Outraged at Huw Edwards taking his 400K salary, while suspended, as he’s still too unwell to engage in the internal investigation?
YES - that’s employment law and how it works. It’s designed to protect all employed people like Huw, you and me.
You prefer the alternative?

I’m on some radio news today explaining how work (and the commute in) won’t be much fun for many people after July 19th.
Public & workplace health promo doesn’t run on “individual’s common sense” - I’ve been in Occ Health for over 20yrs and I still get it wrong too.

A reminder that work shouldn’t make people sick…physical ill-health can be caused by depression/anxiety… “all in the mind” doesn’t mean symptoms are ‘made up’… some jobs make illness worse… stress should not be tolerated…nobody’s health should be worse after a day of work

Just encountered possibly the most officious and over zealous ticket inspector EVER (a rich seam I know) on a Virgin train. Left me alone, but had his ‘fun’ with a single female & then an asian family of 4 from overseas. Petty ticket issues. I had to have a word of course. . .

Ordered Katsu chicken & rice.
All out of rice.
Offered chicken and chips.
Accepted.
Gal on the till forced to charge me a chip-supplement.
I argue my legal right to compensatory chips in lieu of rice.
Gal concedes.
Victory is mine.

It was a real treat last night to meet up with some former students who’ve gone on to do great things since leaving Uni. It’s nice how they remember their tutors for the little things we did. I feel like I’m 107 yrs old, but happy.

Still marking season for many academics. You can have standards; you can set a high bar; and you can expect better from your students. All the above can be done while still being kind.
You can make the choice to be a kind academic and not an unhelpful arsey one.

In universities, we rarely tell other academics how smart or bright they are. Strange really, as that is a vital currency between academics. Letting someone know that their intelligence is appreciated can do wonders.

Tutors!
"Students may not care how much you know
until they know how much you care"
This can include caring about them as individuals, a collective, or even about the subject you teach / preach.
Having a little passion goes a VERY long way.
Are you still passionate?

Me: If I ever get offered an OBE or something, should I accept or decline it?
Mum: Not likely is it.
Me: Why not? Lots of people in my field get them. So should I accept one?
