Hi all. I hope you are all having a good night. I've just watched a really good interview with Jake O'Brien on Sky Sports. It was about how he manages being a professional footballer and a Type 1 diabetic. I had no idea he had that condition.
It's still raining here. Supposedly easing off tomorrow but by the end of next week we've got sleet forecast. Brrrr!
I don't know if I told you about my new line manager. I had a lot of run ins with him when I was a Union rep. Basically he's bone idle. Surprising nobody, he has not changed. I've never known anybody get away with doing so little. I just get on with my work and say nothing. However two of my teammates independently rang me today to have a moan about him. I feel vindicated.
How good was Seamus last night for Ireland? I was so happy about that
Sorry about your car @Val P . Absolute nightmare I always think you can't do anything about it either and garage could quote you anything from £1 to £3000 and you would have to say yes, that's fine!
Have a good weekend all x

Loved the discussion earlier. As a Republican, actively working to reunify Ireland, its brilliant to read this historical context.

My specialism now is employment law and your line manager and their ilk keep me very busy. It’s a minefield with literally every case being unique.

NICS has now made it policy that 40% of your working pattern must be office based. In context, NICS is selling off it’s estate so office attendance will be a question of booking desks in many places.

I’m employed at this time to argue cases on whether a person is disabled or not under the Disability Discrimination Act. Equally Act (2010) is not applicable here. To extend that, the legal concept of reasonable adjustments is so misunderstood by employers.
