Going back to work

I have found going back to work this week much harder than I thought I would. I’ve been on holiday before, and going back to work has never been such an issue like this time.

The Christmas break was fantastic and we had plenty of time to get used to waking up late and doing nothing all day. I remember saying once that I would probably get bored of doing nothing all day quite easily, but no, it didn’t happen. You can easily get used to so much leasure time!

But despite the credit crunch and lots of people losing their jobs in the UK, we at Andromeda, are as busy as ever. This first week of the new year has been manic. I haven’t even had time to have proper lunch breaks and had to stay at my desk for most of the time, working, working and working. I was lucky enough to get a pay rise (only little one) just before Christmas, and although it’s awesome, now I feel like I have to prove myself and demonstrate that they won’t regret having done it – because I’m worth it

So here I am on a Saturday thinking how much work is waiting for me when I go back to work on Monday. It’s a dreadful feeling! Is this what you get with promotions and pay rises? More responsability? More stress? I suppose it’s going to take a while for me to get used to it!
