btb Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Quote A German court has ruled that a man who slipped while walking a few metres from his bed to his home office can claim on workplace accident insurance as he was technically commuting. The man was working from home and on his way to his desk one floor below his bedroom, the federal social court, which oversees social security issues, said in its decision. While walking on the spiral staircase connecting the rooms, the unnamed man slipped and broke his back. I know it's in Germany but do any of you homeworkers have a spiral staircase or possibly a loose carpet to fall over between the bedroom and the home office - will homeworkers have to invest in those Slippery Floor signs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people who know him, I’m sure he’s fine. But I know what you mean. He’s a bit histrionic, especially about Covid.

Will it make any difference to the spread of Omicron? More than likely not. Will it put extra pressure on hospitality business that desperately don't need that? Yes. I really do not like the way sweeping statements (and essentially restrictions) can now be dropped on a whim, with nothing to back them up, which have far wider consequences than at first glance. I don't own a hospitality business, but if I did i'd be absolutely fuming at the vital revenue this statement will remove. Normalisation of interference in everyday life can absolutely get to f**k. Covid might not have fucked off, but neither is it anything like an emergency. I do not understand the widespread acceptance of this type of nannying. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own work Christmas party, not in Scotland, has been postponed until the end of January.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I’ve already had a Christmas night out and ended up in a sweaty nightclub full of afrocarribean women. Too late suckers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 My work Christmas lunch tomorrow. It will be the first opportunity I will have had to meet the new people and others since March 2020. We've all been asked to do an LFT before it. I like the people in my office so it better no be cancelled in the morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I'm currently trying to organise more nights out around Christmas and new year. So PHS can get squarely to f**k tbh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaxxport extensions now inevitable here as Sturgeon couldn't possibly have us the same as evil England. Would still rather have had the near five months of normality they had compared to the ongoing shit show up here.

Billy Jean King Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I think a lot of people would be avoiding contact at the moment anyway to ensure they aren’t infected over Christmas. My work Christmas meal was in November so Omicron wasn’t a thing. Halcyon days.Only 15 out of 40 odds committed to going to ours next Friday for this very reason ie fear of testing positive ahead of Christmas day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.V.T. Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Less than an hour before the announcement, the Scottish government's National Clinical Director Prof Jason Leitch told Radio Clyde that people could still hold parties if they "do it carefully".He said: "The present guidance today is to be careful - don't cancel your arrangements but think about testing,Some lad is Jason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Wragg Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Considering Sainsbury’s is actually called Sainsbury’s, then no. In addition, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say 'Waitrose's' in my puff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
