Nothing exciting - just PA/Office Management.
It's been 5 years this time round and I'm told I won't work again... I had just made it back to work full time a few years previously after building up from part-time! After Con was born (he's 14 now) my pelvic condition made it very difficult to work but i was so determined to keep trying! I went back part time when he was two and a half then gradually built it up from there. But the accident I had at work 5 years ago exacerbated things to the point I had no choice but stop!
And no, I don't think ur silly wanting to keep it quiet, until u decide to share!! It's highly personal and you've obviously already dealt with 'explaining' the career break at interview stage!
Besides it's not all strictly burn-out, is it!! You had medical ops too (ie hysterectomy and hip) and also the ops on ur legs after the fall were hardly due to burnout! Not that u should be ashamed or feel the need to keep any of it secret; that cud be mentally damaging/draining for you. But as for when and who and how much u choose to disclose, that's entirely your call!
Besides they are lucky getting u after all that drama! After all you are a new you, new sexy fit body, new strengthened by pins etc legs, new hip, no ailing internal organs or TOTM probs; and a fresh rejuvenated realigned and sorted-out, cleared of demons and rested mind!!! Lol.
Let's face it, uve had ur share of 'sick time' so you're a much better bet than someone who hasn't and may therefore be heading for a physical or mental crash! Also I'm sure your recent experiences have made u a better and more experienced and empathic person all round! Result every which way I say ... Lol
Phew ... need a fag now lol x
