Baptisim of Fire
First day back and what a day, short list of things that happened
- Computer wouldn't work - set IT on the job
- My new laptop has been assigned to someone else - promised new machine early next week instead
- Emergency fix needed for the system.
- Find out one fo the secretaries was rushed from work to hospital with suspected heart problems earlier in the week - She's now been discharged after tests, but won't be back for a couple of weeks
- Another member of staff is off sick possibly for sometime
- Running friend has resigned to go and work for the customer. He was the one that got my laptop - probably thought it wise to leave before I caught him!!!
oh and when my computer finally started working I had 2047 unread e-mails.
On the plus side I was able to smile my way through the day. Even had time for an appointment with the company Doc. He's told me no more than 5 hrs a day until the end of May. After an opening day like to day I'm quite pleased he said that!!!

The trick with the e-mails is to ignore ALL of them. The important ones will be chased up. The others you can delete. Just put them in a separate folder.
Well, that's what I do!!!
At least you sound like you kept smiling. Well done. But don't forget to keep looking after yourself.

I agree with the others... delete the emails. Everyone knows you were off anyway. Plus like Womble says, important stuff will be chased up. Oh and I'm away on me holidees for a week but can you add me to the new version of skype. Tis the btinternet address.
