The weather outside is great, the temperature inside is cool thanks to the male win in the air con war, but not everything is rosy at work at the moment.

Every 6 months we have an external audit at work, a nightmare time for all concerned.

The next audit is next month, so today we had our first meeting on where we stand within the department in terms of being ready for the audit.

As the kind of weather that makes you really wish you weren't in work continued for another day, the effect on the relationships within our office was becoming rather apparent.

It has become a veritable battle of the sexes here, with the opposing groups dividing nicely in to men vs women.

The problem?

Whilst us men want to be sensible and work in a nice, cool office, the women suddenly can't stand any temperature below 30 degrees.

After an extended May Bank holiday break, I thought I would ease myself back in to work with another employment law seminar today.

Thankfully there were no mints to cause me problems at this event...

This morning was spent at a surprisingly enjoyable Employment Law Seminar (I know, it seems like a bit of a contradiction in terms).

Along with obtaining knowledge of many useful, and scary, changes and future changes to the law, I managed to enjoy a few freebies.
