That one ended in tears

August 1 – Back to work, again.

I wish it had been an easier first morning. The business got through the week without me – as I expected. Sure, there’s the usual pile of stuff to do – much of it because systems require me to sign some things off. I can do all that.

No the problem was quite different. AM was in my office in tears. The problem of giving away your finance director at her wedding is she comes back when the marriage hits problems – and it transpires her husband is having an affair – and was before they married.

I think that marriage is over – and that he’s a fool, but there seem to be any number of them in the world.

In the meantime I have the fall out of this to deal with: a profoundly unhappy AM who is going to need some emotional support for some time to come.

Whoever said being a director was easy?

is it just me or is this site playing up?

Sorry CEO but about 10 of yur readers this morning have been me! Almost every time I go to this page the site kicks me back to the blog index page. Is my mouse having a wobbly or is it this page?

More importantly massive amounts of sympathy to AM!

How sad

That's a real shame. If I remember rightly, isn't AM the one who rumbled you and who therefore reads this blog? If so, then I'd say to her that she has always sounded like a very honest person who can be relied on to act with integrity. No-one deserves to be treated like that, and she even less than most. I'm sure that having work colleagues who can reassure her that she will recover from this will help to get her through it.
