Still bored in In the Kingdom of Suzu

Still bored, but I will be going back to work on Monday But am stressing about it.

Had the face thing this past Monday and the dr scheduled the follow up for Tuesday afternoon. Figured I could just leave early. Dr called this p.m. to say they had to reschedule, could I come Monday p.m. I knew that would not work cuz of being off and you can’t leave early the first day you come back after being out on sick time, so I asked how early they could see me. They said 7:45 so I said yes thinking I could probably just come in late and possibly extend the sick time by an hour or so. Called HR and they said it would be ok but it would have to be cleared with my direct office. Call my office, my direct super is ok with it but when I talk to the head super she gave me a hard time but said since HR said it was ok, would have to go along with it. I offered to change the appointment for another day on the week but she said no to keep it as is. Then, she wanted to know what my restrictions were on coming back and for how long! Hello? Last I knew,my direct super had told me that the supers had discussed me coming back and we’re going to have me sit at another desk temporarily just so it would be easier for me to go to the ladies room and that desk had more leg room! Everyone kept telling me I should have taken the original 6 weeks that the dr originally wanted,me to take but I did not want to short-change the office. I am trying not to stress.

The super that gave me the hard time is the one that you never know what mood she is in but had seemed to be better. They are probably mad because I have been out so much but from the beginning I told them of the knee and cancer situations coming up at the same time. I had cancelled one vacation because of the cancer, but the other vacation I could not cancel.

It is at a time like this that I think of just retiring. I really am not ready to, I just bought a new car!, but I also really like my job, but with this stuff happening it makes me rethink things. The earliest I would be retiring would have been September of next year but I wasn’t going to, was probably going to go sept of 2017, but this just makes me want to leave now.

Sorry this got so long winded, but it helps to get it off my chest.

(They don’t even know about the week I will be taking in the fall for the other reconstruction phase)!
