Its getting so like every hour or so I think “You know I could just walk out the door and take a point”. Its so hard to push through sometimes.
I have like 4 points out of 8. When you reach 8 you get fired I think. I got 2 points from not going in when we had severe weather.
Anyway, I am really struggling to stay all day.
Anyone else have this issue?
After 14 years at this job it’s hard to go in in the morning. I fantasize about quitting, sometimes if my co workers are bugging me I just think about a dramatic walk out and never going back. I have too much to lose though to quit and I know I can make it through just three or four hours and then go home. I can’t survive on SSDI alone and I couldn’t imagine starting over at a new job; I don’t think any other job would put up with me being so slow and missing so many days.
In the last three years I’ve had only two weeks of perfect attendance where I wasn’t. even a minute late and didn’t miss a day. Otherwise, I’m late or calling in sick. I don’t know if my new boss will put up with me missing so many days, I’ll see soon. But yeah, since I lowered my hours to three hours, two days a week and four hours on Fridays going to work has been a lot easier but I’ve been working almost steadily since 1983 and I’m tired of it.
I have a super hard time making it all the way through my 10 hour work day. I got ADA accommodations in place to allow for double the amount of normal breaks. So basically because of my ADA accommodation I have a total of 60 minutes per day that I can use to split up into small brakes. that alone helps me be able to make it through most of the day, but even then lots of times I still really struggle with the last 2 to 3 hours of the day. Sometimes they even leave early. I haven’t been talked to you about it yet, but I know if I keep doing it they will. Sometimes I don’t have enough motivation to go into work on time so I arrive late and let them know that I’m a late arrival I got to stop doing it or else I know I will get talked to.
