To all and sundry,

Quite frankly I really don't care what anyone thinks
of me anymore. Let me firstly thank Joe Wilkinson for
informing my Head of Department, not an Orthotist,
that I got my degree on a technicality and that all
the staff members at Salford University agreed that I
was basically crap and that I should not have got my
degree. However, there are 2 people who did fail
their exams but not only did they get their degrees
because I wasn't going to let people like Joe
Wilkinson deny me of my degree but they actually got a
higher degree classification in the process because of
my alleged troublemaking qualities. Thank you's go
out to the 2 and you know who you are for not thanking
me in helping you get your degrees, it wasn't a
pleasure. I look forward to seeing at the next
conference.

And now please let me thank all of those wonderful
professional people and you know who you are, that
have contributed to giving me the grand title of being
a trouble maker and let us not forget my incompetency.
I especially enjoy the fact that I after graduating in
1998 that I am still being told that I can't do my job
but yes, indeed I still have my job, and yes I can
still, cast, rectify and manufacture an orthosis
within 1-3 days, I guess I can thank my incompetency
skills for that, however, I'm sure that I won't have a
job after some lovely person does a better hatchett
job on me than the last lot.

Whilst enjoying myself in the world of p&o, I've
managed to have been accused of assualting a staff
member, but yes you guessed it, nothing to back up the
allegation but plenty of gossip to go around, why I
even got thrown out of my accommodation for it, why
I'm just so busy doing all this stuff, how do I have
the time to go to work?? Now why was I allegedly
upsetting another member of staff, why because??, well
funnily enough I was after some advice about some knee
braces and I asked that person to contact me, but yes
you guessed, why contact me and ask me why I wanted
them to contact me, when you have the power of gossip
to make up some story and upset that person instead.
Oh it just gets better, that person actually works
were I do, different department. Why there's nothing
like a bit of professionalism to help to promote our
profession.

Oh yes, it just gets better, I have supposedly had
affair with a technician from that same company,
(believe me I am so ugly, you wouldn't touch me with a
barge pole - those are my words, you can quote me on
that), well what the heck, why deny the gossip, after
all I supposedly spent my time advertising that very
fact on the world wide web.

Would anyone like to make a movie about it all, it
might win you an Oscar?

Since I dare not spoil the gossip with the truth, well
I guess, I'll just have to come clean and say yes I
did, does that make everybody happy now, okay with all
those concerned, good. Sleeping around just does
wonders for keeping wrinkles at bay!!

I know, why don't I approach the company and sort the
situation out, tried that, received a lot of childish
behaviour that belongs in the playground from some of
those staff members, incidently, still waiting on that
reply. That company won't employ me anyway,
regardless of what they put on paper, there's always a
loophole around these things, I guess that's why a
person like me who only got their degree on a
technicality can work. I suppose that's how I got my
CPSM registration as well as my membership to BAPO.

Thanks, I feel so much better for sharing all that
with you all, well if some bad apples are prepared to
go to such lengths to welcome me into the world of
p&o, I have no choice but to put my penny's worth of
gossip in as well. I'm sure that I'll probably not be
employed by any major company because of what I have
written but if there is, that would restore by faith
within this industry. For all those who have been
very kind and supportive to me, thank you very much.

Thanks for reading.

Adios Amigos!!
