bugger that
I'm going back on my initial 'must show up at work regardless of how things stand' atttitude. I don't think I could have coped with more of the 'understanding and empathic glances and taps on shoulder' from my now "ex" colleagues. I'm sleeping in today. Also, I think it's wholly inappropriate for the two people I want to talk to the most right now to bugger off to France with no means of contacting, one of them camping, and the other camping it up, no doubt.
