lol, the last two posts with the "ha-ha" in them made me think of phil ken sebben, from harvey birdman attorney at law.

"Ha-ha! Dangly parts."

link to some soundbites:

and yes, the person that made that website spelled phils last name wrong. it's sebben, not sebbin.

What a drag. When I started reading this I wasn't paying attention to where you were from. I was going to lament the effects of the Patriot Act in this country. Sorry that you have to live under the same sort of hysteria that we do.

ON the race issue, I would take that as a descriptor rather than anything deeper, the train bombers were all white I believe !

Perhaps they were.
Still, if a white guy hangs his bag on a door, there is NO WAY the bombsquad shows up. Absolutely no fucking way.

thanks for the support. I'm not too bothered about the racial profiling, its to be expected in the current climate.
Spoke to my medical union and they are advising me to resign, and take it to an employment tribunal. They say the fitness to practice meeting will be a kangaroo court where they have too many rules they can twist in order to fuck me over. A tribunal would be fairer and i'd most likely win it and also get to fuck over the ceo. The medical director at the hospital who witnessed her rampage said he would back me up at the tribunal. He's already spoken to her and told her he's going to recommend to the board of directors that she be sacked as she has proven she cannot handle pressure situations.

Good to hear that dude. Sounds like she'll get what's coming to her. Whole situation sucks though. I hope everything works out for you alright.

Well I really wish it wasn't. It's not fair at all.
I admit if I'd discovered the bag unattended I would probably have called it in to security, but I'd have felt like a complete idiot if it had instigated the same outcome. But then if I'd seen you leaving it, I probably would have called out to ask you what you were doing.

That doesn't seem right that they're advising you to resign. I mean if you win does that mean you'd be reinstated?

GOOD!! Nobody needs that kind of crap at work!

Let us know how it goes LC. Bet you won't do that again right?

Man, that sucks. You didn't fuck up at all, in my opinion.

That sounds about right, that's pretty pathetic on her part really. If anyone rational is leading a hospital, and finds out what happened which is a perfectly common thing for a mistake and you did absolutely the right thing telling everyone as soon as possible, then they should breath a sigh of relief thank the police for acting so quickly and then go on about the day, maybe busting your balls a bit in private about not doing that again but that's it.

Good luck, I hope you find a better hospital to work in.

lucylespian

Went to work this morning like i've done a hundred times before, and went to my office and realised i left my office keys in my car. Rather than take my bag back with me i left it hanging on the door handle, this is swipe card access only area so i thought it would be safe.
Went to get my keys and was back in about 15 minutes to find police had evacuated the hospital. I asked a collegue what was going on and they said someone saw an asian man leave a bag in the hospital and walk off. FUCK ME i said, and immediately went to one of the police officers and said it could be my bag. They escorted me into the hospital and i confirmed where the bag was and what type it was. They said that was the bag but couldnt let me get to it until someone had confirmed my identity. This took nearly thirty minutes by which time the bomb squad had arrived. The chief executive took it upon herself to start a tyrade of insults at me infront of the cops and said she would "personally end my career".
Once my identity had been confirmed i was searched under section 43 of the terrorism act and was then escorted to my bag. The police were actually quite cool about it, maybe because of the bollocking i took from the chief executive.
I've been suspended from work, pending a fitness to practice meeting. What a fucking day, i'm so fucking pissed.

you should've told that bitch of an executive that it was all a big misunderstanding... taken completely out of perspective... i would've.... i don't know... i have this weird defensive vibe, or maybe i got an attitude problem but my bosses always have a hard time telling me off and when they do, well, let's just say the situation is uncomfortable on both ends.... if the executive was bitching at you, you should've said in a bad tone..."don't you think i have enough already by having the bomb squad get here? how the hell do you think I feel?" she/he would've backed off a little, i bet. i work in a hospital too, so i know how those bitches get.... and trust me, if i were there i'd of bitched back at the exec for you when was it a crime to leave a bag in your office??? fucking weirdo's... you shouldn't have felt bad dude, it wasn't your fault. fuck them. repeat after me, "fuck them, not me"

My GF was telling me that her school was evacuated after a student through a backpack in the garbage. Apparently the student had puked in his bag.

This is just hysteria though.

I remember after 9/11 having one or two 'visions' of buildings exploding next to me, then I thought I'm more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident, why don't I have visions about that?

This reminds me of that old saying "There is nothing to fear, but fear its self."

That's fucking crazy !
People live in a endless fear and can the police every time they see a bag left alone... people are crazy....

No point getting poo pants with me dead.

It's pretty standard stuff in hospitals these days that any unattended bags have to be accounted for. Hospital employees are taught to ring these things through to security. I can't imagine that it's any different in London. And it's not a new thing either, it's not like there wasn't constant warnings at Heathrow airport 10 years ago that any bag left unattended would be taken away and destroyed.

I'm not saying it's right but I can see how in a big hospital or place where a lot of people are gathered that it's probably prudent to investigate any unattended bag or package. Having said that I don't think London Calling should have been fried in boiling oil over it either. It's an easy mistake to make and could have been handled a lot more professionally particularly by the CEO.

And quite apart from all that I was having a joke so by all means get shitty with me, but it's not going to change the way things are.
