update, long over due
Hello folks,
Just wanted to update everyone on what's been going in my life for the last few weeks. The new job is going well, but it's been very stressful and taking up a lot of my spare time, of which there is very little. I have an hour commute both ways everyday, and driving in heavy traffic always makes me a nervous wreck. The new job is over on Falls of the Neuse, not far from the Joanne's Fabrics. Prior to starting the new job on April 16th, I had been fighting pneumonia for almost a month, and laryngitis for about a week. So the first day of my new job, I was almost completely unable to speak, and stayed that way for the first two weeks of employment.
Then, on April 27, just when I was starting to feel comfortable and happy and enjoying the ride - BAM! I was in a wreck on Falls of the Neuse, about 6 blocks from work. What a nightmare that has turned out to be. The woman who hit me spoke no English, had no license, no green card and it was not her car. Sigh. Thankfully, the boyfriend, whose car it was, did have insurance. So, we've been going round and round with their insurance company to get the truck fixed. Nationwide has been fantastic, despite the fact that they can't ever get the people who hit me on the phone. The one time they did get the vehicle owner on the phone, he lied the whole time about what happened. Considering he wasn't there when the accident happened ..... well, anyway, Monday night, Nationwide called and said they would be paying for the repairs and told me where to go to get an estimate. OUCH !!! 1800$ including a new tire. I can't drive the truck right now because the damage assessment indicated the front left tire was split down to the radial (the metal mesh stuff inside the tire) and it could blow at anytime.
Needless to say, I've been very stressed out, anxious and depressed. I"m not even sure I can do this job, its a lot to learn in a very short period of time and I feel like I"m in limbo, not knowing whether I'm coming or going. I"m not sleeping well at all, so my dr put me back on Ambien and my hypothyroidism is getting worse, not better, which doesn't help either. I just feel like I want to scream sometimes......
I thought once I started working again, things would get better, but it doesn't feel that way right now ...... I'm exhausted, depressed and angry about a lot of things that I don't want to go into right now ...... Somethings, even your friends don't need to hear ....
