Disappointment is my life.

Well so much for the job i love...back to the one i hate. Yes they ended our detail and not sure if i get to go back and finish it...nobody wants to give you a direct answer. It's like well we aren't sure or maybe if the work load picks up again. But the reason they gave for ending the detail at this time was they got a lot of stimulus payments in that they didn't expect to get and they needed help getting them done. The thing is they just laid off people last friday and again some more on monday and then brought us down tuesday. Then when they get us down there..they lay off 5 of the people we had upstairs. AND...where is all this stimulus they needed help doing...i have done about 3 bundles of it since we came downstairs. Why can't they just be truthful about what they do and stop beating around bush. IRS is good at that kind of stuff. Guess since i have worked there so long i should realize not to get happy about anything they do. So now i am stuck back in the job that i totally hate...data conversion instead of SCRIPS where i at least like the work. I am waiting on them to put the jobs on the board for the one i just left and LOVED. But knowing the way they pick people to get new perm jobs i know i am just stuck in a dead end job that i totally HATE.
I can retire in a few years from there and then maybe i can find something else to do. Who knows.

OH and Thursday the fire alarm went off in the center parking garage and made us have to evacuate the building. Well it was a malfunction but that had to be discovered. in the mean time we had to go down 6 flights of stairs to get out of the building (thats two sets of stairs per floor so it was like going down 12 sets of stairs) which killed my right knee. (the fire safety people made me go down which they weren't supposed to do cuz i could have stayed in the safety zone behind the firewall untill it was determined it was a real fire then a fireman would have helped me down). Then when we got downstairs...i had to walk another 1/2 mile to the safety zone outside and the sidewalk sloped downhill...so i twisted my knee cuz they were like rubber coming down all those stairs, and once we got out there (i only went half way cuz i said..no more) they called us back in. I went into the parking garage and up the elevator which was clear across the garage and by the time i got up there...my chest felt like someone was cutting off my air. Mary went to see if my inhaler was in my bag..which it wasn't cuz i forgot to put it back in after cleaning out my desk upstairs and i emptied everything out the night before. So i ended up in the nurses office (taken there by wheelchair) and they luckily had an inhaler for me to use and keep. Also where i sit now in data conversion is clear at the back of the building. Then i had to have my picture taken for the new badges they are giving us so i had to limp to the room where they were taking pictures and back to my seat which the stupid manager i have now didn't tell me exactly where the room was so i of course walked further than i needed to and had to come back to it.

So friday i8 didn't go to work cuz i could barely walk. I keep having charley horses in both calves and my right ankle and knee are messed up. My back is killing me too.

My Life stinks.

I grew another appendix!?!?!

You all know by now i was in the hospital a couple weeks ago for an evening, night and part of the next day. Went to the Dr. two weeks ago Wed. cuz i was having severe stomach cramping (like labor pains and had me doubled over and in tears they were so bad) and the runs. I just wanted something to stop the scoots and take away the pain in my gut. well I didn't get to see my Dr cuz he was gone so i saw the nurse practitioner. Usually she is pretty good. So she was pushing around on my stomach and said she thought i needed a CT scan and some blood work done. I went over to the hospital and they took my blood. Then they sent me up to the Diagnostic and Imaging Center in Independence for the CT scan. On the way home (Tanya took me) we stopped at Sonic for something to eat cuz i hadn't had anything to eat all day and it was around 3 or so. My phone rang and the nurse asked me if i was close to home and i said i was in Lees Summit. She said "we think you are having an appendicidous (sp?) and i needed to get to the hospital and i told her that unless it grew back no i wasn't. She kinda laughed and said OH...let me get back with the Dr and see what is up. They had seen some swelling and fluid on the lower right quadrant of the CT scan. So they called me after i got home and said they wanted to do some more tests and that they wanted to give me fluids and pain medicine through an IV and would i go to Belton hospital to be admitted. I had to find someone to take me cuz Tanya had gone back to work when we got home. I called Marcia and she said she was painting but she would stop and take me. I get up there and they take blood and start an IV and get me in my room and best of all they gave me morphine for the pain!!! YEAH finally the pain is gone for a while. I don't get any food or drink till after the tests the next day. The IV kept me from being super thirsty so i was fine. Amanda came after i called her and she brought her room mate with her. Marcia was glad cuz she hates hospitals and she left after Amanda was there a bit. Then i got ready for bed and had forgotten to put the hose with the mask to my CPAP machine in the suitcase...so i called Tanya and she brought it up to me. So then i go to bed and wake up every time they come into my room...ugh. I gave up at about 6 and just stayed awake. I only had to have morphine about 3 or 4 times the whole time i was there. So when the Dr came in he said i could probably go home and he didn't need to use his knives on me...i said good deal. And he had them cap off the IV so i had no more fluids going in. They took me to Xray and got a bunch of films. Then i had to wait an hour and a half for them to come and get me for the inter vaginal ultra sound. Woo Hoo...i haven't been violated like that in years. Uncomfortable but bearable. So i get back to the room and am waiting and waiting...i call the nurse and ask if i can have some water and food. They sent their high school volunteer into my room with a paper cup of water. I said..ummm can you fill my cup with ice water? 20 min later she comes back and says...they said you can't have anything. I said...the Dr said i could after the tests and they are done...she goes back to the nurses station and 20 min later comes back and goes to fill my cup. This was around 11 and she says...they said they will get you a tray. So i wait and wait and wait. 12:30 the nurse walks by and steps in and asks if i ever got a tray...i said..umm NO. She goes out to the food cart and brings me in a tray...which had been sitting on the tray since 11:30. I have cold fish, cold potatoes, cold green beans, hot pudding and hot peaches. YUM...but i was hungry so i ate it. Then around 2 the nurse brings the discharge papers in and said i can go home at 3. They didn't find anything on the ultra sound so they and I still don't know what was the matter. I called Marcia at work and she stopped and picked me up on her way home. SOOOOOOOO...i still have no idea what the matter was but all i knew was that the pain was gone and i missed 3 days of work. All i wanted was something for the pain and the scoots. sheesh.

I am all better now and still wonder what it was.

And speaking of work...did i tell you that i LOVE my new job? hahaha. It's going good and i still love it. I don't want to go back to my other job for sure.

There's my update. Sorry the story was so long.
