AAAAARGH!!!!!

Am majorly p*ss*d off with Government statistical agencies.... Grrrrrr!

Just spent the equivalent of two working days checking through a salary survey report at the request of UCEA. Approx 350 queries from about 1500 records - ie a fifth of the whole thing.
Their most common query: This persons salary has gone up - are they still doing the same job?
Yes they are you stupid bunch of red-tape using imbeciles - they're called pay awards. EVERYONE gets them as part of the universities agreement with the unions! That's what JNCHES is for! It's that same across the country! I wouldn't mind as much if the persons salary had moved above the rest of their peers but this was queried for people in the middle of the scale.....

.....grrrrr anyway rant over - I'm off to southport tonight. Will be nice to see Jenn for a few days rather than a few hours as seems the norm at the moment.

Have fun
