GEEZE give me a break

Do ya KNOW what time of the year it is??? Lots of work...lots of overtime...lots of pain in my shoulder and back. Stress and pain...yippee. Tax day..UGH!!

Ok. My shoulder is still killing me as is my back and i can't take the pain pills cuz they put me to sleep at work and i can't do that right now.

They are offering us 2 hours a day overtime and 10 hours a day on Saturday AND Sunday. And if they don't get enough participation on the weekends they will become "required" of us...they are calling it required now instead of mandatory cuz they think it sounds better. Its all the same. They were going to make it "reqired" for the next 3 weekends but decided not to make this one required to see how many people comply...i am sure the next 2 will be cuz people will wait till it is. Last weekend was overtime too. AHH the good old IRS blues. Hope you all did your taxes. hehehe I was going to wait to send them my check till today but i was afraid i would forget so i sent it last week.

and i posted on Mels blog by the way.

News for the masses

Ok, I am still alive. A little sore and stiff but doing some better. Oh, did i tell you why i am sore and stiff? No i don't think i did. Some of you know that i fell at work. If you didn't, its cuz you weren't at Glo's at Easter and i really missed ya!! Ok..here is the story. I was in the handicapped bathroom stall at work and had just finished my business. When i stood up i kinda turned sideways to pull up my pants for some reason of which i am not sure of now and my pant leg got under my foot and the floor was slick and my foot just kept sliding when i put it down and i fell flat butted on the floor and my back hit the wall of the stall. I hit pretty hard cuz it shook the rest of the stall doors down the line, of which there were several people occupying at the time. (stop laughing) Now remember i was in the process of pulling up my pants so i may have mooned anyone outside the stall. The little mexican lady that cleans the bathroom was out there and said "Oh my miss are you ok?" Well i said yes at the time all that was bruised was my ego. I had to crawl over to the bar on the wall to help myself up since my knees are bad and i can't just hop up like i used to when i was young. So i get up and pull my pants up and suck in my pride and go out to wash my hands. Joyce, one of the girls i work with and know really well, came out of the stall at the opposit end of the bathroom and said..Judy I thought that was your voice (when i fell i guess i said 'OH $HIT') are you OK? I told her yeah i was except for the ego thing. So we laughed a while and i went back to my work area. I told my manager that she may have to fill out an accident report. She goes are you kidding? filling out accident reports for the government is not fun. Anyway, I proceded to tell her what happened. By the time i was done telling my story, her and the girl that sits next to me, my work leader and the clerk were in tears laughing so hard as was i telling the story. She asked if i was ok and did i really want to do the accident report. I said maybe not right now. At that time i didn't really hurt much.

As i sat there though i got a little bit stiffer and soreness set in. By the time i got home i was hurting. Went to Moms Saturday and was hurting a little more. Made it through Easter and went to work Monday. I started hurting really bad sitting there at work and typing was killing my shoulder. I went in to the manager and she started up the paperwork for the accident. I stayed home Tuesday and went to the Dr for the rash on my leg cuz he wouldn't work with the Dept of Labor on a workmans Comp claim. So i had to go out to the ER to see a doctor there so i could get paperwork and X-rays for workmans comp. They took many many X-rays and nothing was broken so he gave me pain pills and had me stay home another day. My manager put on my paperwork that i sat all day and typed all day and the Doctor put on my return to work papers that i should do light work....no lifting over 10 lbs. and no bending from the waist or squating.....Ok...so how do those two things mesh??!??i still had to sit, which was hurting my back and type, which killed my right shoulder. Well i am still hurting on the shoulder and lower back.

Marcia and I started exercising and i am sore from that too....lol I am hoping to work out the kinks on the shoulder but its not working so far...just getting a little bit more sore. It should get better soon (I hope)!!

And i will get the pictures from St Pattys day on here when i can figure out how i did it before. Sorry its taking so long.
