If I didn't have a lot of perservence I would start to take these experiences personally. I was fired today because of my attendance - I have missed work because of Maggie being sick, myself being sick (far less than for Maggie.)
Yeah - I really take the cake. I often wonder what makes me so lucky (insert sarcasm). They knew why she was sick, it is a women owned company, but they didn't care. I did everything in my power to try not to miss work - I had my mom take Maggie to as many appointments as I could, gave them advanced notice of appointments to specialist when I had to take her. But it all came down to Maggie throwing up at daycare on Monday - them calling me and me having to leave work to go get her because my Mom was out of town.
I really do not know what to do. Luckily I just went back on my anti-depressants so I am sure that has helped with my response, and I had already taken a Xanax today so I was pretty relaxed.
Someone tell me that it will get better - tell me that this crap on Anne parade will end soon. :(
One of the things that ticks me off is that they had my checks drawn up on Tuesday but didn't give them to me until today. They knew all week what was going on. I wished they had fired me on any day but today. Today was Maggie' Easter Egg hunt at school and I didn't go, I didn't ask for time off, I didn't ask to take an early lunch, I sent my dad and sister in law.
I realize they are running a business and need to make money. I wish that they had seen that I was making effort and arrangements. Did I love this job, no. But it was a decent job.
I will be okay - I have a lot of great things in my life:
1. Maggie
2. Sam
3 My family
4. My friends
5. My education
