Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I went into work today, to talk to FogHorn and Battleship about returning to work and also to pick up my personal stuff so it's out of the way of the office move, which will happen Friday.

It turns out that my current sick note actually covers me up to and including Monday 8th December. However - and it's a big however - my sick pay finishes at the end of this month. If I were to take that first week off, I wouldn't be paid for it. Beh. I have to see my doc this week anyway so when I do, I think I'm going to insist that I'm fit enough to go back part time, starting next week. Foghorn and I went to see Occupational Health and apparently I've got an appointment to see them for the 15th (I assume I'll get a letter about it shortly) and they recommend a phased return over a period of four weeks. The good news is, I get paid at a full time rate, even if I'm essentially part time, because it's part of the return to work thing.

I may make some inquiries about what financial assistance I'm entitled to apply for after the statutory sick pay period. There must be something, not everything can be fixed in a neat, tidy time frame. Otherwise, I shall assume I'm going back next week.

*yawns* Spooks tonight, hurrah! Watched The Unit (dear gods, it was lame), and Cold Case (bloody excellent!) earlier and was happy. Now there is food plottings and tea to be drunk!

After hours of dedicated research, lookit what I found :D



I'm not sure now if after all I prefer him with his shirt on ...:P
