

Bad:

• everything else

But not long now...

Bad:

After 14 years, they have just made me redundant.

Good:

Similarly

bad: I don't have one

good: I don't have one!

 Good

 - Dealing with people

 - 35 days annual leave (plus Bank Holidays)

 - a decent pension (for the time being anyway)

 - some early starts, 06:00, which also mean leaving by 14:30 (but not enough of them)

- showers in changing rooms, & lots of towels for when i run there

- staff discount in the canteen (& half-decent food in it! nowadays)

 - lots of lovely young ladies in Nurses uniforms

 - free Physio advice!

 - if you're ill at work, you generally get to see the Consultant, or Registrar
(a few years ago, I had my nose broken by a patient. The A&E Consultant initially dealt with me, then got on the phone for the ENT Consultant to attend, & a Consultant Radiologist to report the films!!)

Bad

 - dealing with 'scrotes' (young/old, male/female)

- crap pay

 - too many layers of management (but hey!!, it's the NHS)

- paying for a parking permit (for the odd days that I go in car) with no guarantee of a space

 - too many afternoon shifts

 - lots of crap shift start times (07:30, 08:00, 09:00, 10:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00)
