Very mixed up about work

[EnlightenedOwl]

Nothing bad but...
worked for Company for several years. Without bragging am good at what I do. However.
Currently work in a team which is very cliquey came into the Company as an established team I knew this when I went into it.
My immediate boss within the team - brilliant, work well for him, he regards my work highly am well thought of in the team, I hope.
But.. sometimes feel like square peg in round hole they are all very for want of a better word hooray henry type I am very down to earth not overly bothered about materialistic things, expensive holidays etc.
Also what's bothering me is stupid really, long story, cannot have children, or not easily anyway, a lot of people in the team experiencing pregnancies, engagements etc and I suppose feeling a bit "left behind"
Immediate colleague is very difficult has been offhand all week as I am now on annual leave and she will have to take the strain but I have done this for her on many many occasions including covering her extended period of sickness absence
Wondering if a lot of this is to do with hitting 40 but wondering if a change of career is needed, but the job is well paid with good bens...

I would say if you are feeling unhappy in your job a change would be good for you. However sorting it out would be much better for your self confidence.
Where ever you work someone will always be announcing pregnancy, engagement or showing off with fancy holidays.
They might be being a little bit off hand but maybe, just maybe they are aware you are feeling sensitive/jelous and dont want to upset you?
If your co-worker is being funny about you taking your leave, so what, not your problem. You are entitled to it, it is not your job to sort out cover. She might be worring about work load but she won't resent you for taking your entitlement.
Try to get involved in the team, treat yourself! Take yourself off for a relaxation day and have a little brag about being free to do what you like with your time :)
