Why Does The Last Day At Work Before Vacation Suck So Bad

[alaskanpiper]

My vasectomy started as an “incident”

I have a two year old "incident" at home myself

Well I am not taking a vacation anywhere. My wife is making me go to the Dr next week. I had an incident a few days ago. I had a leg cramp and attempted to get out of bed. I woke up a little bit later with my wife yelling my name and my head against the nightstand and blood everywhere. I have been sick since November in febuary they said I had pneumonia. I spent two months on steroids and antibiotics my Xrays show pneumonia is gone but I have a ton of pain under my ribs going all the way around my back and I still cant breathe very well. My pipe smoking is down to a bowl or two a day.

while I hope you get the other issues dealt with in a painless, timely and successful way, I can commiserate about leg (and arm, foot and hand) cramps. Maybe a delightful feature of getting older and also can be aided and abetted by certain medications like blood pressure diuretics. My wise old physician gave me some advice a number of years ago: Tonic water (quinine water) relieves cramps. For some this might mean learning to love vodka and tonic or gin and tonic I suppose. I find tonic water sort of unpleasant, especially at 3:00 AM. However, I have found it to be very helpful. You might ask your physician about it.

Geez...I hope you feel better soon.

I've never quite gotten my bliss in line with my bills, but I was able to get aspects of my bliss with my paying job, with enough time to pursue my bliss on my own time. Life is a process of compromises, and sometimes the compromises lead you to better places than your intentions. But I feel lucky to have had a few jobs that were strictly day jobs, that offered a lot of knowledge and experience, followed by a job that allowed using a lot of my skills. I can actually say I "used" my degrees. When I read sable's statistic about 85% of people hating their work, this fills me with gratitude.

I am lucky to have the job I have it truly is rewarding and the 5 weeks a year in vacation is a nice perk
