RA sucks/Apology/Work stuff | Arthritis Information

1. Angel quit at work so I will be pulling some massive shifts, I'm already exhausted from the past 2 days. 106 checkins, 95 checkins - basically alone. My manager is like a child, can't do sh*t alone. *sigh* So there's that.

2. Something wrong with the left arm. I was in tears last night. Took 3 tremadol just to sleep, and that didn't even take all the pain away. Woke up and it's back to nightmareish pain. Taking pills and trying a Soma to see if it's coming from my neck. But my neck is fine, pain wise.

3. I wanted to sit and read posts and help and respond, but between work and my arm I just can't right now. I'm sorry.

Luv u lots!!
How is it that you have a manager that can't seem to manage?  Are you his boss or is he your's?  Either way, sorry to hear you're arm's so messed up, hope it's a slow day for ya.Sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Why does it always seem that when you feel your worst your work load is at an all time high as well? Maybe you should tell your boss you are not feeling well and need help.Don't take more than 2 tramadol at once - it can cause seizures when you take more than 2 tablets at a time.  The risk of this is enhanced with Flexeril. That's just wrong.  You shouldn't have to bear the brunt of the workload.  That's exactly when the manager is supposed to step in....to fill the gaps when people leave.  It's not your responsibilty to do the manager's job, unless, of course, they want to pay you a manger's salary.  Now might be a good time to ask for an increase.  It won't stop your pain but may make things seem a little better overall.  If that's not feasible, maybe you need to call in sick so you can heal and let the manager see how valuable you are and be reminded why he/she needs to keep you happy in your job.  I hope you feel better soon. Sorry that things are so cruddy right now. I hate it when co-workers don't carry their load.
If your arm is still bothering you, you might want to call your dr. tomorrow. You know how it is with pain. The quicker we can get ahead of it, the better.

Can you call in sick? I know that you don't want to put anybody else in a bad situation, but you won't be worth much unless you can take the time to recoup. But, speaking as somebody without paid sick days, I understand the dragging of ones self to work.Katie.............try not to risk your health to cover for work.  Easier said than done, but you know how it is once you get in major pain, hard to get out.I need the email address of the District Manager or even better, corporate. When I stayed at your hotel there was the bumbling idiot manager who did not have their sh*t together. Thank goodness there was a wonderful employee named Katie who was able to straighten things out.
