Friday 13th

Well, it's almost over... phew!

I'm not a fan of Friday 13th, not since I was diagnosed with breast cancer on one anyhow! But to try and break from superstition I went ahead with my routine mammogram today. Just got the 3 week wait for the dreaded results now... If you are reading this, please cross your fingers for me!

I've been speaking to my boss at work today too. Things seem to be spiralling out of control there. I don't know how I am going to face going back there in a few weeks. I'm going to try not to think about that until my return is more imminent. I felt really upset about it all again earlier today but hopefully now I've got it out of my system again I can put it back in a box for a while.

I probably won't be on here much for the next couple of weeks, as I will be sunning myself in Greece. I didn't realise when I booked it just how much I would need this holiday right now!!

Bump

That's the sound I make when I come back down to earth.

I met up with a friend from work yesterday. I'm not too sure of all the details yet but it seems the situation at work has escalated (yes even more!!). My big boss was going to HR again yesterday afternoon to speak to them about making it all formal. I think she has felt quite a lot of the backlash the last week or so, and the spotlight seems to have gone onto her now. So it looks like there will be some kind of formal process I'll have to be a part of. All the feelings I have managed to shake off these last few weeks will get raised to the surface again. Great.

I despair really. I feel pretty stuck now because I don't feel ill and the doc has signed me as fit for work next week. I won't be there for another couple of weeks cos I will be on holiday (I booked it a while ago), but then what? I dread walking back into the now even more escalated situation, but don't like being off work either because of it. I don't really know what to do or say now.

Argh.

No need for words really

I've just spent a few days here. Bliss.

Life just got a little bit better

I am not going to moan or whinge today. Honestly. I have something nice to talk about for a change.

I bought a caravan a couple of weeks ago... like you do (!) and I've just found out this evening that it has arrived!! So, I'm off for a couple of sneaky unexpected days over near the coast in the morning.

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Woooooooooooohhhhhhhhhoooooooo!

Just got to find my bucket and spade now...

Like a bad penny...

...the situation at work just isn't going away. It seems some of the delightful people I work with aren't happy that they have been told off and have gone to the union to complain about how it has been handled. I've seen the document that has been read and given to them, and I know I am biased, but it seemed ok to me. It was also done with the guidance of HR too. I just hope it gets sorted, and fast! I need to get back to work (I plan to go back at the beginning of July...)

I can't believe how this has escalated, and all from nothing. Pathetic really when you think about the bigger things in life.

But, it's sunny today so all is not lost :)
