Returned to Work
Monday was my first day back and it turned out okay. Actually better than okay. Everyone was happy I was back, I had my annual review, found out some changes already implemented. Some mistakes made while I was away.
Everyone asked me about the trip, they all asked if I did gambling. I did tell them about the CT LImo debacle. Some said they never had that happen to them or heard of them doing that. Well glad it didn’t happen to you but it did happen and I am still not happy.
The personal printers have been removed from the desks. So i have to get my system set up so I can use the copier/printer in the work space behind my cubicle. The printer was finally set up after lunch Wednesday. The Printer that was on my desk is now in the scanning room and that room looks totally different.
Late Monday afternoon I received my annual review results and they were very positive. Supervisor B is hoping I will be able to help out with the refund checks. Collating , data entering, and mailing out. Right now its scanning that’s taking up a lot of time.
Many of the Admin staff have been clearing out their offices in preparation for the move later this year. I have been told this will be going on for the foreseeable future. I imagine that very soon we will be asked to do it as well. Our new spaces at the new location will be very limited. We will find out more at the Med Town halls in May (I will be going on May 13). I don’t believe I have a lot to take home except old papers and probably a few dishes that I use here. I am thinking I will have to make a list of what I will be bringing over there but not right now.
DG worked very hard on trying to make sure things were done but apparently stuff still came back and mistakes were made. We went over them over the last couple of days. I am going to be doing the mail while she goes on her cruise for two weeks starting sometime next week or so.
The area committee meeting was held on Tuesday. Several people had issues with an event that was held while I was away. Unfortunately the lead steward was out sick yesterday and there seems to be a lack of confidence in her abilities right now. I do not look forward to the next committee meeting (they vented but she wasn’t there).
We have a few more activities coming up in the next month as well. March for Local 33 to present The Uni President with a request for a fair and open election for a union.. Let’s hope it works this time.
I have to tell you where the biopsy was taken last week is getting irritated and red and hurts when I lean on it or sit down. It is in such an awkward spot that I can not see it to put the band-aid on it.
I was able to pick up at least some of the prescriptions from the pharmacy but there is still some I am waiting on. I hope it's been resolved.
I saw the Hemotologist on Monday and he is quite pleased with everything. Numbers all good. No evidence of a blood clot. My next appointment will be in October. I had to fill out updated information form and just faxed that today as well.
My FMLA papers have been signed and faxed and mailed to me. So now I can plan ahead for the upcoming appointments. I don’t think Monday’s appoint will or can count. But I need to remember to fill out tomorrow.
I have to admit I didn’t go to exercise class on Sunday nor did I walk Sunday. I also bailed on Monday’s class but actually made to my Session with A and this morning with Sara. I just have to schedule tomorrow’s as well. Maybe Friday morning as well. I need to check my appointments and see if I need to reschedule for Alex. He is being accommodating about it.
I do have to update my food logging for the entire week before Saturday. I have sort of been on food bender for the last couple of days. A Few cookies, had some easter choc cakes, and a little pasta.
I didn’t go to the Ladies Guild on Tuesday either. I was supposed to bring something for refreshments but I didn’t and I have to get something for this weekend as well. I may have to do my no bake cannoli cheesecake
Its Coffee Talk night. G has to be somewhere else so she won’t be there but there will be others so I may have to step up and be hosts. I definitely have a Coffee Talk next week but the following week is the Info session for JS’s.
My other new meetup “Walking with Friends is having a walk also at 6 but its up in Manchester at Porter Reservoir. That may be a little too far for a weeknight. I am going to their walk on Sunday at 11 (right after i do my stint for the bake sale). Actually it looks like they have a lot of after work walks.
JS is having a walk around Milford at Point beach tonight as well as a meeting I think. There is another info session on the 24th. I definitely will go to that one.
The Out of shape hiking group has been quiet again even though they had a spurt earlier this week. I can’t remember if they have anything planned.
The other group Women Outdoor group has a leadership and hike event in May. There was some question as to whether or not I should be going to that one or not. I believe Bonnie relented and accepted me to that one. Its part of a larger group and still waiting on location of training.
With all that’s going on there I need to remember I have things to do at home. I have managed to leave a bit of trail around. I still have laundry to wash, dry and fold again. I have dishes to be done in every manner. I still have to my taxes. I am beginning to get overwhelmed again and anxious and no matter how much i work on the “to do” list I don’t get enough done.
I need to go get gas before I go to the meetup tonight.
Oh the final entries of my trip will be added tomorrow...
