Default Returning to paid employment

With the current situation in the UK being a good few million unemployed, I do worry that should there come a time when I could consider going back to work, if only part time, what chance have I got?

Sometimes I can't get out of bed in the morning .. so do I say .. I can come in most days but there are days when I might not be able to?

I have days where I have to dope myself up with Diazepam because of muscles spasms that the only thing I can do is sleep or lie down.

There are days I just can't drive because of pain.

I can't honestly see me ever being able to get a job.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

Heart Nope

Guess where I was a year ago Saffy......and it wasn't pretty at all.... just ask Rrae. She knows. It was awful. Awful.

Now, I am working outside the home again. ExecVP/GenCounsel at a growing company. Blessed.

You, too, can be. There are even opportunities to work from home for some folks/companies, and the like. You just never know.... keep those spirits up and those eyes roaming the possibilities. That is how all of the job seekers in my group here in the Denver area found jobs.... and if we can.... you may as well.

Stay on top of that pain, and think in terms of "there's no place like the Maldives, there's no place like the Maldives." But be careful about clicking your heels together, or you might wind up in Rae's backyard!!
