Going back to work.
As the day gets closer to me returning to work, 11 July, I'm beginning to feel more and more apprehensive, anxious, nervous, worried etc. In fact I could just keep going but I'm not. I'm also determined to get things changed for the better and will be a stubborn pig until they are changed.
I spoke to my Union rep yesterday and explained my situation. When I told him the reason I'm going back is because it's the only way to get things moving, even though I'm not 100% fit, he said he'll do all that he can to help me, talk to my manager and then get back to me. I don't know how my manager will take it, me taking to the Union, but I feel it;s the only way I can give things the kick up the backside they need. Otherwise it'll just be a case of, 'nothing's happening now, so just leave it for a few weeks and see how it goes.' NO WAY! NEVER! When I go back it's with the sole intention of getting out. I know I have to get out of my current job as staying where I am will only result in me having to take time off again, which is something I can't afford as I'll be on half pay.
So many times I've taken the crap and the bullshit from management at work without saying too much back, but from 11 July things are going to be different. They made me ill with the way they treated me, not listening to me, so now they ARE going to listen to ME and what's best for ME! if they don't like it, well that's just tough shit. I'm through with being the nice, well behaved, little boy who put's work above his own health. I'm now a man who puts ME first! Work can just go and fuck itself.
