I returned from Mat leave to work this week, into a new role. I love working where I do, but it has been so overwhelming going from staying at home with baby all year to suddenly going back into quite a technical role. There are also tons of new faces.
My baby still doesn't sleep through the night so that's been tough.
We had an all staff meeting today and it was pretty overwhelming seeing so many people again. My closest friend at work was so excited to see me but was so cold to me today and I don't know why. I know that it is on purpose but I don't know what I've done wrong, and it's really just made me feel awful. When I was leaving I jokingly said to her "you were so excited to see me but you didn't even talk to me today!" And she ignored it and just asked me if I'm off home. I think I just made it even worse cos I expected a jokey reply back as that's what we are normally like.
I just feel like shit and want to get back to mat leave. Sorry, I just needed to vent.
