WORK!!!



I love my job. Usually. For some reason today, I felt like I was sleeping on the edge of a precipice and rolling the wrong way. Today was my short day - I love my short day, but I went in four hours early to work overtime. I was kind of tired this morning - because my body knows that on day four I get to sleep in. My 6:00 lineup started it off (it's what I call my menopause group - cuz they are all the ladies with huge seniority so they get the good days off). It just seemed like they were doing everything they could to push every button I had. I lost control of that lineup withing a minute and a half. I have a standing rule, no discussion of politics or religion in lineup - my opinion is that they are both inflammatory subjects that can get people's defenses up. One of my menopausers couldn't get "change the subject" through her head when she started talking about a political issue. It went like this all day.

There are times I feel so ineffective. The days I have no control are the days that just set me on edge desperately. Am I so much of a pushover that people feel they can just walk all over me? Do I deserve such disrespect that when I tell you to stop you feel that you just can ignore me - GEEZ - I'M YOUR FREAKING SUPERVISOR FOR HELL SAKE, THAT DESERVES A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING!!!

Today was just a bad day all together. I am now off for a few days, so, hopefully I'll be better when I go back. It's either that - or a couple of people are going to get me to that point that not many people see and once they do, they never wanna see it again - only a few people have seen me THAT MAD!!!

I'm done with my vent - tomorrow will be a better day. It's my grandson's fifth birthday. It will definitely be a better day.

    Hmm....no religion, no politics in line ups? I like it that rule of thumb. Hope you don't mind if I steal it from you. I agree, they're both inflammatory subjects and even when two people are of the same political party or same religion, there are still sensitive issues.

    P.S. This is Amberly (my name's shortened on my screen name)...hope you don't mind that I came across your blog, I love finding new/interesting blogs to read!

CoCo's Journey - Answers!! Finally!!!

 Today I finally got answers!!!  I do not have Cirrhosis!!!  I am Pre-Cirrhotic.  Very close to that precipice but still not falling over the edge and falling into a place that I cannot get out of.  I had seen my gastric bypass doctor a while ago - and was given the wrong information.  I think he was looking at the headline and had not read the story.  It's something I'm good at, too.   My doctor explained that when I was overweight, the fat in my body was damaging my liver.  Then I had gastric bypass and that should have helped my fatty liver.  But, then I wasn't able to absorb the calories, so I became malnourished. My liver was not getting the proteins I needed in order to supply my body with the proper nourishment.  Every organ you have needs protein, and it starts in the liver.  So - the malnourishment started to affect my liver.  Leading to the state I'm in now. The thing I need to work on is getting off the diu...

CoCo's Journey - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...
