updating

By the end of yesterday I still hadn't received my official dismissal and sitting around at work not knowing what was happening was stupid. So I didn't go in today and went to my doctor instead. She is backing me completely since she thinks they've treated me appallingly and has signed me off sick. She also says I should work on the theory I won't be going back.

My Union can't do anything until I receive the paperwork but will have a meeting with them and strongly suggest that that I shouldn't have to work my notice since she thinks they have been unfair to me.

Meanwhile S is off to New York with work tomorrow and wont be back until Sunday and T has chicken pox. They don't vaccinate against it here and it's been going around his nursery so it was expected. So far he seems fine, just spotty and doesn't seem to be itching. This does mean I'm going to be home alone with him until Sunday and frankly I'm not filled with playing with a toddler energy at the moment.

Oh and the first woman in my mother's group (kids the same age as T) has just announced she's pregnant.

Weird

I'm sitting at work, waiting to receive my dismissal letter and find out whether I have to work my notice. Not sure what I'm supposed to do really.

Glad that's over

As I expected I got the sack. I will get 3 months notice - details to follow after the holidays - but I left straight after the meeting.

Their reasoning is that I haven't lived up to what's on my cv - they didn't exactly say that I lied but they certainly implied it.

Oh well onward and upward - I'm leaving for the UK tomorrow and hopefully a few days with my family will help.

D-day

I have the meeting with my boss today to find out what is going to happen. I'm really not sure what I want out of it. Even if they sack me I'll get 3 months notice but I'm not sure how the hell I'll survive that if they expect me to work it. I'll update later once I know the outcome.

Update

I went in yesterday and it was ok. Boss asked if I was better and what was wrong so I told her (and a few other people) about the cystitis. Oh and my period started today - a few days late - I even did a test the other day (which was negative). I guess it's sort of a good thing since it's not exactly great timing for a pregnancy but then, when is it ever?

I'm home again today though because T is still sick - he's got an eye infection and a cold/flu with a fever. Not sure whether I'll go in tomorrow, my boss isn't there today so it's easier to stay home as long as I keep an eye on my emails and do some work during T's nap and this evening. Also my work number is a molbile so I can be contacted that way too.
