What is wrong with people? One week left on probation, six weeks before Christmas? BD, so sorry you're in this position now What are you thinking you'll do now?

PN, how did you review go? I think we need lunch, I miss you.

Nyigi, Sahbear, good luck with job applications!

MN, mental health days are gooood. Enjoy. I can't imagine what your work must be like. Ghost town.

Wysiwyg, enjoy the conference. Glad you've got a plan.

AFM, I'm really struggling. I've been staying away cuz I feel like I just come in here and whinge and at least I have a job? Why am I whinging? But I hate it. Oh, it's fine when I'm here, even if it is pretty boring and sooo technically dry it's doing my head in. And I'm getting paid. I'm keeping our family afloat.

But I hate it. I don't want to be here. I haven't done a kinder run in weeks. I've no idea how DS1 is going at kinder. I've barely made it to school - I only get to do two days and mostly DH does the pick ups if he's coming home. I hate it. I always wanted to be a mum who ran around after their kids. They do my head in on my days off, but I'd rather be there, with them. I can't organise playdates because there's no time.

I can't really do anything different to what I'm already doing so please don't feel like I need advice on how to change things, I'd just love some hugs.
