Title: A new one on me
Post by: Nick on March 09, 2018, 02:59:15 PM
Saw the quack for my sick note and he diagnosed "Acute Situational Distress".

I asked him what this meant. He said that it means I am not being labelled as suffering from stress but that the working environment is utterly insane and that the University is to blame.

I like his style.

I am thrilled to be out of that madhouse!!

No! [serious] that job would have killed me had I stayed. [serious]

I have written to a few of the better ones in my team to thank them.

:thumbsup: good move

Sometimes it is best to walk away.  I did from my last job in a madhouse knowing I'd never work again but I reckon you'll be working soon.  Any news from Londinium?

No, not yet, but this stuff comes in as urgent at the last minute.
