ICTChris Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Also, Public Health Scotland have issued a media release "urging people to defer" attendance at Christmas parties due to Omicron. My own work Christmas party, not in Scotland, has been postponed until the end of January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I hear “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”, I’m instantly reminded of late January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another dagger into the hospitality industry then, with absolutely zero financial help in return. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted December 9, 2021 Author 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I need help P&B. Until retirement, I was a graphic designer. One of the products we used was Omnicrom, a metallic transfer sheet thingy. No matter how hard I try, in every conversation, I call the latest variant ‘Omnicrom’. People are looking at me and thinking ‘fanny’ - even more than they normally do. Please tell me there’s a new variant on the way. https://www.vycombe-arts.co.uk/onlineshop/prod_6608161-Omnicrom-Colour-Transfer-Sheets-A4.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Todd_is_God Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 13 minutes ago, D.V.T. said: That can absolutely get to f**k. It's a ridiculously short sighted measure IMO. 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...
