still lying around

and it’s Sunday evening now :)

Is this the life or what?  Mind you I did manage to clean my bathroom and dump the trash in anticipation of Co-Dependent coming over with pup.  But she called me to tell me she’s gonna have something to eat and go to bed - she’s pretty upset that our personnel department has deemed her accident that she is now on workman’s comp for as ‘unethical’.  They are blaming her for the maintenance of her car, the lack of a current registration and are now planning to suspend her for 15 days.

Can you believe that?

She was nearly killed in that accident and instead of honoring the fact that she’s still alive and working on the phone lines - they are blaming her for the whole thing.

It’s quite insane and her father who is a workman’s comp attorney is recommending one of his colleagues to take her case.  I have no doubt this is gonna end in the County getting sued and quite honestly we can’t afford it.

I guess Personnel doesn’t feel they have anything to lose by it but don’t realize that not all employees will roll over in this economy.  I’m glad she’s fighting it - their behavior is fucking unethical.

So at least the thought of her coming over was enough to get me off the couch and onto cleaning so I won out on that one.

I’ve got a laundry list of things to do on my furlough day - not to mention 3 workman comp visits.  Honestly all they do is just give you accupuncture, physical therapy and prescribe me hot backs for my neck and back.  I am not on modified duty because I’ll lose my job because it requires me to drive long distances to see clients so I can’t afford it.  It’s Kaiser so that HMO shit is down pat and believe me when I tell you that it’s the most minimal of care.  I’ve got no doubt that the doctor will be rather frustrated at my ‘lack of progress’ - but guess what - that’s his problem.  I’m not gonna say I’m not in pain when I truly am still hurting as a result of that accident.

I don’t see how people get over on Workman’s Comp because I still do more than my share of work and I’m the only one in pain.  It’s fucking ridiculous how long I’m taking to heal up.  Sometimes it’s so bad that I literally can’t move around very much and that’s completely uncalled for….

Tomorrow I’m going to the AAA office to renew the registration, gonna go to the mall and get the I-Phone as well as try Aveda’s other brand of shampoo ‘Be Curly’ to see if it works.  Then the whole afternoon is spent at the doctor’s office on physical therapy, accupuncuture and seeing the MD for a whole 5 minutes.

I guess that’s about it.  I watched WATCHMEN today.  Interesting.  I guess I’ll vacuum before I hit the bed at around 9:30pm.

Surprisingly enough I did not eat very much today which is fantastic.

Crap, I can’t find the business card the OWL gave me for the psychiatrist.  Guess I’ll have to ask her again when I see her the week after this upcoming one.

Good Grief.
