The Old Lady

Stress

I have had possibly my worst day at work ever. And tomorrow will only be worse. but i feel remarkably calm about it. Something i said off the record about someone's professional abilities got put into a note and circulated around whitehall. quite unbelievable. the person concerned read it and was rather miffed, understandably, but has been v generous in rising above it. i feel terrible for even saying it, although in the context of the conversation i felt it was warranted at the time. It is indeed a lesson for me though. not least in how much more gracious some people are than me.

Lots to learn about the baby thing i realise- i do need to get on with that reading!

Went for a drink last night with my friend whose wife is pregnant. it was lovely to spend the entire time talking about babies, knowing the other person wasnt bored or feeling bad for one reason or another. I am v excited about sharing this with such a good friend!
