Sunshine that sucks Your workplace sounds as bad as mine.

I called the hospital for an update as to where I am with everything. If you remember the guy who needs to do my scan had just come back off long term sick. I spoke to the secretary (who was much nicer today as she has just had a week off), and she said that I am now 5th in line. I called 2 and half weeks ago and I was 8th so at least the queue is moving. He has a backlog he's working through of not just gynae patients. But that means I still have to wait well over a month for the appointment.

I'm trying to be cheery but I'm pissed off and hormonal today. I'm due to have my awful days this week and I'm pain already - my left leg is killing me, I look stupid when I'm walking!!! And as work have given me a pay cut there's no chance I can go home early if I feel rough as they won't pay me. I am not a happy Gemma today

[Karen]

Here's hoping it passes quickly! Hope your TENS is well charged!

[pretty]

Sunshine, fvck all those idiots. gallbladder, gallbladder, gallbladder.

Gem, sorry you feel bad honey! but glad the 'line' is moving! come on, scan!

me I'm having trouble focusing on work, so I thought I'd wander around here for a minute. Love you guys!

[hellsbells]

Aaaarghh!! It's taken me over an hour to get onto the Internet!!!!!!!!

[Karen]

1. My computer at work is a piece of sh!t! I'm days away from getting a laptop - it's even IN the office, just not configured yet. I swear, my computer was sticking its tongue out at me today.

2. I have to deal with a complete ass at work. Thinks he's so damn important, the world will crumble without him, and that if the words didn't come out of his mouth, no one would know 'his' information even existed. Sorry dipsh!t, I don't work that way! I won't have to interact with him on a regular basis but today was enough for me. D!ck.

We have a new governor and he's an ass. Even friends that typically vote for his party can't stand him and the way he's going about things. He's been in office for just 6 weeks and he's effectively pissed off just about every state worker by proposing a bill that would eliminate their rights to collective bargaining... WITH the exception of those unions that backed his campaign. As a former teacher who understands first hand what collective bargaining can do to protect the very few rights that teachers have, who are are already taken advantage of already, it really hit home. Emails encouraging people to contact their representatives are flying around like crazy and I just got a response to the one I sent!

So, during our lunch hour today, a few of my coworkers and I walked to the state capitol for a protest. They estimate 10,000 - 13,000 people were there! It was a totally surreal and awe-inspiring situation. I'm glad we participated in it, makes me feel like I sent a big personal f*ck you to the guy in office!

People with power trips and I just don't agree.

Rant over.

[JC]

I'm so tired today I was falling asleep at the wheel. I have no idea how I made it home alive today.

Good night Endo family!

[ouchy2]

GO get some rest!!!

[ouchy2]

And glad you're ok!!!

[Karen]

We were walking back from the capitol today and the wind was awful. It was only about 6 blocks, but I have wind burn on my cheeks. They're throbbing and red! Ow!

And Jenaya, go get some rest. You've been under so much stress lately, take care of yourself first and foremost!!

[painttheseconds]

Hope you get some good rest Jenaya. Take good care of you.

I feel like I've been posting in this thread a lot lately, but here's my bitch of the day. My boss is being a total pain in the butt like usual. Yesterday was slammed at my job because of Valentines Day and I was feeling awful in the morning. I let one of my supervisors know that I might not be able to complete my shift, but that I was going to give it my best shot. After I ate breakfast I felt a little better and knew I could finish my shift. Apparently my supervisor told my boss that there was a possibility of me leaving early so she asked me about it. I replied that I was doing better and she had the nerve to ask well are you going to do a good job or do you need to go home. I felt so insulted. I work hard everyday that I am there even when I don't feel well. I feel so unappreciated at my job and so devalued. I can't stand it or her. She's insensitive and all she cares about is herself.

Paint I know exactly what you mean, luckily the manager who did that to me in work is not in my direct line of management, she stuck her oar in once and got a slap on the muzzle for sticking her witchy nose into our business. Just keep in mind (I feel exactly the same) that you come in as much as is possible, you do your best in the circumstances, and you've been thoughtful of others in trying to give notice of needing to go home early. Remember always that you give 100% of what you have, even when you only have say 50% of your best at hand. Your attitude is what matters.
So therefore you're a great person to have around, you're just not doing so great in yourself right now. And that manager, well karma has a way of kicking your butt and she will find sooner or later that she has to understand how badly a chronic illness can change things, whether you want them to change or not.

I totally understand Paint - I can't wait to get out of my job. The sarky comments masked with a smile, the underhand way things are dealt with; and you know if they had to deal with the sh1t we do, they wouldn't be able to cope!
