Gosh you've all been busy. Just a quick post to catch up. Had my meeting with management today and ironed out the issues I have with my job and the evaluation. Have been given loads more responsibilities from today (eek) which, along with the new job description, will help to bump my pay back up to where it should be. That's good for my career and I'm really please. BUT it means I've got much more work, at a much higher level, but only for the same pay - not so good. There's no chance of any of us getting a pay increase, more responsibility or not. Heigh ho...
CB - you're right. From what I can tell, the public sector is the absolute worst type of employer to have.
Aidan weighed 18 lb 2 oz last Friday and that's the last ever time I am taking him to clinic. The stupid HV (not my regular one) decided to worry me that he's got a squint (which apparently would mean monitoring by an opthalmologist and possibly an operation in the future to stop one side of his brain shutting down and causing him to lose his sight in one eye). FGS! She finally agreed it's an optical illusion due to him having wide bridge between his eyes, but it's too late. I am now officially paranoid.
FL - lucky you getting your LO christened. I just spoke to my mum this evening who was trying to tie me down to one Sunday in April because "they can't do March, they've got two Sundays available in June, my brother (godfather) is going away for all of August." It's a bloody nightmare - we're tempted to just go to the church and get it done and be the godparents ourselves. I'm really sad actually - we've waited so long for Aidan to come along and I feel he deserves a proper welcome IYKWIM. Feels like we're letting him down.
I just can't remember all your posts I'm afraid and I haven't the energy to scroll up and down so I'm really sorry for not making personal replies. I must sound ever so self-centred.
Well I'm off to bed. I'm absolutely exhausted after this last week. Night all.
