This week gets worse...
« on: January 17, 2018, 07:47:44 PM »
My dad's mom passed away last night. I found out at work.

This is not my week.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

Thanks guys. Absolute shite week.

Kind of thinking my work is going to think I'm lying so I could leave early.

I found out right after I asked if I could take part of Friday to do job search stuff. 

Of which the answer was no, you have no rights to anything as you have only been here for a year.

I feel sick today. If it was just the job I could cope.

Don’t go in today unless you feel you want to. You need to look after yourself first and foremost.  x

I'm not. I feel like poo. I'm crying. I lost my phone on my dog walk in the dark this morning. I couldn't get the bin out cause the way was blocked by an old fridge that blew over last night. I missed the bus looking for my phone in the pre-dawn. Husband came out to help me look after the sun came up a bit and found it.

I'm staying here with my headache and bad tummy.

You did the right thing.  Ignore what your employer says.  They have no power over you.

Stay at home and look after yourself.  Try not to give the job another thought.  I know that is easier said than done.  Sometimes you just need a little space to yourself to get your mind together.

Ugh.  Definitely put yourself first.  I am so sorry you are dealing with all this.  Feel free to message me if you need to vent.
