@Layla, Thanks for sending a reply and for your concern. I'd love to find a new job that better fits my threshold for stress. I realized this in 2015 and searched and interviewed for 28 months with no job offers. Another candidate was always a better fit for one reason or another. I've been doing this type of work since 1997, I have a specialization for what I do which hasn't given me the opportunity to learn other skills.
I decided I needed to focus on advancing where I was and received my promotion in April of this year ( Although it was promised for January, I had to wait due to delays in the approval process and annual raises tying up the payroll system (a bunch of red tape). I waited 12_years for this promotion and my boss actually fought for this advancement on my behalf. She isn't an evil witch all the time. She has her moments like yesterday.
My daughter only has 2 years of high school left then maybe 4 years of college. We plan to move out of PA when she is done school and I'll look for a new job then, hopefully something part time and downsize so our expenses are lower. It's a 6 year plan that I need to stick with unless my husband's job prospects improve. A full time job with a salary for a man with 2_masters degrees deserves would be a game changer.
Today I cancelled my 1 on 1 meeting with my boss, as I wasn't emotionally ready to meet with her alone and listen to any feedback or criticism. It's been rescheduled for next Tuesday. Hopefully I'll be in a better place emotionally by then.
I had a Tele-med visit with the psychiatrist this afternoon. He ordered an increased dose of the Zoloft to help with my anxiety & depression.
It was another busy day at the office but I did give myself some breaks between tasks. I have a list of things to do by end of day on Monday, so will likely need to work over the weekend to meet the deadlines.
My FMLA time hasn't been calculated accurately. The system counted 4 hours taken everyday since 8/23/18. This is why my boss thought I had run out of time as of today. I called this evening to get it fixed.
I have the appointment with the GYN tomorrow morning to discuss my fibroids. Hoping to find a good solution. Also need her help to stay on Short term disability until 10/31. The details needed from my general doctor were not approved by my disability insurance co. I got a call from the claims mgr. about this today. I gave her my GYN # to get in touch with her about my recent issues.
Problems seem to be never ending.
