    OK now I know I have to go back when I'm well enough and I AM starting to feel better. Spoke to my T/L on monday and work have agreed to a phased return - starting on 3 hours a day and increasing by an hour a day each week if that makes sense. So thats good.

    BUT we are targeted. And when I went off sick I was nowhere near meeting my target and I know that I'm not well enough to be able to hit target. Basically they give us two targets. 1) you must close enough complaints each day - if you work 7 hours you must close 5 cases. So if I work 3 hours they will expect me to close at least 2, preferably 3. 2) you have to justify your time. Each complaint is awarded a complexity and you are given a certain number of minutes accordingly. At the end of the day you have to have "earned" enough minutes to cover the hours you have worked. Before I went of sick I was running at about 75% for my minutes and was averaging one or two cases per day. I was doind additional duties to support the team which booosted my minutes. These duties will have been done by someone else in my absence and it is unlikely that I will be allowed to pick these up again.

    Sooooo I am really worried about not hitting my targets and that I will end up on a disciplinary or something. I havent been able to sleep properly the last coupld of nights - difficult getting to sleep and woke up at 5 yesterday and today. I am soooooooo tired now!!!! lol.

    I am off to the GP's today as sick note runs out. I really hope that she will sign me off for another two weeks as otherwise I have to face work tomorrow and I know I'm not ready - just the thought of it is sending my heart racing and I feel all panicky.

    And to top it all I should be studying my OU course but each time I get the books out I can't concentrate and then I get sleepy.

    Not really sure what to do for the best.

    On a good note my mum is coming over today for the afternoon. So that will be nice. Just have to make sure I am washed and dressed in time to pick her up from the station - dont think she would be too impressed if I turned up in my PJ's.

    Sister came over on monday for a flying visit - so I got to make faces at my little nephew - he is 3 months old now and so sweet. I just wish I could spend more time with him so he can get to know me.

    Better go now & jump in the shower have brekkie etc.

    Will back later!

    That sounds horrible. Enough to stress anyone out.
