I ended up getting a haircut in the same place at the same time she had an appointment. I realised that only about 20 minutes of the 180 they spend in there is actually the cutting and colouring part. The rest is sitting in the chair drinking prosecco/coffee, reading a shite magazine, while the stylist pisses around elsewhere in the shop doing f**k knows what. Then there's the obligatory 'get your hair washed by the junior and get asked if you're going anywhere nice this year' 30 mins or so. I told them I'd literally just stepped out of the shower having washed my hair not more that 30 mins before I arrived in the shop, but no, you have to get subjected to that pish regardless. Daftest part is, she'd come out of the place looking absolutely no different to she went in, except for being about £150 worse off. Total con job. I hope you didn't tell her that. Or is that one of the reasons she's your "ex"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a surprise to see some areas around glasgow hardest hit as it has already been well documented that they have had high numbers, probably due to it being a large city. Got to admit, the cynic in me thought parts of fife would be in that list as i have seen people with a slightly too laid back attitude to it all. I thought she resigned? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would if be possible for an increase in Covid to occur if it were being camouflaged by lots of folk having the flu? Would that force a lot more sick days and social distancing into winter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another organisation that seems to think that come Jan 1st we’ll be “out with the old and in with the new”. Honestly by Jan the flu will be in full swing and folk will be getting their knickers in a twist about that. Why not just cancel everything until Easter 2021 I don't think it's too difficult to understand that some organisations are calling off planned shows now until they know how they can go ahead with events. None of them are expecting a magical January 1st cure and if they're able to put shows on before that then they obviously will. Calm doon with this shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big change needed tbf. Firstly in those that trigger discipline when there are 3 periods of sickness in a time frame, and also from day to day management whereby often pressure is applied to come in as the assumption is you are at it. Both of those will play huge factors in people coming in to work when unfit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I do wonder what is coming in with immediate effect and what won’t be. I’d imagine pubs might be held back for a little while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best things that can come out of this is an end to the workplace warrior who will "get on with it" and infect half the office with his illness. If you get the cold and are able to do so - work at home for the week. Risk management procedures ought to be implementing this immediately as part of return to work plans.

Not a fucking chance will the majority of businesses give up the unspoken power afforded by the "wee chat about your recent absence". Similarly, the self-motivated attention-seeking workplace warriors who'd turn up with Ebola will only change their behaviour if they can somehow martyr themselves by making a show of staying at home to protect the workplace. Not sure how we pull that off. Maybe erect in-office memorials for Karen, who selflessly saved an estimated 430 working hours this year by staying in her fucking bed and not infecting everyone else with the flu. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
