I returned to work from maternity leave 2 weeks ago. My first week back coincided with a ridiculous deadline, 3 days working late and my designer getting layed off that Friday. This past week has seen approx. 10 more of my co-workers layed off due to corporate "restructuring". Ie: more work for fewer people. With my designer gone my work morale is at an all time low. We made a great team, and I'm going to miss her. I feel sad for her because she got sacked, (although 2 months salary + severence package isn't so bad) and I feel sad for me because the person I'm going to have to deal with as her replacement is a phony backstabbing cunt. Joy.
The last 2 weeks have been pretty hard. The stress level I've been dealing with at work combined with simply having to be at work all day instead of home with Jack has me seriously reconsidering my career choice. Uncomfortable ground for me to be on, seeing as how it's been my main focus for so long. I'd never really considered myself the stay at home type, but now that I have a kid myself I can really see the appeal.
Who wouldn't want to stay home with someone as adorable as this?
Woe is me, who has to work for a living.
