I've just had one of the worst days at work, resulting in a downright *****y week. I had to deal with a client today who has a mental illness, and unfortunately my work obligations mean that despite being verbally abused, insulted, yelled at and told she would complain about me, I had to keep working with her. You can probably guess that I work for the government, in a social welfare context. I'm so exhausted.
To top that off, one of my staff has called in for a fifth week of sick leave and despite everyone trying desperately to cope with her absence, another staff member (Generation Y, don't get me started!) thinks I should let her do her 'extra curricula' activities whilst everyone else works their butts off with the extra work load. I won't be the boss anymore after next week, and I'm sooooo looking forward to handing over this Problem Child. Sorry, this really shouldn't be loading up the TWW thread.
Delly - so sorry chook, I hope you're okay. Hang in there, we're thinking of you and expecting big positives in the future. Good luck with the exams.
Rachelj - welcome, and sorry about your news as well. Feel free to offload in this thread - as you can see, I do.
BDT - Some good news for a change! Well done, and all the best for a H&HP!
Mrzbaby - welcome! I hope your TWW is stress-free (ha!) and positive. When do you test?
Wishes - thinking of you and sorry about AF arriving. Keep strong.
Con - welcome as well! If you're having trouble with the lingo, you'll pick it up soon enough, but there are some help threads with the abbreviations. Here's some to get you started -
AF - (Aunty Flo, your period)
TTC - trying to concieve
HPT - Home Pregnancy Test
POAS - Pee on a Stick
And my personal favourite - AFM - As For Me! (I got confused about that because AFM in my line of work is actually the Affected Family Member in family violence matters).
AFM - still funny stabs and pinches. No doubt it's nothing but paranoia. Will keep you posted.
