Far too many women have been on the receiving end of harassment, abuse and violence for far too long. With violence against women and girls declared a ‘National Emergency’, we need our male allies to stand up and call out troubling behaviour when they see it. #JustDont

I never understand those people who are late and say “hope I haven’t kept you waiting long!” Well, we said we’d meet at 9am and it’s now 9.23am, so you’ve kept me waiting 23 minutes. It’s quite easy to work out.

“It’s a bloody nightmare” Meaning: Something is proving a mild inconvenience; typically used to describe slightly heavy traffic, or the internet not working “It’s not ideal” Meaning: Something terrible has happened and life is almost certainly ruined

I don’t know how to stress this enough to the culprits, but when you look at an item on a supermarket shelf, your trolley does not need to turn out across the whole aisle at the same time. I will continue to try to communicate this knowledge by tutting quietly and imperceptibly shaking my head as I squeeze by, and perhaps muttering “unbelievable” when I’m a safe distance away.

Some people: “Well, we need to be there at 10am and it takes half an hour to get there so we’ll leave at 9.30am” These people are not me. Where’s the extra half an hour for inevitable problems (or the extra 4 hours if it involves an airport)? Where’s the extra time for enjoying some peace in the car once we’ve parked? What if there’s nowhere TO park?! What if we want to stop for an emergency sausage roll? No, we should leave at 8am.

If Monday was a feeling, it would be: 1. Catching a sleeve/pocket on door handle 2. When your sock comes off a bit in your shoe 3. Watching someone sniff a bottle of milk and seeing their nose touch the rim 4. Finding a wet spoon has been in the sugar 5. Someone looking at the back of your trousers and saying “ooh, I think you might have sat in something”

What everyone is really saying at work shorturl.at/jMORZ
Very British workplace translation guide What everything said in the office really means: 1 "Could do." Nope. 2 "I'll have a look in a sec." Please go away. 3 "I'll sort it out tomorrow." I'll forget about it forever. 4 "We've had a few teething problems." It's been a bloody nightmare. 5 "Let's agree to disagree." You're wrong but I'm so tired. 6 "What have you got on at the minute?" Pre- pare for your workload to triple. 7 "I'll see what I can do." You're on your own. 8 "It's the next thing on my list." I don't even have a list. 9 "Sorry, could you just clarify something?" What the hell are you drivelling on about? 10 "I have had better days." These have been, without exception, the worst 24 hours of my life.
