[Return of the Rev]

I'm off due to the keyholding foreman unable to get in to work.....the plus side is that i dont get to work on a freezing cold building site today the downside is that i lose a days pay

Anyone know what conditions are like in Battle? Only I'll not bother going if things are impassable!

It is wrong to generalise and I won't but it would be interesting to compare the proportion of public sector workers who can't get to work with that of the private sector and the self-employed.

Was off work yesterday with the lurgy but did do some work. Still off today so will do a bit more. Tomorrow is a conundrum as it's our xmas party but given train doubts, weather, my lurgy etc I am having to rate myself as doubtful.

One of our guys got into work in Hastings from just the other side of Battle this morning in a taxi. Not much idea beyond that though I'm afraid.

Walked the 3 miles or so to work as usual today, as did three other members of staff. Our caretakery and ring round type duties done, home now with the afternoon off

 

[Durlston]

Not working at the moment but kept my medical appointment this morning with a bracing four mile walk.

 

[fatbadger]

Not me, for the second day. Couldn't get out on Monday, either, although I wasn't due in then. Probably won't be going in until tomorrow.

Dunno what the excuse for those living in the south is, though...

In my experience, having worked in the private sector and the public sector, and having been self-employed (and I'm currently self-employed half the week and public sector the other half), I would guess that the private sector workers are more likely to be off, with the public sector workers and the self-employed roughly the same (although many of the latter will be "working from home").

For example: one of my past places of work was in one of the (private) shops within a university campus. Uni staff would be in, classes would be on, and the shops would be shut. The (privatised) service departments would be closed, too - so the lecture rooms would be getting used, but the out-sourced cleaners wouldn't be cleaning them. Nor would anyone be able to get food from the out-sourced cafes. Tsk.
