It is a long time since my last entry-had enormous problems with connectivity and other PC issues. Gosh how you miss the PC when it is a problem. I am doing this on an old laptop PC, as the other one has gone to the Computer Hospital! And this old one did not like my demands-when I set up some new software and various applications/programmes. The worse problem was it did not like my modem/routers, and I tried THREE! Then even after using System Restore several times nothing seemed to work. I finished up wiping the hard drives and resetting my Windows from a recovery disk. I am depending on my THREE mobile dongle now!
So much to say now! And I cannot decide what to write first.
I am contemplating redundancy-don't think I have much choice; I had a "briefing" note that said my job is not just at risk and under review, but my specific duties have been given to someone else. Thats what you get for being off work with a genuine problem-that was exacerbated by the environment in which I worked! I applied for early retirement and when seen by a doc was advised that one day I would recover from all my surgery and that I would be able to work...one day!
UCU, my union, are on strike-I support the stance. It is not a political thing or anti government policy and/or a fight against austerity measures, its a genuine grievance against the employers. Pensions have not be honoured, and quite frankly College and Uni managements seem to think they can do as they please-because of austerity measures. They keep themselves in work and reinvent job titles and massage job descriptions to suit their friends and sack many many others-the real workers who do the work at the coalface.
Enough said for now!
