Hi all,
About 2 weeks ago, I was having bad lower back pain and chest pain. I went to the doc and the PA gave me anti-inflammatories and said the chest pain is either acid reflux or costochondritis. She also gave me prevacid because if it was acid reflux is would get worse with the meds. So, I took the meds and didn't need the prevacid. I went back for a follow-up Monday and I was feeling great, no more pain, so she said it was just inflammation and that I might try doing a few pushups to build up muscle in my chest to try and help prevent it in the future. This week, my incision from my surgery in February is giving me trouble. I am feeling sort of a numbness or something and I notice it more when I stand up from sitting at my desk. I also am getting my chest pain back, have a mouth sore and my eyes are really sore.
I am blaming it all on stress because I am under a lot of it. I have so much work to do and it keeps piling up that I don't even know where to begin. Right now, I have 77 emails to reply to, I have my daily work, plus a scanning project consisting of 100 file cabinet drawers that need to be put into order, entered into the database and then a summer worker is scanning the files, work with the database consultant, and now train people from China.
My assistant is just spending all day on the internet. I mentioned it in her review, then yesterday I had to go up to her and tell her that she needed to start working and it is like she doesn't care what I tell her. Next step is going to be to write her up. I hate confrontations and stuff like this so it just causes me anxiety, not to mention how mad I am over her actions and then I am also working overtime to try and get things done, but I am on salary so I don't get the overtime pay. The other thing is that they gave her a good raise even though I had those comments, so it was like praising her for not working and to top it off, they gave me a lower % than they gave her.
There is tons more to complain about, but I am really thinking that this is just not worth all my effort and aggravation when the entire company is as bad as her or worse and the whole thing is a joke. The boss is even a joke. I have worked here for 9 years on July 19th and frankly I have just about had it. I think that just for my own sanity that it might be time to find a new job...I would really rather work for and with people who actually care and take pride in their work and don't constantly try to stab everyone else in the back. I feel like I am back in school and most of these people are older than me and should have moved on from those kinds of actions a long, long time ago.
Sorry for the rant, it is just really getting to me.
Take care,
Lisa
