Return to Work

It’s official - I have stabilized which means the next big hurdle is……returning to work.  I go back to work in January, and to say I am ready for it would be a lie. I’m going back right to the end of quarter/end of year/start of the new year madness.  It’s honestly the worst time to go back to work, but it is unavoidable.  At the moment I have zero plans on how to manage the chaos. Aside from having an open and honest conversation of where I am mentally, and hoping we can collectively come up with a transition plan. I have been out for 5 months so there’s no way they haven’t transitioned some of my responsibilities to other people on the team. I can’t just jump in and take everything back - that would be chaos.  I’m hoping I can get a lay of the land during the first week, then spend the weekend coming up with a better plan of attack. Otherwise, I’ll be sunk faster than you can read this blog post, and nobody, especially me, wants to go backwards like that.  That's the worst case scenario though and I’m done planning for the worst case scenario.

Onwards and upwards!
