First day back at work, had a health and safety assessment today, got a new chair - standard one with arms, after 30 mins of being quized she told me I wasn't fit for work. 3 weeks is not acceptable and I must ring the doctors for an earlier appointment.
I rang up couldn't get anything with my usual doctor so booked in with the miserable sod I saw 2 weeks ago. Booked that Monday but know he's going to sign me off again.
Seeing how I go today and tomorrow, I'd rather be sat here doing something productive than sat at home staring at a tv screen :/

Who quizzed you and how did they determine you're not fit for work?

 

[Jazzy]

Just wanted to leave a note here. I cannot get the Shout Box to load. If you are leaving me a shout, I am not ignoring you!

~Edit~

Did a reboot and all is good now.

So, she determined you're not fit for work just by asking you questions?

Hello! So full, ate leftovers before work now I don't wanna do anything.

 

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Home from workies!

On the way home someone driving behind me was honking (like not in an angry way, but in a way to get my attention) but when I turned off onto a different street I saw a car I did not recognize.

Yep, asked how long i'd had the pain, rate it on a scale 1 - 10, what doc had prescribed, when my next appointment was, asked about my chair and sitting posture, where the pain was etc etc.

To be honest I think she is right and I have no doubt that my doc will sign me off again on Monday. I've only stayed at work because tonight I'm going to a gig. Hopefully I can find a wall to lean against or somewhere to sit in between bands, plus have a few beers. But if I get seen at the gig and am off work sick that's not going to look good at all!!

Is work getting angry that you're missing so many days due to this?

 

[Raven]

Not heard any angry feedback, just support actually. I haven't had a 'back to work' interview though, I am supposed to have that when my manager gets back from holiday next week.
They are sly though. Act all supportive but then slam you when you least expect it....... Except I know they're game.

I know some of those foxes in sheeps clothing as the saying goes. All nice and then BAM!

[Raven]
