Default I don't know what to do

So you know I had pneumonia, turns out I've had glandular fever as well! I'm supposed to start work this coming Monday, do I ring the boss and ask if I can start a week later and tell him why or do I just suck it up?

Part of me thinks if I defer it for even 1 week it will be the beginning of the end and my fear of going back to work will have me coming up with yet another excuse the following week...

Do not let self-doubt rob you of this wonderful achievement. You have earned this job by your own hard work, on your own merits.
So you have had glandular fever. How do you feel deep down? Can you still handle the physical demands of your new job, knowing you are going to get an extra boost of excitement and adrenaline?
If the answer is 'Yes', you are good to go, if 'No', you still have a week to rest up, get in the right frame of mind and leave any negative decision to the last possible moment.

Dave.

Dave,
Have you made a book filled with all these beautiful thought provoking verses??
Just thinking how great it would be to get these published.

Dave, you are amazing, it is self doubt kicking in isn't it, that's why even though I feel very rough you are right, I still have a week to hunker down and get as well as I can be and the adrenaline boost will get me through. The first week is 3 consecutive days of company induction (24 hours induction is bloody long by anyone's rights), I'm not doing anything physical and if I have to, I'll sit on the floor when I need to. No physical exertion demands, just sitting... I struggle to sit still at the best of times. Thank you for being you

No book, just a long-dormant love of composition re-kindled by being around wonderful people.
The brain is regaining some sharpness, the words flow easily, but the double vision and shaking means typing at 3 wpm. Imagine working to a deadline! I would rather share here with my peers.

Dave.

No deadline. Could be a few years of writing down these composition/verses.

Enjoy your sharing them with us.

hi Pam,
how are you feeling today?
(it is 10:25 pm dec 31 here but I know you r in the morning of jan1 so happy new year!)

I don't know how sick glandular fever makes you feel but hopefully you are feeling better. I would say give it a go unless you truly feel too ill. this job sounds like perfect circumstances for you, something you have been wanting and needing. Once you get there and get involved in learning the new job, before you know it, you will be through your first day. First day is Just filling out forms and security badges and orientation type stuff, then 2 more days and you are done. If you don't feel well enough to do the 3 days, well then you know you did your best and gave employment a real shot.
All my best Pam....you are in my thoughts and prayers.
D.
