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.

Sorry to hear of your woes. Do you still walk with your girlfriends for exercise? You seemed stronger when you were doing that. I have been praying for you to get that job. I will keep doing so. Don't get too down on yourself yet. Hope you are feeling better.

OK Judy, get back on your diet stuff. This is just another sign that you need to get going again.

I am so sad you have so much trouble. You would think by now that you were a valuable employee. KEEP TRYING
