mrPM

mrPM is currently in hospital, having had a subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleed into the brain). He's had the offending bit operated on successfully. He seems to be his normal self - when asked if everything was working OK, he replied "Well, I've not had a chance to test EVERYTHING yet.."
Seriously - arms and legs and speech all OK and memory and intellect seem fully intact too.
He's not out of the woods yet, though, it seems they can run in to problems at around a week after the event, so he'll be in hospital for another 10 days at least.
Everyone has been so kind, and knowing people are praying for us is helping alot.

work whinge

Not posted for ages, mostly due to being somewhat depressed. There's been a serious outbreak of politics at work at managerial level, and unfortunately I am caught right in the middle of it. All the local people involved think I'm making a fuss over nothing and should just shut my mouth and get on with it (even though this means completely changing my work patterns to jump through the latest hoops). People at a national level have said it's a load of rubbish, and told me not to worry. Meanwhile I don't know who to believe, but am left having to jump through the hoops, otherwise I will not be allowed to work at all.
And now I've been shafted by yet another person at work, so am feeling very alone. I just wish someone was on my side.
