Going back part-time in a couple of weeks and just found out (by chance) that my team and boss are attending an offsite on my first day back and they've forgotten to tell me about it.
I'm going to be based at home, so I'll log on and, erm, have nothing to do. I can't even do my admin/IT stuff as I've done that already!
Can't decide if I'm pissed off about it or not? On one hand, it means I'll have a really dossy day. On the other hand, dossy isn't what I'm really about in terms of work, DD is being shipped off out for her first day of childcare what on earth will I do all day without her around if I'm not busy? and it's a total waste of time... I certainly don't expect them to arrange these things around me given that I've been off for a year and am fairly confident it's just an oversight rather than intentional, but feel like I should be at least invited so that I could either a) join them not that I specially want to traipse into London for the day or b) delay my return by a day.
I had been looking forward to starting back whilst also slightly anxious about DD starting nursery etc and feeling quite emotional that it's the end of an era (ie end of mat leave and hanging out with DD, being a lady what lunches etc etc) so I guess this is a sharp reminder that it's only work.... ride it out until DC2 comes along in a year or so, ride it out until DC2 comes along in a year or so, ride it out until DC2 comes along in a year or so.
And I'm far too stubborn to let on that I know about it to jog their memories !

So my return to work after mat leave is going to be a total anticlimax...
