NOOO!!!!

I was this close to making a clean get-away! &#@%!!!!

My boss asked me again to work the STD clinic full-time when my co-worker is off for surgery. I had originally told her that I would do so if it did not interfere with Joe's visit here knowing full well that it would because of the date of the surgery. The date has been moved up slightly and I am now screwed! So is Joe.

I have no desire to work full-time. I also have NO desire to travel down the sensory pleasure path of nasty crotch and penis again. Ah, you don't know what you are missing if you haven't tried it! :holy:

My boss is the type of person that I can be very frank with. She knows my strengths and my weakness's very well. My weakness's are that I am piss poor with paperwork, I am often 5-10 minutes late and I can't stand to get up early. It is stretching myself for me to be there for the clinics that start at noon!

I fussed a bit. "What about my World AIDS Day outreach testing clinic? I still want to do that but how will I be able to?" "Who is going to do the HIV counseling? We are down two counselors." "How will I be able to do my field work?" Ah, she had an answer for everything! Basically, "You can still do all of that as well." emoticon

I negotiated with her to get the hours down to minimum. Said that I would not work Fridays and did she honestly ever expect me to be there by 8:30 am? That is a completely unrealistic goal. I agreed to come in a bit early to set up for the clinics and stay a bit later to process the paperwork and the specimans but I told her that the earliest she would ever see my face would be 11:05 am.

Now here is the real kicker. Due to the way the county works (government offices!) I have to change my status from HIV Counselor to Registered Nurse. This means that I will get almost $10 an hour less per hour! I have to take a pay cut to do something I don't want to do! My boss said "It won't impact you financially because you will be working more hours." $#@%! I don't care how you word it! I am still getting paid less! And knowing how Inhuman Resources works at the county they will probably [email protected]#$ up my pay for months after this. Hell, they lost my application for permanent employment after I worked the summer that I returned from England as a temporary R.N. for 6 months! I had to wait for them to repost the position and then I had to have yet another interview! I think I have had to do that 4 times now there. What a wad of bullshit that is! They pretend that they don't know me and I have to pretend that I don't them and answer a bunch of asshead questions. It's very awkward and stupid considering that each time I was told before the interviews that I would have the positions. I asked my boss "Jaysus Cheerist! Am I going to have re-interview two more times now?! Is there going to be more health physicals involved because if there is I have to say no!" I hate doctors and prefer to avoid them at all costs with the exception of my chiropractor who delivered me from constant pain.

When I came out from the chat my co-workers were looking at me like "Well.....what was that about?" When I told them they had the nerve to laugh at me. This not going to be hardly any fun at all. I will be covering for the person that is the smartest and the most fun to work with so she will not even be present. I will have two complete dipshit nurses and one very bristly and and odd one to consult for resources when I have a question about treatment.

Also, the clinics are already staffed with 3 nurses which is the usual. I blame this on the idiot pansy-ass guy that they hired 3 months ago that passes out over the thought of viewing crotches!

Yes, I could have said no to all of this. But I love my job and I did not want to screw my co-workers by declining to buck up.

Joe! You were supposed to save me from crotch! Damn! We had two huge women show up today in filthy pajama bottoms and slippers with a truck load of little brats. I don't want to see, smell or touch that!

On the lighter side....two guys came into the clinic today. Part of my job is to screen who needs to be seen that day and whom I can schedule for a later date. Only one of the men wanted to be seen but he did not speak English very well. His friend wanted to come back with me to translate for him. It is a confidentiallity issue and I had to be sure that all parties were in agreement about it before I took them back to my office. I asked the client questions and the other man translated and answered the questions. I decided that the client needed to be seen today and I told him what he could expect. Then I said "You really should be using condoms." The guy that was translating said "No! No F**KING at all!!" PSML!

Re: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alright, barefoot. let's say you are a teacher. they get paid roughly what you get paid. would they ever have the luxery of stating that they would not be present at work 3 hours later than they were expected?
probably not.

I worked at a health clinic for a short time, and I didn't have the stomach for the needle like inserts into the head of a penis, so I didn't choose to do it for a living, but I have also done manual labour without benefits, without equal pay, and without a union behind me.

I appreciate what you do for a living, and I am grateful beyond words for those who choose your profession. [email protected]#$ about your clients stupidity all you want, as I'm sure you see enough of it. but look at it this way... you have a job - a good job - in which you are so viable that you can nearly choose your hours. you have a plethora of clients - you will never be obsolete. and you are caring enough to take care of the people that come your way, and demand the working conditions that require it.

I'd say it's a win win.

Spacebuggy,

I am not complaining about my job. I love it and have a true passion and commitment for it. I would have preferred not to re-experience the dubious pleasure of examining and inserting things into crotches and penis's again. The only things I truly enjoy sticking into people are needles. But I will work whatever area they ask me to because they have been very loyal to me over the years. They have rehired me so many times and they know full well what a loon I am.

I have neither benefits nor a union. Those are reserved for full-time employees. I am happy with that as well because I don't need either of those things. The benefit of the position that I have is that I can tell them I am taking time off whenever I choose to go travel for as long as I like. This also why I have the luxury of telling my boss that I won't show up at 8:30 and that I won't work Fridays etc.

My biggest irks here are the timing of this thing. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with Joe. I had planned to tell them to take me off of the schedule for that entire time but knew that I couldn't do that to them once we lost 2 cunselors. Now I am working more and not less. I had a ton of things planned to do with Joe for his American Christmas.

Also this really makes it difficult for me to organize my World AIDS Day outreach clinic which is my pet project.

And lastly, to have pay cut to change status is fairly insulting to me. It's not about the money. It is about the principle!

No can do, Heidi! I will have to have Joe available to help me deck the halls. I want to take him to a Christmas tree farm and have him freeze his tush off whilst I look for two perfect trees. I want to do 3 trees this year a pool party themed tree out by the pool, a tree on the front porch decorated with snowflakes and snacks for the birds and the doggone squirrels and my usual indoor tree. Joe! You get to have hot chocolate and doughnuts after we pick out the trees!

I want to take Joe to get his picture taken with Santa and I need Joe's help to take Frankie in for his annual photo with Santa at the pet stores. Proceeds from that go to the Humane societies.

Joe is going to learn how to bake cookies and make evergreen wreaths. We have 11 of them to make!

I want to take him on a Christmas house tour so that he can see that there are people that are worse than me.

He also needs to go for a drive to see the outlandish light displays and those tacky blow up Santas and such.

My friends also want some time with him.

Can you think of anything else that Joe needs to complete his American Christmas experience?

You only make 11 cookies? Damn, I know that there are family traditions at Christmas, but that one is just a little strange.

Same as the old boss! Ha ha!

Joe, do you still have that little blue hat from your childhood? I think that would look great in your picture with Santa.

Nah, I can probably find something even more embarassing though.
