Wow! This is a few hours early for you. I guess it's because your previous stressful situation is finally over? I'm happy if you can get to sleep early tonight. nod

Good for you!! Now, I'm sorry I even brought it up. Don't get stressed all over again. Go to sleep, instead. nod You could probably use a really good night's sleep, for a change.

Despite the seriousness of your post I LMAO 'ed here -

You sir have had a hell of a couple days. Most people in perfect health would have issues with that situation.

Quote from VorlonFrog :
If I was still a drinking man (which I'm not) I probably would have gone to a bar instead of a diner today, and I'd have consumed almost a complete bottle of whiskey. Instead, I spent several hours at Barnes & Noble, sipping a latte', reading, and surfing from my phone. It wasn't productive, but it was reasonably peaceful and a relief from work.
That was a great choice getting away from that problem as much as possible. You don't need any advice from anyone here - you seem to have dealt with that extremely well.

Even as well as you handled it I certainly hope your day tomorrow is infinitely better. Smilie

Quote from VorlonFrog :
That's the problem, I *DON'T* work for them. I'm a consultant, and they're the client who pays my employer about twice what my employer pays me (gross + benefits). Some bean-counter in the corporate accounting office actually questioned why our location's gross revenues were down following the two weeks I was out for my gall bladder. I heard the admin tell the bean counter, "He's been out on medical leave for two weeks following surgery, that's why we didn't bill as much as usual."
That entire situation makes a lot more sense now that you've said this. You're between a rock and the proverbial hard place.

I don't envy you man! Best of luck sincerely!

I figured you might be one of the few here who could appreciate that. Unless anyone else remembers the Temptations' original recording (not nearly as good) or Bruce Springsteen's cover of the tune, which I've never heard.

Thanks for mentioning it. I'm in decent (note I did not say "good" or "perfect") health considering the stress of dealing with these asshats. I strongly recommend their competition, every opportunity I receive.

Yeah, it took my father's death at age 57 for me to seek medication and give up drinking. Some people describe alcoholism as "self-medicating" and to a certain extent, they're correct. In my case, it was a pleasurable method of ignoring the anger and depression that were keeping me awake too many nights. I'd guess I went to work five or six days each week while being well past legally intoxicated.

I can't win, seriously. I need to find another position with a different employer soon, or the client is gonna hear me curse a blue streak that makes VQ's worst flatus or aerial feces seem like roses and orchids by comparison.
