                            Sorry to hear about the turtle, I woulda done the same thing and try to help it.

                              Guess I need to vent for a tiny bit…..

                              Im in my 3rd week of not working. My Dr put me off on leave due to the stress of working backshift— which has greatly increased the frequency of my migraines, causing me to use more meds which mess me up and knock me out… and all of this not feeling well along with being awake all night has my system all messed up which has all contributed to my depression flaring up. Migraines, and boughts of random crying…. I just couldnt take it any longer.

                              Mind you I never wanted backshift….. work slotted me there when I got hired full-time from part-time. That was great news there, but there was no reason for them to slot me onto backshift when in fact there were empty spots on the shift I had originally been working. So they moved me to a place on backshift where I wasnt really needed and left the other spot empty….. so I figured all I could do was try.

                              For 6 months I tried !! I waited for other spots to open up so I could bid back to where I want to be…. 18 yrs seniority should have made that easy, but one thing after another happened which blocked my plans. It almost seemed like management was out to get me….. πŸ™ And not to brag, but Im one of the good workers there, I actually did take pride in my work and worked hard and went out of my way to ensure things were done right. Ive had many a supervisor from my old shift tell me they wished I was back in my old section/shift…. but for some reason things just havent fallen in place for me… yet. I used to LOVE my job, but now I have come to hate it.

                              So I cracked…. after trying for 6 months I just had enough. And to make matters worse a fellow coworker who just recently got hired as a Full-timer, in another classification than me, was also put onto midnights… and he refused to even try to do that shift, he went to his Dr and got a note and was accommodated in less than 2 weeks. And get this… he was put in the spot I had been waiting for all along. And I know for a fact he doesnt have health issues like I have. He doesnt actually own the spot, he is only being accommodated there… but still…. he didnt even try to do backshift. And he is placed into a section in a diff classification than what he was even hired to do ! ( huh, and me being the nice person, when I first found out he got hired I told him to go to the Dr as he said he didnt want to work the night shift… I TOLD HIM to do this ! But you know I never once in a million years thought he would get it SOOO fast and that he would get the spot I wanted…. ) …..

                              So thats what I get for trying to do things the RIGHT way…. I tried for 6 months and all I got out of it was being really depressed and sick from migraines, plus I put on a LOT of weight. And thats what I get for being nice and trying to help him out…. it comes back to haunt me. So here I sit at home now… depressed. I want to work, but I cant do backshift… so I wait for them to accommodate me to another shift. Im currently getting paid…. but my claim is pending, so in reality if it gets denied I will have to pay back what they paid me while I was off. Plus my mind spins and thinks too much, I worry about loosing my job…. or I worry they will force me back to midnights, or that people at work will now frown upon me for being weak…. and I sit and wait. My caseworker was supposed to call me last week, and she didnt so I called her and left a message. She has still not phoned me, which also makes me worry πŸ™

                              I just want life to go back to normal…. maybe I should have never tried to go fulltime πŸ™ And yes, I do believe that the nicer you are, the more you get shit on.

                              ok… end of rant…..

                                  Ever have one of those days where you don’t feel like socializing with anyone and where you’re too drained to act happy? Well its one of those days for me so Im calling in sick to work, even though Im out of sick time and may get in trouble, I just dont care. I have no reason to feel like this and every reason to be as happy as a. …whatever that saying is….but I just want to sleep today. And hide away from the world….Im feeling overwhelmed I guess and need a break. It could be my migraine that has triggered this mood…..

                                  But I just wanted to whine about it…while lying snuggled up on my couch.
