Decision Time

Well after much discussion and deliberation I am going to attempt blogging.

 I have read various friend's blogs and thought i wonder if i could do that .... after being convinced by my bestest friend and serial blogger @mummybarrow I have now decided to put fingers to keyboard and go for it.

The last 24 hours have all been about BIG decisions.  

I have been off long term sick for 6 weeks now and my employer feels it necessary to do "welfare" checks.  Now normally i would say "oh that's nice" however in the first two weeks, these calls were made daily (even whilst in hospital) , the second two weeks they dropped to fortnightly (this could have been due to the Xmas break as well) and now they now call occasionally and to be honest i have started to "miss" the calls, as they just cause me to fret.  On three occasions supervisors have been to my home address and on the last occasion less than a week ago I began to feel harassed by the whole thing.

So last night when my Team Leader called to re-arrange a "meeting" which i was unable to attend, due to my ill health, I finally snapped and quit!

I am not quite sure what made me do it, fed up of being treated like a child, being called at various hours during the day to check i am OK.  Stupid question really ... no i am not OK, i am off sick.  If i was OK i would be at work?

So now the major "let's find a new job" operation begins.  Now with unemployment figures being released today that makes me slightly concerned that i might become a government statistic, but i would much rather that than go back to a place where my welfare really isn't their main concern, the fact that my bum isnt on their seat is all they are worried about.

So please keep your fingers crossed for me,  today has been my NYE, the day where i ring out the old and make promises which i intend to keep.  Where i try and start afresh and can try and look forward to a positive 2012.
