    I'm not looking forward to tomorrow :(

    I've got myself into a bit of a situation at work which is not my fault in the slightest, but they're messing me about. Basically, I have to stand up for myself but it's not going to be pleasant and I am pretty much dreading it. But, it needs sorting before the end of term and as there's only 3 weeks left, I need to bite the bullet and do it :( things are never simple :( and it's not fair either! But, it really really needs sorting otherwise things could get worse...

    Argh!

    Good luck for tomorrow SF, I'm sure you'll be fine and say what needs to be said. Definitely not worth letting things get worse rather than sorting it out.

    Thanks :) I know what I need to do, but it's so much easier said than done! :o I keep hoping the situation will magically improve, but I know deep down it wont :( sigh.

    I feel for you, normally I am the queen of non-confrontation :o I also hope that things will magically improve, yes, it is me with her bum in the air and her head buried in the ground....

    Just think nice thoughts about the new job ..... I know it's a while away yet but it will come around quickly (if it's anything like the way this year's disappearing!)

    As I've had no response from email today, I'm beginning to wish I'd never sent it.... :o

    Keiss - hope you get things sorted!
