Tomorrow I go back to work for the first time in a month. Not surprisingly, I really don’t want to go back . Except for this whole surgery thing and tearing my guts out and the cancer and stuff, I’ve really enjoyed having this time off. I got to hang out with my mom, do all sorts of touristy things I’ve been meaning to do for years , cleaned up and organized the house and configured a sweet TV/media setup. It was kind of like being unemployed, which was great except for the lack of money. PTO has run out, so I guess I have to do it. I’ll still be taking time off for chemo and other medical appointments, and hopefully they’ll take it easy on me as I try to get back up to speed. I don’t want to play the ‘C’ card, but I’ll use it if I have to...

And now to head back upstairs. I’ve been sleeping downstairs, in my office, for the last month, even after mom left. It’s probably best that I move back to my bedroom, where my alarm clock, clothes and with the shower with decent water pressure are (you’d think the downstairs shower would have better pressure, but surprisingly not. )

Wish me luck...

I haven’t had a day off in over 40 days, not sure how many now...

Ouch. Hopefully you're getting paid for all of that time. If it meant not getting ill I would gladly have continued to work, but I have to play the cards that were dealt...

I’m just past half way of my bereavement leave. Two weeks paid time off.

Going back to work sucks, the more closer it gets to returning, the more it sucks.

But still not as much as why you are leave in the first place....

In other news, it might be time to find a different career if you are feeling that way...

Ye, true. Got the funeral date this morning. It’ll be next Tuesday, with the police having an I.T. problem, it’s pushed everything back a week.

I’ve been there 16 years, it’s a pretty secure job, it’s run by idiots, but they change every couple of years or so. Better the devil you know.

It’s just filling shelves at a supermarket but it frees up my days to wash cars. I used to work in the ambulance service, got out before I burned out, and also admin but things have changed so much over the years and because I’m in full time employment, it’d cost too much to get re-trained back into the admin side of things.

Hopefully you'll get back in the groove without too much trouble.

I’m 4 months into this session of chemo and haven’t worked. I’m thankful for family,but I’m anxious to go to work.
