I Am Stressed Out and Hopeless
For a while now, even when I seem to get plenty of sleep... I feel sluggish and irritable. I have no energy... I can't stand the slightest noise and get angry at the slightest inconvenience. I drank a 5 hour energy shot... and 10 minutes later I fell asleep and slept for 5 hours.
Corporate told my boss to let me go, that I was costing them too much money and was working too much overtime. He refused. Then they told him to use me in some other position @ 40hrs per week at a lower pay rate. He refused.
Today when I returned to work to begin my week, I couldn't find my boss anywhere....
He was fired. Gee, I wonder who's next???
Last Friday I was rushed to the emergency room by a coworker. I was dizzy and had a terrible pain in my chest that went all the way through to my back...I was nauseous and was having intermittent pain down my arm and in my jaw. My blood pressure was 235/ 135...
Three hours later I was back at work with a bottle of blood pressure medication ...after being told I did not have a heart attack and that my blood work was good.... liver and kidney function were normal... but should make an appointment with a cardiologist for a stress test anyway.
Stress test...if my life is not one big stress test, I don't know what is....
Update....11/24/09
Today I met with the new management, and they have evaluated my performance over the last year and have decided to keep me....they have found not one thing they will not back me up on, and have told corporate that they intend to keep me as I am a valuable asset to the company...
They have also increased my expense account, and have given me more freedom in the interpretation of my capacities....
