Hi ladies

Sorry, selfish post from me today, as I have just had the crappiest day and need to vent.

I have been having problems at work for the past few weeks (basically I don't get along with my boss, she makes me feel like I am the most incompetent person ever, like I should just curl up and die as I can't do anything righ, etc, you get the picture). Also, she never delegates much work to me, so I am often sitting around bored. A few weeks ago I talked to her about the situation and she said that I should start looking for another job and perhaps leaving my current job by the end of the year (I am on a fixed term contract until March). During the weeks since this conversation, things have deteriorated further between us (you can read my other post in the Punching Bag forum for more details), so this morning I decided to hand in my resignation and finish up the last week of December. (I spoke to HR guy yesterday, who told me that unless there was an exceptional circumstance, I could not legally be fired/made redundant due to not enough work as I had worked more than 6 months of 12 month contract. So if I wanted to leave I could resign, but they couldn't make me go.) Well, MB (My Boss - or Mega*****) bullied me into leaving by mid-December as "it's not a good look you being here when there is no work for you to do". WTF? Lots of employees get paid out their contracts when circumstances change. I was only asking for 1-2 weeks extra pay! What kind of awful person would turf someone out just before Christmas? When offices close and getting another job at that time seems unlikely? But there you go, it's happened. DH and I have just paid off our debts this week, so there go our savings.

This evening I was bidding on a toy for Diana on eBay, and got outbid in the last 30 seconds of the auction, after being the sole bidder for the whole day. I was so upset.

I think that all this stress is causing my breastmilk to dry up. Could that happen? I don't seem to be able to extract much at all anymore, and Diana has had significantly fewer wet nappies than usual today. Hope tomorrow is better than today. I have a job interview in the afternoon, so wish me luck

Hope you're all having a lovely week and your bubbas are bringing you joy. I can't believe how much of a comfort Diana and DH have been to me today. I love them both sooo much.
