I was going to include this in my customer rant, but it doesn't really belong there and it's a little quieter here.
I am drowning in work. I came back from holiday last week and I haven't had an easy case since. (I thought I had 2 but both had problems when I added my notes to our case recording system, one doesn't match with other information from the customer who probably didn't understand because of language problems so I'm having to track him down and the other has incorrect notes on the system which need to be removed).
We are at risk of redundancies because of huge cuts in funding. I am both potentially at risk and one half of a union representative so this is adding so much stress to my life it is unbelievable.
I am struggling with depression, and keep getting behind at work. My manager has so far ignored hints that I might need a bit of allowance made, I can insist but if I cut down my workload that is one of the things potentially looked at for deciding on redundancy criteria....
I guess if things get much worse I need to see a doctor. If the doctor certified I needed extra time etc. I don't think they could use that against me for redundancy because of discrimination rules. I'd really rather not have certificates about this on my file though...
On the plus side I felt positive for the first time in ages this evening. I'm going to write a self-help book, "Beat depression with flat pack furniture". After work I assembled my new Ikea sofa and I felt so pleased with myself. My mother classifies me as an anti-social Amish type (lone barn raising).
