Back into the lion's den

I did it. I went back into work today, with my head held high and a smile on my face. I was so sugar coated I think I might actually make someone puke. Ha!

I was greeted by silence from most of my team, bless them (!). The "bullies" couldn't even look at me, or acknowledge my presence. Difference is now I don't care so they can stick that in their pipe and smoke it as far as I am concerned. A couple of people on the outskirts were a bit terse, but did at least acknowledge me. They'll get over it in time I'm sure.

I also had an appointment with Occpational Health, who are referring me to a Life Coach. That should be interesting if nothing else. I'm very interested to know what advice she can give me on dealing with these people. I see her on Monday...

I've told my manager's and Occy Health that these "bullies" have the next 3 weeks to get their act together, and get over whatever it is they have a problem with (we still don't really know what their problem is!!). Once that time is up, if there is still bad feeling towards me and an atmosphere in the office I will make a formal complaint against the bullies, and HR have already said they are confident this would result in disciplinary action. Enough is enough don't you think?

Back to work soon?

I had my Occy Health appointment today as well. Nothing much to say about that really. We pretty much went over the same things as last time - I plan to go back early/mid June, I will be on a phased return etc...

They are very good at my work, so no worries on that front really.

Felt very let down by a friend today. Found out they have kept something quite important from me. I don't know why they have kept me in the dark, but I feel quite hurt. Gosh, this cancer malarkey ain't half made me sensitive!

Dvds and doctors

Been a bit narky today.

My mum has been round for a couple of hours this aft. We watched a DVD of last years fashion show. It's made me feel quite emotional. I reckon it's my hormones going bonkers again. I feel tired and a bit weepy today. Hey ho...

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the Occupational Health doctor. I guess it is to discuss my eventual return to work. That should be fun. The Occy Health doctor is quite good looking. Every cloud and all that...
