Wow... What a week i've had..
It starts with me finding out my ex has moved on and has someone else. You know what, as much as i know us not being together is for the best in the long run. That hurts... That hurts like fucking hell. Not a good start.. So then. I get a phone call off the estate agents telling me that i have the flat i've been after!! I'm going on Tuesday to sort everything out and pick up the keys! This will be so, so good for me and i truly can't wait.
Along comes Friday. I go to the hospital and my surgeon tells me that my elbow has deteriorated considerably and that i will require surgery very soon before the bone that hasn't healed started damaging my nerve. 18th of July to be exact.. After the operation, lifting anything heavier than a pint will lead to damage to my elbow and will quicken the inevitable arthritis i will suffer very, very soon in my life.. Pretty devastating news. Always expect thing to... heal. (This was due to a motorcycle crash that some of the people on here may remember)
Bring on Friday afternoon! ..I get to work and ask to have a meeting with my senior engineer and manager. I explain to them what the surgeon has said and they say they will absolutely support me best they can and that my health is far more important than work.. They then also drop.. quite the bombshell and tell me that the project i've been working on with a colleague (who has now left) for years, (who was presented by Rob, my senior engineer as i was in Guildford the day before) has impressed senior management so much i'm being sent to Japan to present it to much higher, HIGHER.. management to potentially be implemented in affiliates worldwide (providing all the data still checks out) ..I leave on 20th October for 6 days.. Fucking.. YES. It will be amazing.
..... My brain is... So.... i don't know how i feel.
