Shout out to The Big Storm for giving me enough small talk ammunition to get through my hairdresser appointment today 🙏

Christmas day mildly derailed by my Christmas Eve 24hr on call pretty much being a full 24hrs at work 🫠 delightful christmas vibes

BYOB, throw some paint at a blank canvas, have an excellent time

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the shortest day and then it will slowly but surely start to get lighter ☀️

The only thing 24hr on calls are teaching me as a CT1 is that I'm probably cool with not becoming a consultant if being a consultant means doing them for the rest of my career.

Same, microwave, same.

Me: I'm going to start looking at Primary FRCA stuff really early cause I know physics is a super challenging subject for me (and the last time I studied it formally was 16 years ago doing my GCSEs), so I want plenty of time

Me, after 2 hrs of studying physics: might just quit anaesthetics actually

Physics is such bollocks.

"A meter is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum c to be 299 792 458 when expressed in the unit m s–1"

Get fucked, tbh.

Good lord I cannot explain how much I do not care about any of this.

The primary is going a be a bloody slog, isnt it?

Nice little milestone on my on-call yesterday getting my 100th intubation, and on a case I managed start to finish confidently with local supervision.

It's been a hard start, and sure, other people have probs got here faster than me, but I am a proud of myself seeing the difference from day 1 ☺️

15 hours straight working into your 24 hour on call and the surgeons have another potential laparotomy going through the scanner? Have 6 diet cokes.

You certainly wont regret 6 diet cokes.

And just like that, annual leave is over 🥲 it was a pretty good one though

The scrub cap collection is growing slowly 🐻🐻🐻

Every clip of a song from the new wicked soundtrack I hear on tiktok makes me want to watch it even less, which is impressive because I already didn't want to watch it at all.

I see your indie sleaze shred modern rock and raise you fairycore country americana folk, because I have no idea what fairycore means

oh no

(Thanks ebay for saving me approximately £1 million)

Oh look. My NHS email has been locked. For no reason. At 5pm. On a random Wednesday. Because NHS Scotland IT is bloody useless.

Can't work out whether I do actually owe HMRC money from last year or not despite combing through payslips and trying various tax calculators and my P60. None of the calculations add up. Clear as mud. HMRC is a scam.

Not to brag but I've done all of the silly little tasks on my stupid to do list today. I have won Sunday.

Placebo, many moons ago (nearly 15 years 😳 back when I was cool and was bothered about being front row)

If you see this, post a concert pic you took.

Begging UK doctor reddit to stop trying to bring back white coats

That's exactly what I wanted (I'm in queer media)

But the finger hold is the thing that kills me every time I see it 😂

Something like this would work

I need someone to lightly hold one of my fingers in order to be able to process this

I'm just sayin

Can't have snow in Glasgow and not go for a little walk

"we do things a little differently here 😍"

NO YOU DONT AND YOUR TABLES ARE ALWAYS TOO TINY FOR ALL THE PLATES

I am begging for the next new restaurant to open in Glasgow to please for the love of god sell normal sized plates of food.

DOWN WITH SMALL PLATES.
