Message in quarantine
1. I finished my 3 days of work yesterday. I worked 25h on the weekend and 6h on Monday morning, so it was quite a lot, but I coped ok. Nursing homes are always busy, although to be quite honest I need to admit that by being an agency staff I am often given easier…

Her name was Absentia so she wasn’t there
1. On Friday morning I finally got an email regarding my occupational health assessment for the permanent job I was offered a few weeks ago. I don’t think I mentioned about this delay on the blog, but never mind. The email was from Absentia Coordinator, which I guess explains everything at least up to a…

News of the year

I decided at the end it needs to be about my own experience, as I don’t even know people with other disabilities (I don’t really know people without disabilities either), and that then made it very…

I’m suffering from writing block
I did notice recently that I get more and more confident with my posting – I can even write a blog post during a meltdown (which is a great exercise btw), but writing scripts for the radio feels like a totally different thing, I’m still in the uptight mode there! I wonder whether I will…

My sick note runs out today
As you may remember (or not, if you just started reading my blog) after a period of being unemployed for a few months (I did some temporary jobs during that time) I had my job induction on 19th of January. The next day my mum passed away. I tried to work for the first month…
