    Fair enough. Have you been back to your GP recently?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    How does your wife feel about it all?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I've got another appointment on Thursday, but I might have to arrange an appointment for Monday to get a sick note.

    My wife is leaning towards accepting the settlement, but she wants to see the details before we make a decision.
    If I decline and keep my job, I face having to go through another capability procedure in the future and they won't be held to offering another settlement; I understand that my union rep pushed for them to offer one this time.

    My son's school has sent me a message asking me to phone them tomorrow regarding the possibility of working for them in a similar capacity, but I didn't know about it until this evening so I'll call them tomorrow.

    That's it, but if I understand correctly I would be part of a team, so I wouldn't effectively be spinning hundreds of plates.
    I'll find out when I give the school a call.

    I called the school and they said it was a temporary position to fill in for their technicians on leave.
    I can't start right away as I'm still recovering from my previous job and the fluoxetine might be contributing to my low mood while I get used to it.

    But he said to give him a call in a few weeks anyway as there may be a longer term vacancy open.

    As far as my feelings are going, I'm quite relieved that I don't have to go back to my old place of work, save for emptying my office. I just need to arrange a time with them.
