still here
I can’t think of anything to say, lately. I feel okay. My eyes won’t stop watering. I took bendryl and they stopped itching, but kept watering. I guess this happened last chemo about this time too. It makes my face raw and red around my eyes.
I’ve been reading a lot of fiction and obsessively surfing blogs.
Next chemo is Monday, since Friday is a holiday. This means I get an extra, three day weekend, to feel okay. I’m planning to make the most of it. There are a couple of parties. I don’t like parties usually but I think these might be exceptions due to the people involved…
Work is boring. I’m starting to get caught up.
Today one of the customers complained about something I neglected to proactively take care of in April. I bit my tongue (fingers? it’s email) and didn’t tell him why I might have been a bit DISTRACTED. Sigh.
I’m now officially as dumb as my boss always thought I was.
I could kick your ass for that last line!
Come on, girl, this was ripe for a great comeback response. Maybe something like, “I’m guessing it was the huge lump on my breast that got me sidetracked” or “That friggin’ cancer diagnosis threw me off a little” or “I could not apologize any more strenuously for allowing my health to interfere with my ability to serve you, sir.”
Can I have his e-mail address?
Oh my goodness. The self-esteem patrol is on my ass
Well the customer does not know I have any medical problem. All he knows is every damn year something stops working and no one anticipates it, not him, not us. So of course we need to fix this, not him. Even though he waited all of 5 hours to get it fixed this time.
But this year I have an excuse. But for the whole time I’ve been working there I’ve bitched about how people use excuses for ongoing laziness. So. I said nothing. And I realized this puts my boss in an uncomfortable position of having to NOT BLAME ME or look like a total ass, even to himself.
So on the whole, I’d say, WIN
A late note: I had eye watering problems again this summer, so think I just have a seasonal allergy!
