Thoughts

I was rather upset and frustrated coming home from work last night. And feeling that way made me even more upset. It’s just not worth it!

It was quite slow at the office since most people are off until Monday, (Friday is another holiday here.) so I got a lot of things done. By lunch some colleagues and I went Wild n’ Fresh, which by the way is still blocked by the trade unions. Somehow the place has never been busier… Anyhow, my colleagues and I got talking and suddenly we all realised that nothing has changed. The holidays have come and gone and we are hopefully a bit more rested and have gained some perspectives, but nothing has changed.

We all admitted feeling crummy on New Year’s Day for having go back to work the next day. Not the normal last of holiday blues. But for having to go back to the stress and pressure of constantly having to check and check again that everybody knows what’s going on. And then still the next day or time being caught by surprise with decisions out of the blue and most of the time also being overruled. Lesser things could wear out people… We have all been recommended to take things to a higher level, but it’s big decision and we need to have real and not only emotional reasons for our case. Personally I want to wait until the end of January and see what happens after the executive board meeting. You never know.
