Here We Go Again
When we left the concert Sunday night my ears and head were stuffed up. I thought it was just because it was so loud in there & my natural reaction to all the "special" smoke in the air.
But yesterday at work, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Muscle aches, ear aches, sneezing, coughing, and all around feeling like crap. I went home from work last night, ate a baked sweet potato and went straight to bed.
I went back to my PCP today. I've got ANOTHER sinus infection & ANOTHER ear infection. I got another one of those thick coolwhip burning shots in the butt & 14 days of antibiotics.
When I got back to work I called the "SpeakUp" Ethics Hotline for my work and reported the "powers that be." There are approximately 75 people in this building, and at least 50 of us complain on a DAILY basis that it is too freaking cold. There are a few men in the building in big offices with windows. They keep their jackets on all day and their blinds open and complain of being hot. The office is kept between 68-71 degrees, which is a good 7-10 degrees too cold if you ask me.
The rest of us. We don't have windows. We wear long sleeves & summer sweaters. We have space heaters. We have quilts & blankets. We have socks & houseshoes that we put on when we get to work so our feet dont freeze in our summer dressy sandals. And it's supposed to be 100 degrees today.
I am out of sick time. I don't really have the money to be spending on antibiotics & lost work hours. I had walking pneumonia in December. I had bronchitis & an ear infection in June. Here it is July 11th and I'm sick again.
I'm just about ready to make up an invoice for all of my missed hours, doctor's visit co-pays, prescriptions, & $ spent on soup, Vicks, Gatorade & boxes of Kleenex.... and take it to the office manager in his "hot office."
I'm SICK! of This.

OH NO! It seems with that many people complaining, the dumbasses would do something.

What you're going through is just plain ridiculous. Someone needs to do something and SOON!
Hope things change soon for you!
