Late replying to this thread but frankly I need a vent!
Returned from a 2 week holiday to a bin fire of work. Nice to know I'm a useful cog in the machine but horrified to realise how key I am in the day to day operation of the firm as well. Trying to parse the inner workings of HMRC's PAYE systems which have decided I owe them £700 odd quid (not my first run in with PAYE being fucking weird, but that's a longer more depressing story).
Only been at work for 4 days and it feels like I've been there months again. Can't focus on anything in the office much, stressed out, and too broke to pay for counselling again!
I've basically already forgotten how chilled I felt on my hols. What's the point?!
Still, I'm standing up and not crying, so there's that at least.
