[LOPSIDED]

TODAY I WENT INTO WORK IN THE LOBBY, MY NORMAL JOB. MY CO-WORKERS WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE ME AND THE MANAGERS SEEMED OKAY. I KNOW I WILL GET WROTE UP FOR THE MISTAKE I MADE IN THE DRIVE-THRU---BUT THEY DIDN'T DO IT TODAY. I KNOW THE MANAGERS ARE NOT HAPPY WITH ME BUT THEY LEFT ME ALONE. ITS LIKE THEY THINK I'M JUST PITCHING A TEMPER TANTRUM AND DON'T WON'T TO WORK DRIVE THRU NOT BECAUSE I'M SICK BUT JUST BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT. I AM DOING MUCH BETTER SINCE STARTING HERCEPTIN BUT I STILL TIRE EASILY AND FEEL THE HECTIC, FAST-PACED ATMOSHPHERE IN DRIVE-THRU IS JUST TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW. THE THING THAT REALLY WORRIES ME IS THE FACT I HAVE NO MORE LEAVE AND CAN'T QUALIFY FOR FMLA LEAVE AGAIN UNTIL OCTOBER. I REALLY NEVER REALIZED ONCE ALL THAT LEAVE & SHORT-TERM DISABILITY IS EXAUSTED YOUR JOB IS HISTORY. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IF YOU HAD LONG-TERM DISABILITY THAT WOULD KEEP YOUR JOB AVAILABLE---BUT I'M SURE LEARNING A FEW THINGS. I HOPE THIS MESS BLOWS OVER AT WORK. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD EMPLOYEE AND I AM SO SHOCKED AT HOW MANAGEMENT IS READY FOR YOU TO QUIT AND THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO HEAR IT. ITS LIKE THEY WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR ME AND KICK ME TO THE CURB. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I PROBABLY WON'T QUALIFY FOR FMLA AGAIN BECAUSE I'M ONLY WORKING 25 HOURS A WEEK NOW. I THINK YOU HAVE TO WORK A CERTAIN NUMBER OF HOURS A YEAR TO QUALIFY (1250) DON'T THINK I'LL HAVE ENOUGH HOURS. WELL I'M NOT PLANNING ON HAVING COMPLICATIONS. THINGS ARE GOING GOOD BUT THE WORRY IS IN THE BACK OF MY MIND. THANKS FOR LISTENING. I LOVE THIS SITE. SHEILA
