;tbd; So I’ve been absent...
I’m not gonna say a lot but it’s enough to where I’m putting it under a read more. To sum it up: due to personal health reasons, I’m on an indefinite hiatus.
So, for two weeks now (since the 16th), I’ve been working in an area where I took a pay cut for work I’m unable to enjoy in a slightly toxic environment. I won’t go into detail but a number of the people are prone to being hostile and on the 20th I was informed that multiple people had filed complaints against me for body odor of all things. Mind you, I take a shower every day, I wash my hands frequently, I do laundry often. After asking my former supervisor if any similar complaints had been given where I was before, the HR rep was told there were none. Instead of investigating or asking other people, I was essentially told it’s my job to change my standard of hygiene which I know is ridiculous to a fair number of clean freaks. I’ve been less than happy about it and I’m not changing my ridiculous standards in order to accommodate people who shouldn’t be able to smell me at all unless they’re right up in my business and sniffing me.
I’ve also been working on day shift. I had thought I would be able to catch up on the RPs I owe and on RPing in general, but I’m so exhausted at the end of the day that I’m barely able to function without a nap. Add to that this sickness circling through my mom’s work place and I’ve been less than in top shape.
If I had to compare this to anything, I’m more stressed now than when I was ready to drop out of college. My hair’s falling out (like it did then), my teeth are getting even worse (more so than with college, my teeth are falling apart rapidly), I’m frequently dizzy, and I’m more on edge than I was when I was living in Vegas.
I’m so tense from this that I’m in more pain than I am when it’s freezing and my arthritis is acting up.
Hopefully, I can be back into the swing of things soon. Things are looking up! My check wasn’t abysmal, I have Good Friday off, and I might be going back to night shift. What with not being good at waking up in the AM, that’s really going to help my stress levels if it happens. I’ll probably be more active then. I understand if you don’t want to hang around though!
Later days!
