On the move again, but thankfully just work moves this time. Due to cuts in the number of people working for my Government Department, due to both cuts generally and the split of the Department, I've moved from my building to the main building.
Although I'm at a traditional desk at the moment, I'm due to move up to the Flexible workspace by the end of June. Flexible means sitting where there are spaces (within your team) when you get in.
I have a number of problems with the Flexible workspace :
1. I have a number of specialist pieces of software, I've been offered a laptop just for work as I have one for working at home but unfortunately one of my pieces of software tends to crash laptops.
2. Due to being slightly deaf I have a specialist phone but I may not be able to take it with me.
3. My deafness gets worse with fluorescent lights, but there is no option to turn them off above my desk (as I have at the moment).
The Department seems yet to realise that Flexible working is not suitable for everybody and those that have certain specific requirements have not been suitably catered for.

Boris wins
The London Mayoral Elections were held two days ago and the results were announced yesterday evening. The Conservative candidate Boris Johnson MP was elected as Mayor of London for the next four years. He's going to get global coverage at the Olympic and Paralympic games when as Mayor of London he accepts the handover from the Mayor of Beijing.
Whereas he has a reputation of gaffes and pretending to be a buffoon he has run a gaffe-free campaign and I truly believe he will do a good job as Mayor.
As Richard Barnbrook has only been elected as a London Assembly member he can't do too much as the London Assembly is only there to keep a check on the Mayor. However, if I had my way I'd line all BNP members and their supporters against a wall and shoot them. Racism should NEVER be acceptable in politics in the UK.
The Labour party got a real kicking nationwide losing over 300 councillors, time for Gordon to go? It is ridiculous that the Prime Minister's decisions in most areas do not affect his own constituents.
