Very proud of our legal team who negotiated a settlement agreement worth almost £200k for a client. A great result! 🎉

A young lady, with a congratulatory First degree from Oxford and a distinction in her Masters from Imperial can't even get an interview for a research assistant job.
Never mind not getting an offer, we're talking about not even getting through the sift to an interview.
Wow. It's tough out there!

The actions of the Trump administration have fanned the embers of the 'united states of Europe' conversation. EU-separatist sentiments have been dampened & people are talking again about a united Europe. If that happens, the US will find it's power and influence will wane, as we rely less upon them.

Good Lord, it's depressing to observe what is going on in the world right now.
Fortunately, I'm extremely busy with work, and it has become the sand into which I can bury my head.

Workers can raise a grievance about anything: other people, processes, pay, etc. However, most grievances relate to other people - often between individuals and managers.
The problem is that interpersonal grievances don't really solve anything. [...]

I ran deepseek-r1 locally. It wasn't that impressive, to be honest. It was a good natural language processor but doesn't have a sufficient training set to answer questions with factual accuracy. I can't run deepseek-v3 as I only have 200GB memory and it needs over 400GB!

An enquiry from a prospective client highlights why management training is SO important, as a manager's conduct & behaviour can potentially be a real liability for employers sometimes!

I enjoyed giving an informal talk to ~20 interns on conflict psychology. Really enjoyable and nice to field questions from some bright, switched on people. I'm sure they'll go on to have thriving careers

Ugh. A payment platform that doesn't use form field validation on a purchase page has just told me (via a support rep) that "they don't have this feature" but will pass it on to the product team.
Missing field validation is a bug, not a feature request.

It's important to remember some core principles when we encounter views we disagree with...
1. There is no hierarchy of rights. One group's rights are neither superior nor subordinate to another group's rights.

Wow, 2025 has kicked off at a sprint! Lots of queries around contract T&C changes, returns from maternity, settlement agreements and a few grievances that stalled over the festive break.

20 years ago today, I was with my family in Sri Lanka when the tsunami struck.
Although close to the beach, I was luckily able to get them all to safety just before the water hit, along with some of the other villagers.
Not everyone in the village made it. 🕯

Ah Sunday treat - a ripe brie and some good quality marmalade with a decent Chateauneuf du Pape.
Delicious!
(Brie, marmalade and a freshly fried strip of pancetta is heavenly also).

Why do people insist on getting something 'wrapped up' by Christmas? One can have it done correctly or done quickly, rarely both. Besides, we all know that a document in their email inbox on Monday 23rd will remain there unactioned until the New Year anyway.

I remember 'Wolf Hall' when it first came out, and I'm very much enjoying a second viewing years later.
