Believe It Or Not
Believe it or not, My medical Doctor told me to write in a journal to help alleviate stress. To those that do not know I have a boss that has created the maximum amount of stress possible for my job. She delegates everything to me or someone else. even simple things like, I will get a sheet of paper with a note on it saying " put this in a plastic sheet protector", or punch 3 holes in this. She has a hole punch, and sheet protectors. She does not know how to book an appointment on her calendar ( I have shown her at least 100 times). I do not understand how someone with as many degrees as she has can be that dense. In the time she has been my boss I have developed High blood pressure due to stress, my co-workers that are also direct reports are also suffering everything from High blood pressure, to chest pain (and having to wear halter monitors) to ulcers and other ailments.
I know that it has gotten bad when I went on vacations and still could not relax because I knew that I would have to deal with her when I got back. And that is a shame, because I went on some wonderful trips. I went to Ireland, Paris and the Outer Banks so far this year. I have also gotten a number of fish, which as odd as this sounds do help. I sit there and watch the fish and for a while things seem calmer.
