Dr. Visit & Corprate Greed

The doctor visit today was fine, took all of six minutes once I got out of the waiting room.  The nurse took me in, took my blood pressure, asked me some questions, then the doctor came in. Both he and the nurse were suprised that I was all ready back to work, and that I went to the gym yesterday. Then he just looked at all the holes they put in me and said everything looked fine, and that was it. I didn’t have time to ask him when it would be all right for me to go back to kickboxing, he probably would have said, "when ever you feel up to it" so I’ll just go by my rule, when I can make it through a couple of days without needing any tylenol, I’ll go. Well, and I’ll make sure I can do a full effort workout on the treadmill, if I’m ok after that, it’s back to kickboxing!

My day was all right. They’re cutting back everyone’s hours at work, wich sucks, we’re making more money at our new location, but corprate greed is taking over and we’re all getting screwed. As annoyed as I am by that, I still like my job enough, and at least I’m getting paid decently now. Though I really want to tell them if that’s all the hours I’m getting now, maybe that should be all the hours I’m avaliable durring Christmas… I mean I busted my ass getting things done for Chirstmas, I worked 9 hours of over time, did 11 hour days and didn’t even get a lunch break a couple of times, and now they want to screw me over? I know I could get a better paying job, but I think I’d end up miserable with it. ~sigh~ Such is life. I’ll just take some satisfaction in knowing that some day, when I am able to quit that job, they aren’t getting any notice, and they are going to be so screwed. No one else back there really cares, and actually, I know at least one other person would quit if I wasn’t there to run the show, maybe two… And if they tried calling back the guy they laid off after Christmas? He said before when I was talking about getting another job that he’d quit if I did. You know, most of all, it just kills me becuase I used to LOVE my job, even when I was still getting minimum wage, I loved my job.  And now I like it just enough to not feel too tempted to leave.  I really hate that.
