I have been working full time hours for the last three months and at times I have left work early or gone in late because I have had some kind of personal business to attend to.
I think it's good to be present every day, even if it is for reduced hours but today I decided to take sick leave. If I reduce my hours, my pay is docked but if I take the full day off, I get paid for it.
I feel a bit like a kid wagging school.
So, today I renewed my Working With Children Check. It has been a bureaucratic nightmare but it is finally done for the next five years.
I have sat in the sun with Buffy.
I have changed my bed linen.
I have had multiple cups of coffee.
Soon I will put a curry in the pressure cooker so I can have pre-cooked food for another day.
Then I will do my online exercise class and watch tv.
Obviously I don't have a lot to say!
A perfect day.
ReplyDeleteThe change from full-time employment to part-time or no employment is always difficult. Even if you have time to prepare in advance.
ReplyDeleteMy change was totally unexpected, but during long Covid lockdowns, I retired. Each day was full of isolation and lack of direction.
