Three Month Appraisal Thingy.

BOSS:"Well, look, you've been here for a bit now. Let's just go into my lair, sorry, office, for a little chat. How do you think you're getting on?"

ME:"Yeah, not bad. Let's face it, I almost quit after three weeks, so yeah, it's got a lot better."

BOSS:"Excellent! How do you feel about setting up and running a proper Medicines Information service, becoming our paediatric pharmacist blokey, doing our Cardiac Club talk every month, rewriting our gentamicin calculations, getting aseptically trained, and dealing with all our HEC* enquiries?"

ME:"Fucking hell, I should have opted for mental health when I had the chance. Am I going to see any extra money for this?"

BOSS:"HAHAHAHAHAHA"

*HEC= Hospital Exceptional Circumstances. Where we have to lie, sorry, fabricate, sorry, bend the truth to try and get a drug funded that is not normally funded. Filling in one of these forms is kind of like doing a tax return, in terms of creative accounting.
