6th April, 2023.
Yes: it’s now Thursday.
And I have to admit, I’m feeling mildly obsessed.
You’ll be aware I’m waiting to hear the results of a tribunal: that could involved a lot of financial help … and — possibly — some back pay.
I’m supposed to be told by post: and am expecting the letter by tomorrow at the latest.
In the meantime … ?
I’ve been obsessively, and repeatedly, checking my bank: to see if anything’s gone in.
It hasn’t.
I’m — understandably — obsessed: as, with the money I’m getting, any extra help is important.
I’m also wondering if it’s a possible sign of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: but doubt it …
But also … ?
I’m thinking I may not have been awarded anything: the process is taking its time.
Let’s move on, shall we?
