What to Do? Posted: 07-16-04 08:52am
K well like I said my doc gave me a note
to stop working cuz of the blood pressure
and all and that was on tues and ive still
gone to work but im irritated (what else
is new) but should I continue since I only
have a lil time left or what? Im due
8-24 I am scared to stop for financial
reasons but ill survive. Its 950 and I
have to be to work at noon and dread it.
I like my job its ok I guess but I dont
get to sit down for caca! They had me
workin my tail off lifting 18 gallon bins
n crap with another girl while my boss
the princess sells stuff on ebay and the
other girl stands at the register doing
crossword puzzles waiting to ring up
customers you'd think they'd
have me do that but nooooo. I feel like
im over doing it and I am physically
exausted all I wanna do is sit around or
sleep I even hate getting in the shower
lol. Well I dunno im thinkin of makin
today my last day what do u think?
Sorry so long but once I get started I
dont stop lol ~ erica.

With you doing all that lifting it really
aint good for you so I think if you can
then yeah let this be your last day.But
isnt it by law when you are pregnant then
they have to give you lite duty?You have
to do alot of lifting at my job but when I
told them I e=was pregnant they gave me
lite duty and I didnt ask for it.

Well they're understandable. They aint
too hard on me and all but they dont act
like im pregnant lol it's like they expect
me to do everything. If I dont say hey
this is too heavy for me to lift or I cant
do this then they'll do it but i'd rather
have them be like hey I dont want you
lifting that ya know? Cuz then with me
always saying I cant this, I cant that it
makes me look incompident and I hate
that. I feel like a big whiner when im
there. Grrr its 1120 and I have to get
dressed and go omg I dont want to !!!
Thanks for the reply though. ~ erica.
Girl you need to take it easy and don't be
lifting heavy things even if it's not as
heavy but you always have to listen to
your body that's so important.
If you have to tell you can't lift this
or that it's not your fault, you're
looking out for yourself.

Dont lift anything heavy please! Its not
good for you. I know my boss doesnt like
me lifting anything at all. Like when we
get new boxes and stuff for new
associations and they are like 10 pounds,
hes like I got it, dont lift anything.
Thats because its looking at a workers
comp case if your back goes out. Have you
done your paperwork for maternity leave?
So you can get paid? You should fill that
out so you can have some money coming back
to you.
you'd think they'd
have me do that but nooooo. I feel like
im over doing it and I am physically
exausted all I wanna do is sit around or
sleep I even hate getting in the shower
lol. Well I dunno im thinkin of makin
today my last day what do u think?
