Doc's appointment and my trainee work...

[kseenaa]

So, I went to the Doctor the other day. What with my menstrual cramps fucking up like there was no tomorrow last time I had my period. :-P We talked a bit about what was different, and so on and so forth. Even had to lie in that oh so fun gynecology chair. It is cold and uncomfortable, but really... I doubt I could show her anything she hasn't seen already. Just saying. So after a checkup I got a referral to another gynecologist at the hospital where they have better equipment, just to make sure there really isn't anything what with the Endometriosis I have. And get me better pain-killers. I hope there isn't anything wrong. I so don't wanna go down that road. Again. :-P

Today has been a somewhat busy day. :-P I am still re-marking books all day (5th week now...). This time at the smaller library, the school-library. This work is fucking up with my back, let me tell you. :-P I am not in pain, per say, but I feel very tired in my back and a bit stiff, you know? It does help that I nowadays walk to and from work. Takes 30min. Good for me. :-) And, strangely, it helps ease up the stiffness in my back. Books are damn heavy! I have carried heavy loads off books in my arms these weeks. Last night when going to bed I noticed I even got a bruise on my lower arm from the heavy books! Ha ha ha! X-D Dangerous business being a librarian, ain't it? Two more days off work with them books, and then this is part of the system-change is done.

Talking off my trainee work, yesterday I finally got a hold off my contact at the employment office. So, he and another lady from that local government office, is going to have a meeting about me and then decide if I can stay there until 28th of February at the longest. They also have to call my boss to see if I am doing anything useful and if they have a need off me at the libraries I am at.

......

Just today my boss and her boss told me that they couldn't have done this system-change in any off the libraries I am at without me and they wished they could hire me full-time for good. :-D Sadly they can't though, since there is a recruitment freeze in all the libraries in this city. :-/ Oh well. It feels good to be appreciated in any rate. :-) And after my trainee work is over, I'll stay in touch with them. For no other reason that they are quite awesome. :-)

You be careful with those books. You could injure yourself. And I hope they let you stay till the end of Feb.

Oh, I hope so to. :-) And only two more days off caring books around. :-P I think I'll survive. When I don't have to do this each day, I think my back will be fine. I think it is just a little over-worked at the moment. ;-) And bruises from wicked books fade, right? ;-D

Hope things turn out okay with that second appointment! o/

Oh, I hope so to. It feels good to just have it checked up, you know? To be knocked out like that for four days without being able to walk straight is just not right, even for me with my cramps from doom. Especially when your pain-killers just can't take the pain away. Then something is up. :-P And I won't give up until I know what. :-)

*crosses fingers for second appointment to go well* When is it?

Recruitment freeze... We have it at the hospital too, and we´re starting to fear next year, when they´ll fire all substitutes... *shakes head* Not gonna work for long, let me tell you... :-/

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because it is not like your over-worked as it is already is it? So, how many off your collegues are heading towards that dreaded wall? I'll knock you over myself before you get there though... How many substitutes is there, btw? Sounds crazy to fire them all at the same time. :-P

I don't know when my second appointment is. :-P They'll send me a letter or call, I guess. Preferably before my next period... *crosses fingers*

[spicehobbit.livejournal.com]

Several, I´m afraid. Some of them because their work load is through the roof, and some others because they tend to get stressed when other people stress around...
Atm there are about 10 substitutes in, depending on how many of the regular crew´s on the sick-list.

As I might have said before: I work in a hospital, but it sure doesn´t mean it´s healthy being there!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Oh, you have pointed this out plenty off times. And your right. It is not a healthy workplace at all. Just slightly better then Transcom. But not with much.

Man, that suck sabout full time work. And I hope everything works out with the cramps. I know how awful they can be and I'm really glad you finally made it to the doctor :D

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Been to the Doc, so no need to worry now, you hear? ;-) And I did know it was going to be hell getting a job at a library here when I started out, but hey.... This trainee work is one big step forward, even though I have a long way yet to go. :-)
