Mid Wives Strike

Strikes !!! I am always a supporter of strikes , because I believe people  need to stand up and say this is not except-able and we want to have a voice and say so ! Protest all you need too but I don't think 4 hours will make much of a statement .
What I'm talking about is the Mid-wives going on strike tomorrow the  13th of October for 4 hours ,Because the pay rise of 1 % they requested was turned down !!! YES the 1 % pay rise ...I'm laughing because nobody asks  for 1% dammit , they are very well in their rights to go for a minimum of 13 to 15 % and not feel BAD , but that 1% was refused !!! Today's wages are a disgrace ,nobody can survive and the middle class people are suffering . Mid wives have a very important job in society and so do nurses and all health care etc . Even the wealthy need a mid wife to help, be on hand to push out that rich baby . Imagine if they never showed up to work at all , what a catastrophe that would be !! They should strike for atleast 4/5 days , to  make a deference .. The government can step in and help the women give birth ;)
Even mid wives like to dress well , you know not everyone lives in hoodies or tracksuits and cheap rubbish they too would love to buy clothes from Top Shop and Zara but where do they generally shop Yes the trusty Budget shop Primark . No they cannot  afford to run a house , pay bills ,look after, the kids needs and live on that meager pay packet . And we are not even going into the  food costs every week . No there is no Beef Steak , No Salmon , forget crabs and fresh prawns every week ,forget even feeding the family some delicious OX tail , have you seen what that costs ?? So it's off to the budget supermarkets and sometimes even 3 supermarkets to make sure money can  stretch , What a sad life, and doing the most important job of all ...making sure the next generation are born into this world safely , without screwing up the delivery . Oh yes they also have to endure women who are shouting with pain , cursing ,angry ,feeling wretched and all with a smile and a calm face and a soothing voice . Oh don't forget they have to see an open vagina put their hand in blood and hhhmmm and 99% of the time if you're pushing hard enough you are going to shit out the other end as well , I wonder who has to clean that up  and smell it ??? Yes THE MID WIFE !!!
Give her a Decent Salary , you know she loves that job or she won't be doing it , I would not even consider being a mid wife ..No I  don't want to see all that ,lol ... I have great respect for Mid wives and all health care workers .
Wherever you are in your day , I hope you're smiling and mid wives I will say a special prayer for you all , keep doing the good job you're doing because I LOVE YOU ALL :)      

Do we really keep up with the news ??

Do people who work at a full time job ,really have time for anything else ? Perhaps they are even ignorant of the news or what's going on in the world . They seldom know anything outside of their profession , they are so caught up with working , back home it's just dinner some tv and bed because the  next day it's work again . That is a sad thing , when your life becomes centered around your job , often family and children news in the world takes a back seat .
It 's just something I thought about , as I was chatting with a friend today at dinner . The subject came up about the USA having it's first Ebola victim . The man had returned from a trip to West Africa and upon feeling ill , he went to the Hospital and mentioned to the nurse ,that he just returned from West Africa and was feeling ill ..Obviously she is a very busy nurse and works alot , so probably never knew of the seriousness of the diseases Ebola in West Africa . She more than likely missed all the news and tv programmes about what was happening in the world. Yeah a real shame :( but being overworked ,stressed and day to day life ,cause this kind of lax . Now more people I believe and children who he came in contact with ,could be affected ... this is a tragedy .
I think people should work less, pay more attention to things happening in the world and maybe the world will improve . Reading should be encouraged and more communication can make huge differences . I once had a partner who worked in Psychiatry , his life revolved around his work and he had no time for anything else . He never went to the movies , because James Bond didn't interest him , nor did anything Star Wars or Star Trek , or for that matter any Superhero stuff . I was so appalled , all that was what I loved . Did he have time for the news yes ,only at the weekend ..where a very concise version is telecast ! Newspapers well for most part I saw the sports part concentrated on  :) Hhmm he could be brilliant at his job but I think anyone focusing on his work alone is lacking , and lacking a whole deal in being a complete fun , and knowledgeable person .
So wherever you are in your day , hope your smiling and taking time out to know more stuff that's going on in the world and making a tiny bit of difference ..#peace&love
