It's Official...

Fall is upon us. Time to put the shorts away for another year, and break out the sweaters, jeans and light jackets. The ankle biters are back in class, the amusement parks are getting ready to close down and I am ready to freak out!

I've finally hit the point where I hate my job :( I'm so unhappy right now, and it's affecting all aspects of my life and that's not cool. I'm ready to quit and just walk out the door and not come back, if it wasn't for the good health plan I have I would have done it already. :( I have begun looking for another job, and hopefully with some luck I'll have something else soon. I don't think my employers realize just how unhappy most of their changes, that were "for the better", have made people, myself included.

You know it's bad that when I don't want to get up in the morning and go to work. I'm not afraid of work. However, this job is starting to get to me, and I've reached a point where going to work is more painful than the prospect of having no job at all. Not good at all!

What changes could the company I work for make that would make me so unhappy? Well, that's a long story better not discussed on my public plug, but needless to say the changes pretty much keep me in my current position for a very long time, hence the unhappiness. Anyway hopefully in the very near future, I'll escape to another company, where I won't have to deal with the garbage I currently do.

Is It Friday Yet?

Is this week ever going to end? Seriously, Friday can not come fast enough for me. I've got today and tomorrow to get through work and then my weekend is upon me. I just want to sleep! Since the doctors adjusted my medication for my ulcer, my tummy is feeling better, but I'm sleeping less. Not Fair!

I'm hoping this will improve soon, because I can't continue like this, always tired, cranky and feeling stressed. A day at work is so much easier to deal with when you've had a good nights sleep. The cranky factor is greatly reduced and is less of a complication. If I was well rested and felt bright eyed and bushy tailed, work would not stress me out in the least. However, when you're tired, cranky and don't even want to get out of bed to go to work in the first place, well, that changes things a bit.

Anyway, I guess I should go and find some cheese to go with this whine...

Road To Recovery

Well, after a few visits to the doctor and several adjustments in medication, I suppose I'm on the mend. So hopefully, in the near future the ulcer I have now will be a distant memory and I can get back to living and eating normally, which would be great because soup and crackers are getting old fast.

Not much to report right now in all honesty. Just been trying to get better, and somehow, someway get some sort of vacation, because I really think I need it. A nice break from work would be both welcome and appreciated, and in all honesty I think I've kind of earned it.

Anyway, enough belly achin' *LOL* no pun intended...

Things That Make You Go......Ugh

For the past few weeks I haven't been feeling all that great. A lot of nausea and it's been hard to keep much down. I just thought I had a bit of a stomach bug. However after a couple of weeks of not feeling so good, and it actually getting progressively worse, I figure it was time to go see a doctor.

So after seeing a doctor and a few tests later, it has been determined that I have...(drum roll please).... an Ulcer. Which is not really a surprise all things considered. I drink a lot of caffeine based liquids such as coffee, energy drinks, Pepsi etc. As well, I work a job that can be rather stressful at times and my personal life can get stressful as well. So you ball all that up, and presto! Ulcer.

If you've never had an ulcer, trust me, you don't want one. It's rather painful, restricts what you can and cannot eat or drink, and you tend to vomit stomach acid a lot. Lots of fun indeed. So with that said, I'm on meds and a strict diet for the next month and then we'll see where we're at.
