I Have A Conundrum Need To Vent....



Recommended Posts

Is there any reason that would lead you to believe he's taking this opportunity to replace you? Or are you just nervous about the surgery and reading too much into it?

It can be a scary situation dealing with training someone to do your job while you leave. Chances are they just don't want you to come back after surgery to a giant mess. I would definitely talk to the boss and ask if you should just show her the priority issues in your job and not focus on the small stuff that isn't necessarily time sensitive that you can deal with when you come back - afterall, you don't want to overload the temp! :)

Yes I know I already requested a talk with the boss hopefully he will have some time before I end the day to talk to him.

I don't mean to be the bummer, but depending on your laws he sure can let you go.

You menationed he said you were nt perfect but the office liked your work - request (now bot before you begin to train ANYONE) a full assessment of your duties and on a scale of 1-5 how you are performing AND a general ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE.

If you have a glowing review or even a passable one, and can get i email somehow that they are advising you the training is a temp only basis, yo uwill have a better chance of arguing the disability act - it is harder to prove than it sounds.

I will have a word with him today to go over these issues trust me all of this has gone through my mind today.

I don't know..she could have a case because the 2008 American Disability Act classifies obesity as a disability...just a thought.

I'm sure he just wants some work to be done while you're gone, rather than leave everything for you to do when you get back.

Assure him that you'll be back in the 2 weeks that you're planning. If you have a desk job, 2 weeks is plenty. Most people feel pretty good by then.

As an update I have been training my bosses Grandaugther and she is a sweetheart I had that talk with my boss and he said he just wants me to train her so she can help and get so knowledge of the type of job that I do because he want to find a part time job for her when she goes back to college (she is 21 years old).

So all seems well and my job should be back when I am ready hopefully all will be well and I will be back in 10 days :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
