Hey,
Just need to get a stressful situation of my chest.
Have had a week of work and come back this morning to bad news galore. I am due to leave work on 9th May for my Maternity Leave. I only have 10 and a half days left of actually being in work.
Got called into a meeting this morning. One of my Colleagues whom has been trying for a baby for 10 years has had an ectopic pregnancy. She will not be back to work for at least 3 weeks. She is absolutely devastated and is not ready to talk about it just yet. I am not allowed to contact her in case me being pregnant upsets her more, which is understandable. I am totally devastated for her as she wants a baby so desparately and this is such a blow to her. She had the op on Saturday to remove the egg.
In addition to this, my Boss has announced she is going into hospital next week to have a tumor removed. She did not say anything else but she was very distressed, and given that i don't like the woman very much, i feel so bad for her. I am so upset that everyone around me is having such a hard time.
The two colleagues who are going to be off are part of the 5 strong Finance team at the college where i work. Noted that I am part of the team too. This means we are currently 2 members of staff down. I have been asked to go and cover for them at the main campus, where i will work with the remaining two members of Finance. One of them will be going on holiday next week. Which leaves me and the Director of Finance to hold fort. I am totally daunted by this idea as there is a hell of a lot to be done.
I came to work this morning totally looking forward to my last 3 weeks, i know now they're going to be the most stressful 3 weeks at this job yet. I feel guilty about feeling so stressed when my colleagues are in so much pain. I feel so out of control.
Sorry about the long post, just needed to vent.
Thanks
