Thanks Pat

Well I am posting this under duress as my OH says it's about time I stop teling you about his pants. I had a little breakfast hiccup this morning and he has taken a piccie of my mess.


I took my first sleeping tablet last night and it did floor me quite quickly but I still woke up at 1.30 and then the OH came to bed shortly after, but I did get back to sleep.

whoops, chill baby x

Having read that lot Becky, I'm sure your boss realises they have a piece of gold in you, so you'll be able to call the tune to a certain extent when you do go back as they would never want to lose a knowledgeable, hardworker like you that's for sure. Personally, I wouldn't work that hard for anybody, only for myself, and I'm no shirker, I have always worked hard for other people, but not like that, I think they're expecting far too much from you, probably because you just do it and get on with it without kicking up a stink, and they'd probably end up having to do most of that officework themselves in the long run. All the time you're there and you get on with it, why would they stop you?! Yes, having read all that, the time has definitely come to go back on your terms and do only the amount of work you feel capable of doing, and quite honestly, that's only fair, you're doing far too much for them and they probably know it, but are keeping quiet about it! Perhaps you're like Dave? He'd just carry on regardless no matter how much anybody put on him and it's not right and it's definitely not fair either! I remember I worked in a boarding school once, and they were always short of staff because of their location in the middle of nowhere, and sometimes I was asked to do so and so's work that particular day because they were off sick, but when it went on and on, I turned round and said to them "the day you pay me two people's wages, is the day you get me to do the job of two people"!!! I meant it too, and I didn't do the other person's job anymore either, otherwise they would NOT have got another person in, they would have just carried on expecting me to do both jobs, but I'm not like that, I know when enough is enough and I speak out! Maybe you should think back to when you first started with them and try and remember exactly how much work you did then? Have your wages gone up in accordance with the amount they've now thrown at you then???

Be brave, go it alone, but only when you've tested out the water first, and I think you'll be surprised how much work you could get in for YOURSELF!

Thanks for my hedgehog link there, you've definitely solved my problem! I kept punching in cylindrical droppings but hedgehog never appeared for me!

Now that looks like the Quatermass Experiment

Edit: spooky...where'd the picture go?

Pleased to hear you have another week off, honey.

Try and relax, keep on taking the tablets.....

Whoops, nice breakfast accident Becks!
