So I'm really sick...really bad bronchitis...I haven't been to work in like 6 days...I'm terrified that I'm going to be fired but really what on earth am I supposed to do? I hate feeling like a defeatist but right this moment, it's really hard to look for a silver lining. I want to *itch & moan a bit because I feel like it :P My sick days have already been used up earlier in the year & when I spoke to the Human Resource head this morning, & mentioned her past suggestion of short-term disability, the airwaves turned frigid. Well, I guess I'll have to take it as it comes....My health is my priority & no one else is going to give a dipshit about it except for myself. You all know the feeling, the only thing your employer wants from you is you to do your job like a mindless drone & God help you if anything prevents you from doing just that which in my case is being ill. It's like they have the impression that I actually enjoy lying in bed, coughing up my guts, & pushing meds into my system...I'm not really sure why they call the Human Resource department a sector to benefit the employees...I sure didn't get the feeling today...but then again maybe she's having a rough day...You know what? Actually, I don't feel like being kind & giving her or anyone else a pardon...when I'm at work I put everything into whatever I'm doing...I've never complained when they dumped giant projects on my shoulder & I had to pull off 14/15 hour days daily for months on end...so I'm entitled to some bellyaching...I'm stuck in a room where there are two windows that cannot be opened because they are sealed shut for 8 sometimes 9 hours a day, my immune system has gotten weaker because I'm surrounded by chronic smokers who like puff fags five or six times a day...The working conditions are inhumane...I mean I'm terrified to think of all the spores & mold that's floating around & growing in the walls especially since they had a flood a year & a half ago...I've never been this sick in my life as I have been after being transferred to my current department...
Ok, I think I'm done bellyaching for now...can't promise anything though, I just come back later today & rant some more...
