Neck Update
Neck feels better but now the pain has coalesced into my old injury in the shoulder.
Meaning that I can't move my left arm about very much. My boss didn't sound impressed when i rang in and told her - but there's nothing I can do it about it. Literally nothing. I can just take the strongest painkillers we have about and rest it in the hope that it'll come right.
Of course - I'm convinced she misheard me when I rang in. I had agreed, yesterday, to work the afternoon shift tomorrow. I tried to tell her today that I think I'm going to have to take it day by day at the moment until things are better. I said we'll see about tomorrow. And she repeated back to me something which sounded, at the time, like "You'll ring me in the morning tomorrow" but on reflection could well have been "You'll be in tomorrow". Her accent (strong Scots) can be a little impenatrable over the phone.
I do hate, though, that she makes me feel so bad about this. As if I've deliberately got myself injured so I don't have to work. I may be in something of a funk abour work at the moment but I would never put myself in this kind of pain just so I didn't have to go.
I hate being made to feel guilty for being unwell or in pain. It makes everything worse.
And I'm fucking tired of her not realisng that you cannot run an entire bingo hall, 7 days a week, with only five full-time members of staff that all need to have two days off a week. And need to have their holidays.
As much as I like her - she can be an awful manager at times.
