the latest advice is to join up to the NHS jobs website in the hope of finding alternatives. not sure what alternatives there will be, in that all training and non-training posts are currently prisoners of the MTAS lords.

perhaps they're recommending we change tack altogether. try our hand at something new. i wouldn't mind being a paramedic i guess. but that would need more training and time and money that i don't really have to spare.

so august will probably see more of us in the queues at the job centre.

i wonder what i could do as an alternative career.

i did always want to be the person who names all the stuff for ikea...
