Book Chat

Welcome to Book Chat!

Instead of being about a particular book, author or genre this group is about books and reading in general. Discussions have covered a wide variety of topics, from bookmarks, to book type preference (paperback, hardcover or trade paperback) to book-to-movie tie-ins, to where and when you read and even what started...more »

    I may not have as much to do this except on my days off. I got my yearly apprasal at work and I failed. It was all the past two months-the two months that i've been having mental illness problems? I told my boss i refused to sign it, got up took it to her boss and told them I'm using the ada act. Something I swore I'd never do. But, I'm working up at head quarters with debby and then Debby said the apprasial won't stick. And, she said she would extend my shift for the afternoon soon.

    Hnag in there, Tenia. It isn't always easy, but you are really standing up for yourself and others when you do that. Don't worry about using the ADA - that's what it was designed for - to protect people and their jobs when illness happens.

    I just prayed the angels up around you Tenia. This is a really stressful time for you and I know that won't help your illness. I hope you can surround yourself with people who care for you during all this. You have lots of admirers here, so please stay in touch with us.

      I had a meeting with all 3 of my supervisors yesterday. I vented.....tried not to cry. I was put to my one to 9 shift (YES) so I won't be around that many people (work wise) I do well working alone-I helped at headquarters for two days and they saw that if you showed me what to do, left me alone I can function. I tried to make them understand my brain doesn't have an off switch. I can't turn off having a bad day at home or work. It's not seperate. And I hold things in. I HATE HATE HATE HATE confrontations. And people yelling at me (Not telling me things YELLING) does not help. So I brought up things from two years ago and my boss was like two years ago and I said you're lucky mike gets stuff from 15 years ago.

    Look, I had the same thing happen @ 50. I was depressed, homicidal & suicidal...and it was getting worse. I was suspended for 1 week. So I told a friend of mine...she Laughed and said "Welcome to menopause". So I got some of the natural hormones and you know what? Within a week I was on the road to betterness.....

    So you might want to monitor what you are putting into your body......alternative therapies work wonders.......and I'll send you some energy!
