> Tex, you are getting the respect you deserve. You have impressed your colleagues in a very short time at this new job, and they are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. They know that there is something going on in your life, and they care about you enough to allow you the time to deal with it.
Thanks, I guess it hard sometimes to accept that I'm being respected because I've never had it before (but always knew I deserved it).
> You will put in an extra 30 minutes here and there, and gain some good graces. I know that when you go back to work on Tuesday you will feel like you've been given a fresh start. It will be wonderful.
I think so too.
> In the meanwhile, you take extra good care of yourself. If there are things that you can fix that are under your control, then take care of them. Maybe you can do some loads of laundry and feel some pride in the accomplishment of transforming a pile of textiles into folded neatness? This will give you some hope and the organization will make you feel more positive about yourself and your life.Good advice!
> yes- whatever you are doing, keep it up. I try to keep my personal drama out of the office dynamic, except to the extent that I need to inform them about "feeling unwell". This will keep your colleagues focused on TexChic as a colleague and an employee, which is a very positive image, I think.
That's what I'm going to try to do. I've always let too much personal stuff into my work life, I'm trying very hard not to do that with this one. Thanks for all the kind words.
