so far behind...

well I was at work today....day was going like usual then I find out that a co-worker was getting fired. Problem was that this person didn't know about it. my department mgr. had confided this information in me and had me promise not to mention it to anyone else. Then later i hear my department mgr. telling two other employees this same information. What's up with that?? I guess the cat's out of the bag now....then tomorrow when I go into work it will be the talk of the day. What me and some other co-workers are wondering...what took them so long to get rid of this person? "He" was never around when you needed him, always took extended breaks and long lunches. On several occasions he would have a "family emergency" and called out from work. (this happened on paydays...coincidence you think?) From what I heard he opened the deli today, then @9:30am went to work in another dept., was supposed to be back in the deli by a certain time; but he never showed up. We saw him working in produce, but why a higher up mgr. didn't tell him to come back to & stay in the deli is beyond me. Then I am told that they are getting rid of two more from my dept. and one of them is one of the more harder workers and is always nice and polite and rarely calls out. WHAT??? I don't understand who has the right to make these decisions, "keep the bad employees and get rid of the good ones", doesn't sound like a good judgment call from the higher-up management. Anyway will blog more when I have a chance. I need to post some pictures, and catch up on e-mails, and tweet some. But working all kinds of hours with no set schedule is catching up on me.
Still on "Copaxone" for my MS. Haven't had any "seizure" episodes so far. (Dr told me if I had another one I'd be classified as an epileptic). I have a eye Dr. apt on the 9th-will tell you what comes of that later that day. Gary has been laid off for over a month now and is not happy about it. There are times I come home from work so stressed out, and upset at having to do laundry and clean up the apt. and etc-I some times take it out on Gary. I just wish he'd help me out a little more. The program that he's in says that he can't take any job unless it's through the Union. That's just crazy to me. We hope he gets back to work soon. After a certain time we will have gone thru all of our "banked hours" for our health insurance, and will have to start paying @ $300.00 a month, like we can really afford that now. (for those of you who understand the terms "subsidizeing" and are familiar with "COBRA" when reading health insurance articles - you know what we are facing.) Anyway--that's what's going on in my side of the world right now. Just wondering what's going to happen next. Write more later, just wish I had a clone to help me catch up on things around the house or fill in for me at work. Blog more later.
