I'd never claim to deal well with heat...

[pyoor_excuse]

But this is taking the piss:

That's our back room. In the sun.

This is my 'office', or the room of melting Kates:

Dear god it's hot here. Far to hot. Look, even Aroha is wilting.

I should be working, but trying to get my brain even remotely into gear is like trying to pour treacle out of a fine bore tube. I've actually had a pretty good day - I think - I've been in charge of the bay again; and actually done a fair job of running things. Of course, I got to hand over and I didn't know how high someone's high potassium is (silly Kate); and there's a couple of people who's histories are a bit messy on the hand over sheet - and I fluffed'em a bit. But hey, I'm not yet registered. And if I don't get these assignments written I won't be.

Please, please make it less hot.

I actually had something intelligent to say when I left work; oh, aye, I was going to wave people's noses at this - which I'm studiously not going to comment on - except to suggest that you might then want to go here.

*sighs*

Still, incidentally, looking for a job. Should anyone need a nurse I'm your girl.

Well, if you can't go to Canada for a while yet, you might want to try Ireland for a bit? I heard that they have a ridiculously low unemployment rate at the moment, like 3%, and are taking tons of people to fill jobs. Particularly health care.

It's starting to enter into my conciousness as a concept. I'm looking at Scotland as it is... which may not seem far to Americans, but to a UKian the idea of moving to one of the other countries in our little group of islands is quite a big step.

[inspector-81.livejournal.com]

It seems like plenty of a big step to me, but you've already decided to go as far as Canada... so relatively speaking... I thought it might be with in your comfort zone for relocation?

[pyoor_excuse]

Not sure. Irelands not as free as here, I'm kind of used to being an out lesbian - I don't think it'd go down so well over there... In fact, from my ex Aisling I *know* things aren't as good over there...

Add to this that isn't Ireland more expensive generally than the UK?

[pyoor_excuse]

It is indeed. But if they'll *employ me*...

Move to Scotland, I need an excuse to visit the country :D And it'd hardly be that big a deal, it's not like you'd be moving to a different state.

Though if you moved to the Republic that would be weird weird weird...

Don't go to Northern Ireland. Really.

Then again there's allways Wales... You could bring up your Welsh ancestry :)

Well, if they give me a job I'll move. Ring the A&E there and tell 'em to give me a job. I've had no luck at all ringing them....

Moving to the ROI doesn't appeal quite so much, I remember what you said about being out there - and ...mmm

[lingmops.livejournal.com]

This is true, best avoid countries where all the medical facilities are run by the catholic church...

It's hot here too, but I deal with it rather well. The 3 AC units in the apartment help too :)

[pyoor_excuse]

It's a lot cooler today, thus saving me from having to buy Aircon. And my 1930's desk fan is remarkably nice.... One day I'll make it look as nice as it is :-)

You should watch out for heat-stroke yadda yadda yadda - I know your a nurse and you know but I have to say it!

[pyoor_excuse]

Drunk plenty. About (lots of) litres

Incidentally in an un-heat-related thought should we be making up cards for telephone boxes saying 'If you need a nurse I'm your girl'?
