Well yesterday was a nightmare, work have rearranged the staff room so my drawer has moved (only slightly but still) and there's new machines for me to use so that wasn't great. The new machines are upgrades to old equipment but I'm not dealing well with change just now and I wasn't given proper training as I was being showed how to work them by someone who had only used the machine once and briefly and then we got asked to take a medical student so I couldn't get my head into what's changed.
This morning I'm in the clinic with the new machines with someone who has never used them - just really? I'm struggling but keeping on top of it.
I'm finding it hard to settle, I have a lot going on in my head and can't organise my thoughts all that well. There's so much uncertainty in the atmosphere about redeployments and departments closing and I'm finding it hard to cope.
I had a rough day. Made it through 10h shift somehow. Colleagues were nice and supportive. Helped me get through. Talked to assistant manager about how i feel, dreading the next encounter with store manager, she was not in today, he told me call my GP and take more sick leave, and when I get back, when I'm ready to get back to talk to area manager about the situation. So tomorrow i will call my GP. Now I'm depleted. Having a nice hot bath. Then sleep. If it comes
I had a low-key day today. Made a few phone calls, and applied for an Admin job in Toome.
I posted two mass cards for two deceased people; a man from our area - the father-in-law of a relative who died of cancer four years ago - and the mother of a man I went to school with.
Well, look after yourself at work and maybe think about taking 2-3 days off more sick next time? It's not taking the mick if it's genuine. Us autist types can be too stoic at times! I've learnt that, tho not changed accordingly:)
Good you're feeling normal again so quick!
Phew, a good day.
I took a sedative last night, it worked so so, but I wasn't drowsie this morn and had slept enough, tho not as well as i'd hoped.
I had a great run with my new running mate. He pushes me to go faster in a really supportive way. Had a nice chat and felt really comfortable in the friendship.
I had a nice walk with a much older acquaintance who has an autistic grand daughter and is good to talk to.
I finally cracked what I'm going to say to Mr Great Guy who went flakey on me. And arranged to see him Tues.
I've got 3 x 7:30 get out of bed sessions arranged with people Mon-Weds which kinda forms the anchor of my life n routine, and two speed running sessions tues n thurs eve too. So a good week ahead I hope.
And just had a nice chat with my brother and arranged a 22 mile fell run for mid May that I've wanted to do for 15 years almost. Date fits nicely with two of my runnng buddies who are training for marathons the wkd after.
So turned thibgs around after eight days being abit mopey.
Hope you're better soon
I didn't have surgery, I get infusions for an underlying health condition so I need about 3 weeks off every year (I go in Monday - Friday for 12 bags over that time). Feel like taking the mick a bit if I take more time off to recover as well. I work in a clinic and theatre (rotate about) so I don't do anything too heavy on my first few days to get back into it.
Seems rough you only got out of hospital a few days ago and you're back into work already. And you work in the health services, like where's the whole person thinking? I'd almost ban my lot from coming in after an op. You've a lot going on but sounds like you're doing well with it! Well done!
Had a COVID vaccination yesterday and had a bad reaction to it and ended up in hospital. I’m feeling normal again now and just have to take some steroid tablets for a few days. Went for a little walk today and then back home. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed today with life.
Muscles still sore today, tried a warm bath and another walk (this time a shorter walk) to loosen them up a bit. I'm worried about going back to work tomorrow if I'm still sore so I'm hoping the pain goes soon.
Managed to get the uni work done that I've been neglecting so that feels like a huge weight off my shoulders and I'll sleep better tonight with that done.
I need to write a to-do list of all the things I need to do at work tomorrow (in addition to my actual work). I hate being off as you go back to a wall of stuff to plough through and no time to do any of it.
I have lost a file but I think it might be on my old laptop so I'll dig that out and see if the file is there and email it to myself. The old laptop is so slow it's a chore to deal with but I have never got round to moving my files over. I think I'll need it for tomorrow so better look for it tonight.
