is there a couch somewhere, you could always just put your legs up at lunchtime, and meditate/rest with your eyes closed?
I'm only 26 weeks and am well and truly over work - but then I was over work when I was about 12 weeks!!
Working up to Christmas, then leave, but also finding it really difficult to sit for long periods - I take the longest walk to the water cooler, toilets and anywhere else I can walk to.
Definitely talk with your boss about taking work home, or working longer days (when you can).
I'm struggling with work right now too, although I'm haivng a good day today as bub seems to have shifted off my back onto my bladder. Strangely, that's an improvement
I spent an hour and 45 mins getting to work and the same again going home, dropping my son off on the way. We leave home at 6am and get home at 5:30pm. The longest days of my life!!! I have oodles of sick leave though and have found that working every second day is really helping, with a rest day in between. I only have 2.5 weeks left. I can't wait!!!
Oh, and a heat pack is the only relief I get from my back pain. I've got a gel one rather than a wheat one and find that it moulds into the shape of my back a whole lot better
Hi Tarkine....
Nope no couch or anything ... I might bring that up next meeting ...LOL
I work in sales so there isn't anything that I can take home as I need access to systems at all times and they are still umming and aaahhhing about giving us all laptops instead of pc's so that we can have a little felxibility Great thought though!
Disgirl - I need to get a head pack so I will definately look into a gel one!!
I hope the next couple of weeks go quick for you then you and DS get to chill for a little while
trying to think of things I can do from home but nothing is jumping out at me yet. after closing DF's business not sure I am ready to head back into the fray ....
Some time before I got pregnant! LOL
No but it was very early in the piece - maybe 8 weeks? 2nd trimester was kind of ok but 3rd was just like groundhog day - every afternoon I would try to find somewhere quiet to sit or lie down - and there still wasn't anywhere! My legs and feet were so swollen it was a nightmare to walk anywhere and I never wore shoes in the office. Fortunately I didn't have to think much so that was a blessing! LOL
it really seemed to drag. I really feel for you girls!
Dee, I do exactly what I used to do in-house, only on a consultancy basis (I work in corporate affairs/communications). I branch out by doing a lot of writing and some marketing for smaller businesses as well. The hard thing is keeping the clients coming, although it is getting easier as time goes on (as long as I don't get caught napping in someone's office ).
Now!!! LOL So over work...and I'm only 7 weeks...long way to go yet! Good news (or bad news) is, that my traineeship finishes in December, but I will have a temporary position where I am now until February, so after Feb who knows, maybe I could just stay at home After all, who's going to want to employ a 4 month old pregnant woman
