HOPEX

mumbler will be doing six months of general medicine at the chalet hospital. she's hoping that she'll be given a chance to do cardio or geri, which is the whole point of choosing a six month posting. the grand ol' dame was her first choice, but it apparently goes to the best of the best (those posted there are like med shens) and since chalet hospital is so near her place, she doesn't really mind.

whatever the case, in this economic situation, she is more than happy to have a job that is secure. the first line of her contract says, "we are pleased to confirm our offer to employ you as a House Officer...on a six year contract term." there are so many articles and interviews in the papers about fresh grads having to lower their pay expectations by a fifth, taking on part time jobs, or not even getting a job interview, so that line is indeed very precious!

and some bimbotic comments: firstly, she loves her mcr no (read in her dialect it is both harmonious and auspicious!) and secondly, she loves the pretty lanyard she bought from montip! now, to find a nice bag and to phase out her wardrobe!
