Title: Signed off sick
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 15 December 2007, 13:23:31
I have been V run down for a while, getting out of breath easily, feeling tired and weak, getting easily frustrated, etc.

Doc has diagnosed a "viral infection" and has signed me off work for a week, with the instruction to "take it easy" with plenty of good food and a good sleep pattern.

Whatever can I do with myself with a week off?  :-[  I'm bored already  :-/

Take it easy and get well soon, mate. Nice excuse to wind down before Christmas :y

Sounds like you need a project, though...

Believe it or not, I have no time at all for Cars at the moment. Guess it must be the time of year...

Best thing to do is to go to work. If you're up for promotion the last thing you want is a week off work.  :y

Agreed - HR won't let me go to work if I'm signed off though. And I genuinely don't really feel up to it, at the moment.

I'll go back guns blazing after the weekend :y

I will have to employ someone, and train them up to do my job, before I can even think about going over to Hosting :(

Look after number one James, it gets boring sometimes being off work but if you relax and enjoy the "freedom" for a week, you'll feel much better for it!

Umm. This can be a problem with internal job changes IME. It can hang like a carrot in front of you for a while as all sorts of circumstances beyond your control get in the way of you actually changing. Sometimes it's better just to jump ship. At least you know a solid date when job n finishes and job n+1 starts. :-/

Now if your bored head up my way - the workshops full and the v6 vectra wants putting back together...

Get a set of tent pegs to replace the couple that I bent, and send that tent back up that I keep forgetting about  :-[
