Phased Back to Work Programme

Today was my first day back to work after my doctor gave me a clean bill of health yesterday. However, she did warn me that I might go to work for a couple of weeks and then end up being off again.

I went in this morning, a bit late because I forgot about the parking situation and didn't allow walking time from the car to work. Straight away I got thrown into a Health and Safety meeting, which was pleasant enough apart from the fact that I (me??) forgot to switch my mobiles on to silent and my personal one went off in the middle of the meeting. I couldn't believe it; that is something I usually sneer at other people for.

After the meeting I was asked to see HR regarding my back to work programme, so I went to see the HR manager. She informed me that I would be best coming back to work on a phased programme. IE I would work half a day today, off tomorrow, half a day on Friday, then work 5 half days next week and then I'm on annual leave anyway. That is when I'm going to Aberystwyth on the static caravan holiday. When I return, I will work 3 half days and 2 full days first week and 3 full days and 2 half days the second week.

On 19th of May I will return back full time. I guess this will avoid me getting stressed again as I found myself get wound up already about the slowness of the PC after just using it for a few minutes.

In the meantime I need to ring the HSA to arrange for counselling as it will be provided free and might well help speed my recovery. Personally. I think what I need is a place of my own but it just is going to have to wait.
