Aggravations and Injury

Aug 01, 2008 08:57

This week is really turning into a week that I would just like to forget. Maybe if it was possible to just rewind the past week and start all over. Wednesday I thought I worked 3-11 but I ended up remembering that I worked 7-3 instead. So I was late. That day was just hell in a hand bag. Basically it boils down to when people don't do their jobs the night before it makes it insanely hard to do my own. Just a frustrating day all around.

Yesterday started out fine I went to early to make up for my half an hour I missed the day before. All was well and good I took some of our individuals shopping and such at walmart and to the bank. At walmart I happened to look down and notice that I had a billion missed calls on my cell phone. Some from Wes and some from Wes' mom. I gave him a call asap only to find out that Wes had hit his head at work off a deck while he was working. He knocked himself out cold for at least 3 minutes. He had no memory of the accident just before and after. I am panicking and call my boss. My boss is absolutely amazing by the way. She told me to come back asap and she would figure things out as far as coverage went. She ended up working 7am-11pm. She is just amazing I owe her so much. So I call Wes again and tell him I'm on my way. He has slurred speech and seems really out of it. Then I find out that his boss did not send anyone to come get him! He had been sitting in his customers yard for 2 hours and his boss didn't think to send anyone. URGHHHGHGHG.

Finally friends of his from work come out to pick up him and his truck, since obviously it would not be safe for him to drive. I meet him at the branch and take him to the ER. His boss told him before he left that he should wait to see a doctor until tomorrow when concentra opens...WHAT THE FUCK. ITS A FUCKING HEAD INJURY. CHRIST ON A CRUTCH.

So we spent the evening in the ER at Hershey Med. Wes had a CAT scan and they determined he had a moderate concussion and should rest and be watched for at least 24 hours. No driving, etc. Wes called his work in the morning to let them know the ER's findings and that he would not be in work. He got a call back at 7:30 am stating that he was late and he needed to come into work... I took him in and now his fucking boss has him waiting there to take him to fucking concentra. Really I'm just speechless. Erin (his friend from work) thinks we should file a complaint with corporate. This is insane. I need to go back to sleep or something to calm the fuck down. I had to wake him up every two hours last night to make sure he was okay.

JUST BULLSHIT.
