Change of Plans
Oct. 3rd, 2006 11:25 amMy apologies to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darkdanc3r, ilyena_sylph and leopard_lady, but I have to cancel my upcoming holiday. I know, I don't like it any more than you do, but at this point there's no other option.
Look, I got a letter this morning from my boss, who's not in a happy place right now. Apparently he'd been emailing all last week (the week I already told him I was signed off for, on an address I don't often use so wasn't checking) asking for details I didn't have. The last message I sent to him was a week last Friday, telling him that I'd been signed off for all of the following week and put through for tests, and I would let him know what was going on as I had details. So now he's pissed off because I wasn't answering his emails asking for details I didn't have and for being sick for so long. I'm not liking it either, but there's not much I can do about it. I'd have emailed him Friday if Dr Buckman had said anything worthwhile at all.
Anyway, this can be summed up with the following statement: My boss is pissed off, I'm still sick and I can't justify taking holiday so soon after being on long-term sick. So I'm going to have to cancel the holiday and rebook it for another time.
I feel really bad about this. I've been looking forward to this for ages and so have the people I was visiting and now I can't do it because my body hates me and my boss is pissed off. I just don't know what else I can do at this point. I can't afford to lose this job, and it's still a possibility given the depth of piss-off my boss is having right now. I'll just have to do it in the new year, is all. Doesn't stop me from feeling even worse now.
So now I go and get leeched further (more fucking blood tests), then contact my boss and then the people from whom I booked my tickets so I can cancel and hopefully get at least some of my money back. I'd cry if doing so wouldn't make me so much a wuss.
