I'm tired of trying to deal trigs
| Wed, 02-02-2005 - 7:05am |
I am sitting here crying at my desk and I don't care WHO sees me. For some reason a job that was easy a year ago is almost impossible now. I can't seem to do anything right! I am constantly getting told off for not doing this right and not doing that right...blah blah blah. I HATE trying to deal with normal people. I am getting tired of dealing with everything in general. Unfortunately my "excuse" doesn't matter to my managers. They'll simply tell me if I can no longer handle the job then "GET OUT". I think I'd go "off the deep end" if I loose my job. I would feel like such a failure, especially when I was so good at it only a short time ago. Why did I have to be born so "abnormal"??
Sorry so negative!

Jodie, honey...I'm really sorry you're having a rough day today...and I am so angry too at the way so called "normal" people treat us...it sucks and I'm sorry.
Jodie,
Ditto to what Kelly said about the job and your being loved here.
Dealing with "normies" can be tough because they don't think they have anything wrong which we know is BS.
I no it's not what you want to hear but, your ability to work is attached to your swing. I used to have 3 month cycles and my work record shows it! I wish I could tell you how to stop it. I just don't know. I never figured it out.
Take care of you today and let us know how your doing.
Love,
Jamie
Love,
Jodie,
I know where you are coming from. I worked in a very stressful position for 5 years. It use to be so easy, then all of a sudden I was making mistakes, forgetting to post this or that. Forgeting the laws for the state, etc...
I demoted myself. I went from a high end stressful job to a perfect job. I still work for the same State Dept., and I still make the same money. I wasn't going anywhere messing up, so I applied for a job in the records room. I LOVE IT! I work at my own pace, no phone calls, I can wear head phones. I got really really lucky. Literally the only thing that has gone my way for years.
Had I not done this, I would either have (I'm serious here) went postal on the office or just done away w/myself. See if you have any other avenues to take in your office. I hate to see you go through this. It's hard, but you have a medical condition. I doubt they can leagally fire you. They wouldn't fire a heart attack victim you know. Go to HR and see what you can do. I wish you tons of luck and send even more hugs. Cry....let it out.

Jodie,
What everybody says about them not being able to fire you because of your disability is true--but you have to notify them of the disability and ask for accomodation (they have to do what's considered "reasonable", although what the definition of that is, is very open).
Ditto to what has been said.
I just wanted to add a great big hug from me!
