Today has been a pretty shitty day tbh, it’s started off all right but went all down hill from about 5.
my collegue who I’ve worked closely with the last 11 years, his partner had a brain aneurysm whilst she was out with thier daughters. The kids are basically the same age as mine. She’s only around 41/42.. she’s a very lovely lady they’ve been together since they were 16. He called me as we are without a manager at present and I’m fairly senior and also the closest to him. I can’t imagine what he’s going through, although he has good English it’s not all there yet. Our ex manager is his best friend and from the same country so he’s been helping him and came to my house to update me, I’ve been messaging area managers etc to let them know. on top of that we had a power cut, DS is autistic and of course with no access to his tech was climbing the walls (4g for some reason didn’t work for a while either, him and dd were arguing about random stuff, DP is currently away looking after his father who had 2 heart attacks last week. Isn’t due back until next week, been away for 2 weeks already . And to top it off the weather has been shit. I’m mentally shattered as I’ve been working 6 days straight as of Saturday and trying to keep kids occupied whilst dealing with personal medical conditions and a raging toothache. I’ve got everything crossed for my friend and his family and hoping his partner comes out of the other side of this.
anyone else had a shit day?
