Dreading going back to work? Agony touches everyone's lives at some point...
Had a great time doing my regular agony aunt slot on Sue Marchant's BBC radio show and then later on Graham Torrington's BBC show last night - we chatted about everything from flirting to confidence and lots of other things. No one's life is a trouble-free zone - we all need advice at some point!
With the news of a new bomb plot being uncovered it's as if the twists and turns of fantastic American drama Homeland was really art imitating life. Thank goodness they discovered this and can look at airport technology in a new light.
On a completely different and happier note there is a fun sounding programme about the makers of sex toys tonight on Channel 4 - More sex please, we're British gets behind the scenes of Bath-based company Lovehoney...quite a buzz about it! :-)
It's funny how at the end of the bank holiday I get lots of e-mails about people dreading going back to work. The problem is the longer the time off - and the less you like your job - the more you don't want to go back to it.
It's crucial to your well-being to make the most of your situation and to you can hopefully change your job.
TODAY’S TIP: the first thing you need to do is look at what is making your stomach lurch thinking about going back to work? Is it something you can solve or change for the better? Do you need to talk to your manager or someone else to make it better?
If for whatever reason it’s something you can't change - then while you're at work make the most of spending time with colleagues you like while you take evening classes or extra skills training to get you into a job you'd like more.
You can make the situation better but it might take some effort and enthusiasm - definitely worth it!
Take care, Pamx
