Wednesday Roll Call
Hello everyone
I'm actually taking the day off today and I feel guilty. I kept thinking I shouldn't take the day off....but I did. I'm sure my boss isn't happy about it but you know other people have taken the day off...why not me. I also think she thinks I am taking the day off for something important...like a doctor appointment. I didn't lie, she never asked. Actually, Chris and I are spending the day together today. He has to work Valentines Day so we are celebrating today. We aren't even doing anything exciting...we are both tired. So we are just staying in watching movies and ordering in. It's just the fact we are speding the day together.
If you saw my Facebook page you know I had a minor disaster last night. So I am glad I don't have to work today. My sink kept backing up. It was late and I decided to put in a work order online to the management office AND....I hear dripping??? So I stop and go find out what all the dripping is. All the water that was clogged up in my sink is now under my sink and all over my floor. It was really gross because it was pink??? I had nothing pink which meant it was my neighbor's crap backing up into my sink....ewwwww!!!! It just made it even more gross to me. So I called the maintence emergency# and he was there and unstopped the pipes and replaced one of the pipes and all was good. After I cleaned the floor and the undersink area and all of my bottles and stuff that was under the sink it was after midnight. UGH!!!! SO much for a relaxing eveining.
Work is just awful. I got yelled at Monday...TWICE!!!! For something that I feel wasn't really my fault. I am having problems with the system that won't allow me to fully do my job and I have been spinning my wheels for 2 days now. In the mean time I have my boss on my back to get my work for January done!!! I am so stressed out. I feel like I am two steps from losing my job because management needs to blame somebody for problems and at times I feel I get blamed.
Just this week so far so just Monday and Tuesday I have already worked over 30 hours. And after this I will be working until CHris gets up. Yep....I took work home on my day off.
Well see you all later...I am having a nice day even if it kills my boss!!!!
Hi Chris, Crystal and Gang,
Crystal did you say you were yelled at while working?????????????????? There is no instance in which a manager or coworker should yell at you. I once got yelled at by a doctor and I quietly turned off my computer, picked up my keys and purse and walked out. He called me for 2 days before I was able to finally tell him how I felt. By then, he was contrite and apologized. Our relationship was better after that. I dont know how you do it. The stress of learning a new system coupled with other issues would make me physically ill. Also, it is nobody's business why you are taking off. I have never given a reason why I cant come in or why I need to be absent. If I am asked, which I dont recall ever being asked, I would say personal business. The other day one of my staff asked for the day off and started a long reason why. I put my hand up and then said, please it is not my business. Your job sounds difficult at best. I will keep praying for your peace and happiness.
I am better today. Yesterday the detox from carbs made me tired and my thinking was difficult. My brain felt like it was in a fog. I feel better in the mornings with no sugar the night before. I am doing this to feel better and to lose weight.
Crystal, do you know anything about the gym by Michaels on Plainfield Rd. It is hard to get a machine at Inwood after 5p. I am thinking of using Inwood just for the pool and going to the other gym for machines. I heard it is only $10 per month.
Well, I amk off to have an early lunch with a friend who I rarely see anymore.
Hugs,
Sharon
Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't posted yet this week. Let me start from Saturday. Disney on Ice was AWESOME!!! We all had a great time. This was the second year we went, and it will definately become an annual event for us. On Sunday we went to church, then lunch, and then we saw my father-in-law at the nursing home. We did a little bit of running around, and while we were at Wal-Mart, I started to not feel good. I opted not to get a scooter cause I'm sick of using them, so I walked around the store. Of course, I started to get short of breath (which always happens). Then I felt like I wasn't getting enough air. So I sat down, hubby checked out and we headed for home. While in the van, I got a sudden pain on the left side of my head. It slowly went down to dull ache, and right before we got home, I started getting pain in my shoulder and left arm and a little in the upper chest. So I layed down on the couch, took some ibrophen and it eventually all went away.
On Monday, I wasn't feeling right when I woke up, so I called in to work, and later called my doctor. But the reason I called the doctor was because I was returning his call to see him to talk about my blood sugars (we are changing around some meds and I've been running high). So we set an appt for 2:45. I go to my appt, we talk about the sugars, and then I tell him what happened at Wal-Mart and that I wasn't feeling right. Sooooo, he sent me to the ER at Edward (his office is right there at the hospital). They ran tests, and my EKG was a little off. So they admitted me. All other tests (blood, echo, stress test) turned out fine, so they sent me home.
I would love to have just one year where I stay out of the hospital!! It was one year ago today that I had pnemonia.
So today, other than being tired, I'm fine and back to work.
This Saturday is Cabaret night at the Lisle Junior High, and Parker will be playing with the 6th grade jazz band and the 7th-8th grade jazz band. We are really looking forward to it.
On a good note, I lost 5 more pounds! Yippie!!
Happy Hump Day everyone!

Looking forward to warmer temperatures tomorrow! I know that it is going to take a while, but these huge mounds of snow need to melt. There are some that you cannot even see around to pull out on some streets.
Crystal, you totally deserve that day off. I hope that it has been great so far!
Lisa, what an experience! Hope you start feeling better soon.
Nothing really new with me, just work work work and doing stuff around the house at night.
