    Cheerful and terrified. I just handed in my notice after a year of two partners killing each other and many HR meetings.

    Assume you have something else lined up? Either way, best of luck with the change, a toxic workplace is definitely something worth getting out of.

    If it's any consolation, I did the same due to a boss I just couldn't work with. Didn't have anything lined up just had to get out of there. Worked out fine in the end and your mental health is more important.

    Very best of luck and fair play to you, life's too short to dread going to work everyday.

    Oh wow, Jude! Best of luck! Leaving a job, especially if you've been there a while is exactly that combination oof cheerful and terrified.


    I'm cheerful right now, because I have registered for my vaccine. Bring it on! \o/

    I did the same, registered on Sunday even though I shouldn't have until today too. I only thought of it because I remembered seeing someone saying on here that you could register ahead of your actual day.

    That would be me.
    Was advised to do it by older mates who'd done the same thing. Dunno if it speeds up the appointment but at least your registered nice & early.

    Got the magic message today- getting my dose 1 of Pfizer vaccine on Thursday.
    Excite :) especially as I'm only registered barely a week, I was thinking I'd be waiting longer!

    Great to hear that Posy. Make sure to take a couple of paracetamol about 2 hours before and then every four hours for the rest of the day. Make sure to drink plenty water too.

    We just had a wonderful day in West Cork. Weather was beautiful and I had a catch-up with a friend that I haven’t seen in person for about 18 months - sheer bliss.

    Had originally gotten my 2nd appointment for saturday (which would have been 27 days between jabs) but cancelled it as we had the weekend away already planned, was pleasantly surprised to get the new appointment so quickly after requesting another one.

    Hearing theres more of a reaction after the 2nd one from my friends who've nearly all had it now, but panadol, fluids & 24 hours later were all fine.
