Never rains but it pours.
Wonderful.
I've been fired from my job under "gross misconduct" because I walked out on Saturday night due to harassment be the Nurse on duty and the fact I was having a serious panic attack.
*laughs* I called Jan just now. She said I should have called her that night, that if I'd had the presence of mind to call a taxi to get home I should have called her. Obviously she's never had a panic attack or seen someone having one. I had one thought in my head, and that was to go home. I was SOBBING in the taxi, I even had a hard time getting into the office and picking up the phone to call the damn taxi.
Ya see, hindsight is a wonderful thing, and if I could go back and do it differently I WOULD have called Jan, and I would have holed myself up in the staff room or the toilet and waited for her to come to the home so we could have it out... then she could have taken me to hospital because by that time I would have passed out because I was hyperventilating that much. Joy.
So the rub is, she didn't want to talk about the Nurses misconduct, only my own. She said that I could put my perspective and feelings down on paper and send it to her... But if it's not going to get me my job back then fuck her. My parents are talking about getting a solicitor. My dad is demanding I join a Union so this shit doesn't happen again. (sometimes I am CONVINCED I have the words "VICTIM" written on my forehead... because it always seems to happen to me.
Either way, I have a job interview tomorrow and I have another place sending me an application form for me to fill in...
... I'm also curious. I applied to two other homes, and haven't had a call back. Is it polite to call them to enquire as to WHY they haven't called me back? I mean, I always thought it was nice to inform someone if they have or haven't got the job, either by phone or letter. I just need to know really, so I can scrub them off on the likely candidates for a job.
