start getting some trigger point injections again. To do this I would need a series of evenings off from part-time job. Since we are a skeleton crew, no one really wants to work nights including my boss. I recently had an endoscope done and took the day off. Told my boss that I am sensitive to meds and that I may need two days off. The doc gave me demoral and "twilight" for the scope and could have used that second day off but she made it very clear that "....I AM NOT working two twelve hour days in a row!" I have a coworker who overlaps my shift by an hour daily. She was granted all sorts of time off to campaign for her boyfriend and an hour every Friday to watch her sons football games. I don't understand why someone would have to take off work at 4:40 pm to reach a game that starts at 7:00 pm. Even away games were driven to in 30 to 40 minutes. I had asked her for a day off for a barrium swallow and she would not give it to me. I put in for day off for scope and she is asking the days girls why I want this off. What the heck is going on here? Help!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Peace and hugs to you, and my prayers for you!

Hang in there, honey!
So get yourself a medical order to prove what you're saying and don't take 'no' for an answer! :)
Good luck hon. Hope this gets resolved soon.
My hubby works 18-20 hour days 6 days a week. This p's me off! I think your boss is just lazy! Makes me damn mad!
Everyone is right. HR is the way to go, and journal everything single situation, convo, even what is happened with the co-worker that got off for "games". Everything!!!!!! It WILL mean more to HR. HR is amazing at kicking butts into line. They don't tolerate anything!
