Tuesday.

By in Griping, work

Has it really been almost a week since I last posted?

I have been sick-I started feeling tingly last Wednesday, at work, and we took the day off from the gym and part of me feels like that is the reason I got sick, some form of weird punishment from my body. Thursday I visited babies, as per usual, but I tried not to kiss them and slobber all over them as much as I like to. Friday I woke up and couldn’t breathe and spent about 2 hours on the phone calling everyone I could think of that might be able to cover my shift at work, but no one was up for it and I ended up calling in sick and just wishing T luck. I felt terrible doing it but I’d left food in her fridge so she had stuff for supper that just needed to be reheated.

The truth is that I got sick because I am totally run down. I love my job and I love my boss but there are a lot of politics in the organization that I disagree with and sometimes I butt heads with her mother.  I feel like my job is to watch out for one person-my boss-and even if it goes against the greater good, this is what I do.  Tuesday, a week ago, was a day of colossol frustration and anger, culminating with me crying at T’s foot dr’s waiting area. Like a big baby.

Then I lost my Metropass walking to the subway. And I stood on Yonge Street, outside Indigo, and fought back more tears. So it’s no surprise that I got sick.

Now Little Miss Littlepants is sick and I get to take care of her. She’s like a sad ragdoll, all floppy and pink in the cheeks.

I would post a picture of the little thing I made at the first Stitch and Bitch meeting I attended on Sunday, but I will wait until it arrives in the mail at it’s destination in order not to ruin any surprises.

    What is all the butting heads over? Working in a stressfull environment is the worst thing in the world.

    Ugh. I hope you are able to get this sorted out. Going through your day feeling miserable is no way to live.

    I am feeling better but my nose is still runny and I can barely get through 30 minutes on the elliptical at the gym. Ugh.

    Plus I have pms.

    I don’t blog when I am feeling this way because I don’t want things to get too negatory.

  5. Totally understand…

    Take your vitamins!
