Re: not coping

Makes sense @outlander . Please take care though. We don't want to see you have irreversible damage because of these few harder shifts.

You know yourself best.

Has it been okay at work today?

Re: not coping

You live a very busy life @outlander . It's good to keep busy, but I also recognise you need some down time. Do you feel you can manage?

The assessment is on Tuesday, right?
