Update In Latish Drama

[cdybedahl]

It suddenly occured to me that a significant chunk of what's happened to me lately has been posted friends-locked. Here's a quick update for those of you who are curious:

• My employer (Telenor) said they don't want me working there any more, since I'm not 100% well after last year. After a lot of hard feelings and general upset, and some pointing out that firing people for such reason is pretty damn illegal around here, their position is now that I misunderstood them and they never meant to try to get rid of me. It's just that I can't work for them as long as I'm not 100% well. No, I don't see the difference either.
• Getting that suddenly thrown at me brought back just about all my old stress collapse symptoms from last year, and a couple of their friends and relatives came along for the party. I've been feeling pretty damn crap for the past three weeks, and it's just kept getting worse.
• After the first meeting with Telenor, they agreed to let me go back to my old doctor from last year on their tab. She didn't have an opening until today, unfortunately. Anyway, now I've been to see her, first alone and later joined by my boss, a Telenor catbert and a guy from the union in an Official Rehab Meeting. The doctor strongly discouraged even planning any rehab activities until I'm feeling considerably better, so I'm on sick leave with orders to rest[1] until the end of August. Then we'll see.
• I'm still feeling really crap, but at least it feels like it's stopped getting worse.

And that's not physical rest she means, in case someone's wondering. It's rest as in avoiding stress and pressure. Seeing friends and trying to have fun is also recommended. Although at the moment it feels like either of the last two are at least a couple of weeks off yet.
