cannot sleep and work in 3 hours....
- Thread starter Phate
- Start date
As a dispatcher, i'm on NHS band 4, atm my pay is 17k+25% so around 22k.
Intense isn't the word sometimes, last night we have double our normal workload for a Saturday (over 2000 incidents) and we struggled to get breaks done for both us and the crews, my normal role is Radio, so you have to be on your toes taking shouts from crews, as well as making sure jobs are allocated, but the Commander for the control room bought us all Pizza, so it wasn't all bad
As horrible as it is taking the calls....it sounds like a good job!
its 25 past 5....
Lay off the charlie tbh
Damn, busted.
Now share it around
Seriously though, I hate that feeling when you just can't sleep - it makes the day at work drag so much as you're basically a spaced-out zombie all day
Ja, not looking forward to today....so much to do. gash
It's called the teflon-shoulders trick
Know that one well...I did used to work in a London office you know
There is a fine art to passing the buck
Nothing like the feeling of palming something off to someone else, just so you can sod off to the bog to roll out a five curler completely stress-free
Where are you working now - closer to home and out of the smoke?
Haha so true, best one "you know dude, I WOULD sort this one out, but I really feel you are the man for the job"
"but.."
"knew I could count on you"

Working in Kent now doing all sorts of IT support, still venture to central London reguarly though
The tiredness hit me at about 5:30, Zombified a about 6:30 then I had some red bull and all is \o/
Red bull is a good idea, however! My car is blocked in by my mums bfs pointlessly big Nissan truck, gah. Gotta wait till he gets up.
Phate - isn't that commute a bit of a nightmare?
25mins...but through the black wall tunnel. I do about half a tank of fuel through there
Well fortunately the work so far has been during the day so I've managed to avoid it.....its usually chock and block thoughOuch - do you stagger your working hours to avoid all the inevitable pile-ups and congestion in the mornings and evenings? I've spent far too many hours stuck waiting at that bloody place when working with a mate
Zombie mode starting to kick in now...
