Stress

[Champagne]

My stress levels are through the roof this morning!

After working miracles to get my boss a last minute appointment for a US visa (speaking to the Embassy at 10am and getting an appointment for noon!) I then received a call from my temping agency about a formal complaint about me which was made last week whilst I was off sick. The lady in HR has complained because I was off ill, leaving her to stress about finding suitable cover for a couple of days, so she complained about my time-keeping (granted, I have had trouble with my time-keeping in recent weeks, but she knew this would improve once I moved home) AND had the audacity to add that my standards of work had been slipping, which has left me stunned. I was livid to say the least, especially as I work bluddy hard. Then, to top it all, the receptionist told me off for booking a courier myself instead of getting her to do it. AARRRRGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I felt like a scolded child!

Has anything bad happened to you so far today?

You are making me feel really pleased about nearing retirement. The traumas of working life, eh. Throw caution to the wind Champagne, get your backpack out and travel round the world. Two fingers to them all dear!!

I've had a few bad days like that recently Champagne. Yesterday was the day from hell, I felt so stressed and didn't even break for lunch, but today I thought b***er it, and went out. I had to send an important email to around 100 people, and it kept failing, after hours of splitting the distribution list up, checking and re-checking addresses, it turned out it was just one address that it didn't like, although the recipient concerned insists it's correct, bah!

Campers you need to watch this as they could be attempting to undermine your work in order to attempt to perform you out, nip this in the bud now or it may escalate, get the upper hand on them asap.
