Frustrating Stories

  • Oh, how I miss you guys.

    Tuesday, June 17, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Hey everyone -
    It's been a while since I posted, and I apologize for that. I have tried so hard to make the time, and then just as I'm gearing up to write, I get pulled away.  Work at DS has been absolutely crazy in the last few months, and I don't have a second from the minute I wake up until midnight to even talk to the folks that make DS such a special place.
    Anyway, here's...

    I can just hear Gloria Estefan singing the song....can't you?
    Yesterday, I had a moment!  I have quickstep laminate floor with the grooves in it.  We have had it for 3 years or so.  It is all the way around in all the walk way areas, bathroom and kitchen.  Well, I have been struggling with cleaning this floor since it was put in.  I am the type that notices streaks, or...

  • GI New

    Thursday, October 2, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    We went to the GI yesterday and he feels that my blood work does not show any reason for my pain or exhaustion.  Even though there are elevations in my liver enzymes and viral load, he feels that my problem is not due to Hep C. That was a shock. There were other blood work elevations that bothered him more. He has ordered am ultra sound for this week, hopefully, and then after the results co...

    Wednesday, April 8, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    It's a month and one week into tx for me and I put off searching for jobs to see how I would feel.  I've finally started applying for part-time positions to at least gain experience. I have only gotten one call back to a position which turned out to be bullshit, but other than that nothing.  Although I have been frustrated about the job search at this point I am not sure I could...
