I got up without any appointment with anyone! And in time for work! Yay!!!
My meditation partner skipped our zoom call, she's got a cold. I went to bed, slept solid (weyhey!), didn't set the alarm, woke at 8.05 and was out of bed at 8:15, miracle!
So, so day.
I was a bit hyper to fall asleep, then woke at 5am:(
Did Strength & Conditioning with MGG; started work on time (whoop), was productive, though I was fidgety and some of it was hard; went for some run training; just ate; now got a Zoom call with a mate who we're maybe interested in recruiting.
Really the manager should be dealing with this by going through an accountability process leading up to sacking the person. It's her fault, and she's shifting it onto you. Why can't people sack people? It's not hard to do once you've done it the once.
Had another hard day at work. Supervisor was just being a pain in the backside and I'd been hoping I'd see my manager today so I could offload a bit (I've been keeping a record of the supervisors behaviours towards me) but she didn't come over from her own site because she'd been scheduled to have a meeting.
I got quite worked up and decided to email her my diary and a few other things that had gone on (like supervisor putting my special masks for my allergy in the main mask supply because the other person who uses allergy masks said they weren't hers). Manager acknowledged how I felt and said she could have another go at trying to have a 3 way conversation with us but the last one didn't help much (understatement - the last one was a disaster). She suggested she help me to work through the stress management paperwork so we have something official on record and I said that would be helpful but I also feel like it's putting the blame onto me somewhat. Like I'm stressed because my supervisor is a cow not because I'm stressed generally. I know I need to do something about the ball of anxiety I get going into work, at the moment it is just there constantly and I feel like I've done something wrong when I keep getting assured from manager that I haven't.
Started new job role today. Realised that after working solo for so long with minimal supervision I'm going to need to adjust my strategies a bit to handle meetings and the varied pieces of work which will be coming in. Also recognising that it's easily to get distracted by "upcoming work" by thinking about it too early. Proud - because I actually parked a task today instead of feeling I had to finish it before I logged off.
Transferred £20 from my Credit Union account to my current account, for £10 of diesel; plus bread and milk. Tomorrow, I'll get PIP.
My uncle came to see what's in my garage. We'll be putting it all into his trailer, tomorrow morning, for storage in his shed.
Big day planned tomorrow. Heading to Lidl in Magherafelt to buy groceries; then head to my Support Bubble's place to run an errand for email access on his phone. (He hasn't a Scooby about Technology - every bit as unteachable as my Nan)
Listening to 'Dirty' by Sonic Youth on LP.
Yeah, got myself all ready for doing it today. Not the Covid that worries me, it was meeting new people as I don't see everyone usually and they have delayed the start to next week now 
That sounds good, we self test and have a link to report the results on. It's not compulsory but everyone I know has the kit and uses it.
If we get a positive lateral flow we need to report for PCR testing. I can't say it's the best thing in the world but I'd do 100 lateral flow tests before I did another PCR because those were hell!
Got out of bed in time for 8am yoga, achievement.
Worked from home all day which was nice, and productive, and interesting.
But now I'm sitting in the same chair as I did all day long and not seen anyone. I can see the office, or a run, gives just the amount of social to make me happy. Tmrw I should have strength and conditioning session 7:45am with MGG, work from home, nice work call at 4pm, run with coach at 6:30, and a social zoom chat at 8:45pm. One extreme to the other!
Its those exact Lateral Flow Test we will be using, but unlike the NHS we will only test all staff once a week because it will take 5 days to test all staff.
I will be checking the employees are doing it correctly and processing the tests before entering the results onto the NHS test/trace APP.
It is a test scheme to show that offices and warehouses can test all staff regularly without issue, if successful they hope that more offices can return to work with Social Distancing / PPE / Regular testing
It's not too bad, I get done twice a week but they have now given us lateral flow tests that we can do on ourselves after being signed off, it's much better than having someone else tickle your brain
Yes, I have to wear PPE. Provided with a Mask, Eye protection, gloves and Apron, it's a testing program supported by the NHS.
wear a mask ! and keep alcoholing your hands.
Today my company starts Covid testing its employees and I get the job of doing the tests
