I Need to Win the Powerball

[hooklineandsinker]

Back to work I went. I tried hiding and slacking but my supervisor found me and assigned me the job of dusting a whole wall of shelves. This involves climbing up and down a big step ladder and moving everything.

I kept sneaking off but she'd find me and say "Are you sitting again? Are the shelves clean?"

Well yeh. I barely have the energy to walk.

Later on she explained to me that dusting had to be done every single day to keep up with it. I told her it would be a whole lot easier with a swifter for daily use and a thorough cleaning once a month and next thing I knew, she brought me one.

Anyway, I made it through the day.

The fatigue is just incredible. I used to be superwoman but someone hit me with kryptonite. :)

And I bought a witch ball. For those of you who haven't read my other posts this will not make sense.

The witch ball is my way to remind myself to stay on track and to ward off the evil narcotic spirits that tell me if I just ate a couple, I would feel so much better and go back to being the energetic non stop worker I used to be..

Day 2 wasn't much better except I was more successful in slacking. :)

My appetite came back big time and I'm constantly eating something.

I can really relate to the post about making sarcastic remarks. I'm fine with the customers but having a hard time not mouthing off, albeit facetiously, to my supervisor.

Example. One of my co workers who is somewhat of a PITB was going on and on to the supervisor about how she was a "linear thinker" and had to start a task and stick with it until she finished. She's new so she doesn't know that will not end well. :)

Anyway, later on, when I was asked why I was sitting instead of working I said "I'm a circular thinker. My mind goes in circles." My supervisor told me my mind better get back to what I was supposed to be doing. LOL.

On the plus side, I'm finding new hiding places.

oh man.........your post reminds me of what I went through.

heck, my boss knows and is still taking them. you would think he would have said,"hey dude, take a few days off till you get some what back to normal",given hes an addict too !! well he's a hardazz, and did not offer up  much if any sympathy.

so I had to work, all while shaking off methadone!! it sucked big time!  the done took about 3 weeks just to get back to semi-normal. I spent  the first two weeks feeling like I had radiation poisoning. it was bad, but I made it and so will you if you are committed.

try what ever it takes to take the edge off.  energy drink helped me. ibuprophin,rohdiola herb, L-tyrosine, ginseng, ginko blends, and even cold meds to help yopu get through th rough days.

I really really feel your pain. I work in sales, and have always been the super energetic friendly helpful chick... now I feel like my evil alterego or something. I can't be bothered to do a dang thing, and I've been so snappy and sarcastic to everyone. I know this won't last forever.. but yeah, it *****.
