I handed in a week's notice at my current, new place yesterday. Going to be a long week next week. :lol:

 

Got offered a PT job yesterday after my interview in the morning, a bit different, hopefully a bit more laid back and on my doorstep I'm really hoping this is it and I can just get on with my life.

Good luck man

I am currently waiting for an offer to land from a new gaff. I've got a fucking 3 months notice and I know these cunts here will want me to work it all.

I've been made redundant six times by closure, I'm just trying to even the score which I reckon I've done. See how they like it? :good:

Urghh. Back to work. Is this the return to work after Xmas break the worst day of the year? Actually I think I read its the week after, when you're balls deep in January, its cold and dark, you're skint and still have ages until the next pay day, cunts like Musk and Trump and Farage haven't died overnight, and you've probably tea total as well so can't take the edge of it. Going to spend the rest of the day just getting ready for next week proper at work which I'm dreading. 

At least I don't have to take down my Xmas avatar. Ho ho ho. Ahhh shit, still got the decorations to take down though.

I was supposed to be back today then realised my flight over to the match was earlier than I thought so the return to work isn’t until Monday and the Christmas avatar is staying.

I was "in" yesterday - took till ten for the year's first "This data is wrong" and my reply with "No it isn't, this is why, and attached is the evidence so fuck off* exchange ( note" fuck off" was sadly sanitised) .

*If by "at work" you mean logged on in the home office, doing fuck all.

There is market failure for a lot of new treatments nowadays for various reasons and as such we do need to think out if the box how development companies are reimbursed otherwise there will be no new drugs for those patient groups. We've already seen this with antibiotics and as a result we are pretty close to an "end of medicine" catastrophic situation. No antibiotics, no surgery. 

 

Reminds me of a time I gave a lecture arguing that for many conditions the most cost effective treatment was a gun. It was meant as a joke but there is actually some truth in it, it's just the way we assess cost effectiveness. Kill patients you remove all life benefits but also all there healthcare costs. Anyway, the lecture wasn't well received.

That's what I mean, there is no one size fits all in Pharma. Companies need to also be incentivised to treat or cure rare conditions but need to be reimbursed.

 

Ozempic is an interesting one mind. I've lost as much weight by changing my diet as an average Ozempic user over the same time period in the last 6 months. Not everyone can do that though. Problem is, if you reserve this treatment for the most obese only, it creates a perverse moral hazard where people will deliberately become morbidly obese to qualify for the drug on the NHS. Health economics is full of such quandaries.

It's rife on the private market. I know a shit load of nurses/doctors who do Botox on the side and are now chucking out Ozempic scripts outwith NICE guidance on minimum BMIs.

 

Ive dropped about 16lbs in 4 months through diet and exercise and i'm 42, so it can be done if people could be arsed.

Aye, so it becomes a lifestyle drug for those who can afford it. Far from ideal.
