I have to go back to work tomorrow, after over two weeks away. As I was snowed in and then sick before I went on leave, I didn't get things tidied up and left in an orderly fashion before I went off, which probably means all manner of nastiness may be waiting for me on my return, and EVERYTHING will be urgent. Sometimes I quite like working under pressure and find that it stops me faffing about and over thinking. Sometimes I just whip through things, getting to the main points and not worrying too much about detail. Trouble is, that works better when I am feeling mentally alert, and at the moment I am not.
I still feel ill and tired, and if I had not been off work already for two weeks, I would be seriously thinking about having a few days off. But I can't. It's not worth it. It's beginning to make me anxious that I am so behind. I need to go in and at least deal with the very urgent stuff, and get an idea of the extent of the problem. Unless I get snowed in again of course, which, looking at the colour of the sky right now, is not impossible.

I am not looking forward to going back either! The last time I looked we were predicted to have more snow on wednesday and thursday so if you grit your teeth and do what you can on monday and tuesday you may find you are snowed in for the rest of the week and can relax knowing you have done the most urgent stuff!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you feel better soon, JustMe. It's not fun being sick and having a lot of work to do. I hope you do get snowed in, so you can just relax in bed with a nice cup of tea instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm another one who's not looking terribly forward to work Monday. At least we don't have snow here this year - just rain. Hope your day goes as well as can be expected.
