Today at work I was pretty bored so decided to play with our hp touch smarts. I felt so proud with the result.

So my question is what do you do at work when you're bored as hell?

Normally I just browse the OCUK forums.

You are lazy, that is all.

There are actually multiple levels in severity of dyslexia, it effects people differently.

When I was at Uni I was given an assistant to read through all my Coursework and Exams to check for things like grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. I could re-read oursework documents many times over and even thenI still wouldn't notice mistakes. But once people point out my mistakes I notice them instantly.

So I think it is quite ignorant to say just because it effected you one way, it will effect all others in the same fashion.

I know, both me and my daughter have been through all the official tests but you have just proved you can do it by the post I quoted. Yes there are a couple of things in there but they look like typing mistakes.

(I had to edit this 4 times)

I also had to EDIT my post several times, you're not the only one.

I usually try and further my understanding of work related subjects. As it's an open office with clients embedded you've got to be seen to be working hard, even if there's no work.

At the moment it's reading advanced transformer literature and learning arduino code.

I'm also dyslexic and couldn't live without autocorrect, spell check or the edit button, but how do you guys find your bosses to be about it? Mines not understanding at all. I think it confuses him, which makes him hostile.

My Boss is fine with my Dyslexia, but some staff unaware of it when they receive an e-mail of me think what the hell.

He was more concerned with the fact I'm also dyspraxic and he kind of chucked a £5000 Power over Ethernet injector to me on my first day for us to install and I completely missed the catch. Ever since I have been known to my department as the 'Juggler'

Outsource my job to China.

On a more serious note. I either do not have the time to be bored at work or quite simply the work itself is always varied!

Don't get me wrong I really enjoy my work and even though I work in a school, I would say I get on with all the other members of staff (-1)and students.

But there are days when no one has come in with any issues and we have done all the stuff we can do for ourselves, so there is just time to waste.
