I am at the end of my rope at my job. I just can’t stand it. They are not even being realistic, muchless fair, as I am scheduled for 6hrs on 4th of July — then have to go into a 10hr shift immediately after I get off… with only 30min in between. I am literally scheduled for 16hrs in less than a 18hr period! This is flippin’ nuts!! They should assign holiday schedules based on whether or not you work that day and what your normal hours are for that day, then if you are normally off – you are off and if you work, you work your normal hours. If you want the day off, then request it off in advance and then have that list be based on seniority. By doing it this way, eventually you are *naturally* scheduled off for a holiday every couple of years. You could also attempt to change your schedule before the holiday if you really wanted to compensate too…
Work, overall, has just gone to hell. Still no overnight supervisor, the callers are getting meaner and meaner, and the workers are all growing dicks from the side of their necks! The politics and drama is running the place into the ground. It is negative just being in the building. Everyone talks about the “budget cuts” and how we are all getting the short end of the stick, from losing our overnight security to the overnight supervisor position being paid less than agents do taking calls on the floor. We are losing employees left and right too, as the pay is that low and the conditions (mental and physical) are deteriorating. I have to make it long enough to figure out what the heck I am going to do about my apartment situation, as I need a job with a history of at least 6months to show my financial stability.
I have until July 1st to decide if I am moving out by the end of August. I can’t afford the deposit for a new place right now, so it looks like I will be stuck here until I can save up enough money for a NEW DEPOSIT someplace… argh… and we can’t have pets here and I am lonely. I don’t want to stay in my current apartment complex, I need a smaller place that costs less. I just don’t have the money to save and get somewhere, rather than barely treading water and living paycheck to paycheck.
My jaw is going insane… the TMJ/ TMD has only gotten worse since the powerchain was put on a little less than 2 weeks ago. My jaw is cracking, popping, and clicking almost constantly again. I have increasingly worse migraines each day, dizzy spells, and my ears ring sometimes. My neck hurts, my jaw feels swollen and puffy, and my ears are killing me. I haven’t had a flare up since braces were put on – in fact, the braces reduced these symptoms immediately! My stress level isn’t helping, but the pain is so bad I am having trouble sleeping… and I am nauseated because I can’t seem to control the pain. Yes, I am calling the ortho this morning when they open at 830a… but there is no doc in the office, so I will probably have to wait until sometime next week to be seen and evaluated AGAIN – I am frickin sick and tired of going to the office every 2-3 weeks, but it isn’t my fault. I sure hope they aren’t closed next week or I am just screwed in the jaw!!
I feel like screaming, actually I feel like cutting. Oh and yes, I am now angrier than snot.
