According to one of my work colleagues, she was paid on friday and I haven’t received a single coin. I don’t know if I should activate panic mode. I assume everyone will be paid on the same day.
I've been at work since Thursday 26th september to Friday and started on Thursday 3rd October, I think it was because I didn't activate my account that they use to upload pay slips etc. But I texted my manager to say I didn't activate it because a) I wasn't notified to say there is a link to click on and b) I wouldn't click on any link. I think they do calculate by hours that you do, those who have worked on the day that I started get paid as well and according to the contract, it is weekly.
You could tell him to keep his eyes closed. Not uncommon in unconscious bodies. Or you could approach him with the steth in one hand and a rubber hammer in the other and tell him you'll make things a bit more realistic if he doesn't start behaving like an unconscious body.
If it fails you can at least suffer your headaches together afterwards.
Paintwork was poor when I got it. So I’ve covered the worst bits with vinyl Raven stickers! Husbeast polished it once and poor cat was slithering all over the placeOoh that poor paint work.
Love the claws, hope the head is betterI will be changing my avatar shortly too, as I use this current one on my Facebook account sometimes. The green circle is the Loop logo.

In other news, Libre sensor failed at just five days in, although my MiaoMiao/Spike rig is still reading it. Sadly the calibration seems to have drifted and I woke on an indicated 4.6 - tested as I felt wobbly and it came back as a 2.8 Hey ho, all part of D-life! Three dextrose tabs and a cheeky peanut butter sandwich (see, I am human after all) for which I’ve now insulinated, and all is good. Back to rehearsing for my practical exams in a couple of weeks. I’ve borrowed a resuscitation doll and the ventilation gear so can practice to my heart’s content at home. There’s certain things we have to make sure we not only do, but verbalise, so I’ve written a sort of script to run through. Complete with laminated picture of a defibrillator and a selection of ECG rhythms to interpret.
I’ve also got to practice my “secondary survey” skills but need an unconscious body for that - husband is willing to let me practice on him but seems to find it hard to remain professional I only have to wave my stethoscope at him and he gets that glint in his eye Flattering but not helpful
Bit of a post hypo headache now, so will chuck some nurofen down my neck and crack on, much as I’d like to wallow on the sofa with my book. Catch you later x
And ... yesterday was a Unicorn Day according to my Libre. I stayed in range all day (actually for more than 36 hours) and very pleased to report that I achieved it whilst eating a flapjack, cheese scones, fish baps and a packet of crisps. Actually, that was a high carb day for me but no sign of insulin resistance - something some people (not here) seem to delight in highlighting that having type 1 does not prohibit.
