I won't let it bother me
08.01.2007, 9:20 p.m.

I'm still not feeling 100% yet, but I'm getting there. Whatever it is it has now moved to my throat and my voice is croaky at times in the day.

Was a little annoyed today, I received a text message from the receptionist which I figured might happen what with it being the companys first day back to work after Christmas. What I didn't want to read was how she was settling herself in at MY desk, where she had moved things and what she had done with the things I used. Basically she has thrown it all in a drawer and shoved it out of sight.

The main thought that keeps popping up in to my mind is "Did any of them miss me today?". Afterall out of everyone who was made redundant, I was the only one that remained a constant figure within the office for the past couple of months. Was the lack of my presence noticed? I'm trying not to think about whether they were all talking about me, saying how hard the last week of work was with me working there.

Trying to distance myself from the past is going to be hard if the receptionist, who was is my friend, keeps pulling me back there, reminding me about things or telling me how well the office is doing in 6 months time. I really want to move on and forget about everything that has happened. Mark thinks I should leave her behind too and stop talking to her, that she will just drag me down. I'm not so sure. If I cut myself off from her, it will be spread around the office and everyone will assume I am still bitter about the company keeping her over me. Not that I actually care what the office thinks of me, I don't like anyone thinking bad about me!

I'll see how things go. I replied to her text in a simple tone and didn't ask any questions about work or my desk. I showed no emotion but was still friendly saying how I wasn't feeling too god recently. If I can keep like this and she doesn't mention too many things about work then everything should be fine.

Tomorrow afternoon I have another meeting at the Job Centre. This one is just to sign on, have a look on the computers for jobs and to basically state I am still able to work and actively job seeking. 15 minutes and I won't have to go back there for another 2 weeks.

Yesterday - Tomorrow
