I am reminded by the post up above of a very annoying thing I had to do to obtain one of my jobs. It seems first of all that almost all of them require drug screens, annoying enough? Not quite. Since I naturally have to disclose any and all medication I take at these lovely employee health dept. physicals, I always get to tell these strangers that I take an antidepressant and a benzo for depression and anxiety. One time I had to get a letter from my psychiatrist that would clear me for work. OK, I can understand the practical reasons for that, but it really bothered me. I felt like I needed to prove myself competent to work, not at all comforting to my already shaky self-esteem. In fact I found it insulting. I also did not appreciate that instrument shoved up my nostrils to check for damage to my septum (just in case I was a coke addict).
AND
I hate a coworker of mine, OK I intensely dislike her. I hate workplace politics. I want to crush her like a bug. She is SOOOOOO condascending and demeaning it oozes from her pores, and she hardly bathes. AAARRRGHHH!
thank you for your attention if you got this far.
