@pennygcole @melon_h I can understand that, just look after yourself x
English
@melon_h @LibraryClimb Thanks both. To be honest I think work will do me good. It gives me something to focus on. I think I've just been running at high levels of anxiety without realising and my brain/body have just decided to do a forced stop. I did go out with M this morning which I think helped.
English
@melon_h @pennygcole I was just going to suggest the same. My counsellor suggested this to me as I was relaying on physical stuff to ground myself during panic attacks, which wasn't always practical. Also can you take some time off? Because you are no good to anyone if you aren't well xx
English
@pennygcole Sorry to hear that. Have you tried the 5-4-3-2-1 method? Identify five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste. This can help bring you back to the present moment. Take Care

@TashadenDekker Hopefully there's something they can do. It took five years and having a full on break down on a senior physiotherapist to get my scan. Although the weight comments still continued.
English
And how nice to hear a doctor say 'you shouldn't be experiencing this AND your weight has nothing to do with it' (with a decent amount of shade thrown at GPs)

Had a proper MSK Consultant look at my knees today. Turns out, I'm hypermobile, probs some general age degenerative stuff happening and the next step is a an MRI?! BUT THERE'S AN UPRIGHT AND OPEN MRI in Edgbaston and honestly for claustrophobia peeps like me, what a dream?!

@EmilyDourish @theULSpecColl Round here it would be missing tortoises. You would not believe how many of the things seem to escape.
English
Has to be done. The huge number of adverts for missing horses is presumably the equivalent of today's Facebook stolen bikes groups.

OOh bet this was great @LibraryClimb I don't suppose you would like to turn this into a vignette for my book? (Don't worry about the deadline - I can extend as this would be perfect! Details here - drive.google.com/file/d/1fy5dk_…

Wonderful workshop "What can you change in an hour" very open and engaging discussion on change as a constant, importance of communication for staff buy in, recognise barriers and what we can and cannot control. #csguk23

Off to @CSGUKLibraries and I think the conference has already peaked. I've just met a cat on a lead at the station. I challenge anyone to follow that
English
@heroicendeavour I guess I disagree about the need for constant cover but its always contextual.
English
@LibraryClimb And if gaps in managerial cover exist and staff are expected to step up to fill it, they should be paid accordingly. That's all on the organisation.
English
Apparently an unpopular opinion in HE - I don’t think any manager of a team/service should be part time. It’s not fair on staff to have absentee managers and it means people who aren’t paid for it have to step up or cover when they’re not there. Why is it so common to see this?
English
@heroicendeavour This feels quite discrimatory to be honest and puts the emphasis on the individual rather than the organisation to ensure support is in place. Management can't be present all of the time regardless of working hours.
English
I’m not slamming part-time managers, all kinds of reasons why people need or want to work part-time. But part-time *management*, whether of people or a service, is not good service or good for staff.
English
Anyone elses building sounds like its going to take off today? It's like we have a tornado in the roof!

@EventsSparrow Well as temporary homes go West Yorkshire could be worse, although i realise less tahn ideal circumstances. Anything i can do let me know x

Marching and calling for a ceasefire and peace so that more innocent children don’t get killed is not really the definition of a hate march.
Suella Braverman@SuellaBraverman
I agree with the Prime Minister. It is entirely unacceptable to desecrate Armistice Day with a hate march through London. If it goes ahead there is an obvious risk of serious public disorder, violence and damage as well as giving offence to millions of decent British people. 1/2
