Stress and Relief

So following on rather belatedly from my previous post, I was tired and the tiredness led to stress and the stress led to me making what could have been a pretty bad mistake. You know when you reply to an email and you hit 'Reply to All' when you just meant to hit 'Reply' or vice versa. It was one of those scenarios. It was a personnel issue and it could have been very embarassing for me and by default M. I managed to re-call the majority of the emails. But it did result in M appearing at my desk saying I had to sort out the problem.

It was a problem, but nothing I couldn't resolve with some careful diplomacy, however the problem I couldn't resolve was that the contents of the email, revealed how the company treated people. But then this is what I do. I do the dirty work for M and D.

It made me think that working a few days a week together would be better than working them one day off, one day on. It would possibly make me less stressed for a start.

So now the relief. I will be on holiday for a couple of weeks. This might be a good time to assess my situation and look at the future.

I have just read all your posts. Phew! You are really going through it... I admire your tenacity.

I also admire your ability to keep the blog posts brief and punchy. I wish I could master the art of brevity...

In your situation, I think I would have told them to go funk themselves a long time ago. But that's just me and my minimal financial commitments.

Keep you upper lip stiff and your integrity whole.

Ah, GJM, my blog is cathartic not creative so my brief is be brief.

Tenacity and grit! Tenacity and grit! Easy to say after a two week break.
