how to be a velvet bulldoser  I'd like lessons please! Hi Julie Please don't be dashing off back to work too soon, make sure you have fully recovered from the chest infection and completed the course of antibiotics. Our lowered immune responses can very quickly lead to further infection given the slightest chance, and the workplace is a prime resort for such ugly bugs  . Hope you feel much better very soon, Lyn x

I feel a lot better today and feel I have to go back to work tomorrow. It makes me feel worse being off as I have been very lucky to get a term-time contract and don't want to risk losing it as it means I can spend all the hols with Jim and don't have childcare costs. Luckily though, I only have to make it through next week then we are off for a week for spring bank holiday.
I'm in a really tricky position work wise at the moment. Not only am I afraid of losing the term time, we are also having a major 'restructure'. I've already agreed to take a less high profile job in the reorganisation in the hope it will take some time pressure off me but they are also talking of redundancies later in the year. The voluntary redundancy programme has already started. I'm sure lots of people are in a similar position and the extremes of this illness make it so difficult to predict how we are going to feel. I can only wait and see how I feel in the morning really.

Morning Julie Pleased to hear that you are feeling so much better today and do understand where you are coming from on the work front. So difficult to balance work commitments, family needs and a damned chronic illness and still retain something of yourself in all this. Still a week's break will give you a further re-charging opportunity. Ours don't finish until the 28th so two weeks to go for us! Hope you feel okay tomorrow Julie, Lyn x

Julie, how are you today? Did you go back to work? Yes, its 2 weeks for the spring holiday, but not too long to go eh!! With the redundancies going around its such a worrying time for you. No one ever knows which way it will go. Hope you are doling better x x BARBARA

Thanks for asking Barbara- it's been a nightmare. My boss had a quick 2 mins to ask if I was ok then ran out of time to do my back to work review! I have been doing a full time job in part-time hours for over a year and tbh - nobody cares how I am feeling as long as the work gets done - then I wonder why I am ill. I should have a full time deputy who I can delegate work to but only have part time support and she is on leave this week - so back to work after a week off sick and even more pressure than ever. Sorry - rant over - hoping things get better in the re-shuffle. Steroid jab is a real miracle and am much more mobile. Now brain dead and trying to calm down with a glass of wine. Am definitely going to pin manager down tomorrow and tell him I need help or the work doesn't get done. They are so used to me just getting on with it and managing one way or another but I'm not fit enough to keep doing it indefinitely any more. (Turmoil ) Julie

Glad you feeling a bit better
However do remember you are the important person, as employers only think of you as a number
as my boss keeps telling me.

I'm glad you're feeling much better, I hope you get to have your chat with your manager. Have you ever thought of giving him or her a booklet on RA?
