Well, I have survived! So far anyway!
The two stressful things turned into three!!
First, I had an interview for promotion. That was the 6/10 one on the stressometer. It turned out well in the end. I got it. Yeaaa. Very stressful though.
Next, I can't talk about it - subjudicae - that was the 10/10 one, and t'was a good ten alright. Feicfimis.
Third, we got a little surprise visitor from Mr. Stress - hubby got news that he is facing redundancy. Not pleasant.
I suspect that the hundreds of job losses announced this week were kept under wraps until after the election. What do you think?
So, all in all, a very tough week.
I hadn't time to give the yoga a go, John, or the walk and soak, Conan, so I did a spot of deep breathing as per FMC. It worked!! Many thanks for the support everyone.

Oh dear about the redundancy. Hope he gets a good settlement and taht there's other work in the offing.
Glad to hear you're over the worst of it, and so sorry to hear about the redundancy.
Thanks Conan and FMC. Don't know about redundancy payment yet. Everyone is being kept in the dark. It is very demoralising to have to go into work every day knowing that it's a sham. Other work could be very hard to find. The manufacturing industry in Ireland is on its knees. This company isn't broke, it can make more profit in Poland and Slovakia...
