What a friggin' day!

Ha, What a day! 

It started off with a phone call from my boss (we will call her "A") letting me know that she was going to fire our office manager (we will call her "B"); my immediate supervisor.

Let me give you some background.

For the past two weeks "B" has been on 'paid administrative leave' and was under investigation for creating a hostile work environment. There were several complaints regarding her attitude and demeanor from other employees; myself included. I was harassed via text messages for allegedly throwing away post it notes that her daughter drew on. After about the 10the message I called "A" and told her I was not dealing with it. I was ready to quit. I have been dealing with a shitty attitude from"B" for a while. She is rude, snappy, and loves to micro-manage. So, the non-stop messaging tipped me over the edge. "A" told me such was meeting with a HR consultant to figure out how to handle "B" and asked me to "hang in there". That was 2+ weeks ago and the situation has finally been resolved. "B" was fired today. 

But, it does not end there!

"A" told me that with the changes she was looking to bring in one person, full time, from 8-5, Monday through Friday, with a lot of billing experience who can work in the mornings doing billing and then switch gears and "man" the front desk for the remainder of the day. She said that she knew I did not want full time. She is sorta right. I took the job at HRA because initially I did not want to work full time. I left APT for a lighter schedule and a higher wage. But, since I made that transition we have noticed that money is tighter than we would like it to be. So, I told "A" that I was willing to work that shift for her. I don't want to lose my job. She said "thanks for letting me know." I did ask her if she was replacing me as well and she said she has to see what she needs as far as abilities and experience. Huh? I billed 300 claims a week, ran front desk, and kept up on "housekeeping" for 8 physical therapist! I think I can bill 70 claims a week for 4 acupuncturist!  But, whatever (yes, I am tad bitter). I guess I just have to wait and see what she decides.

Which  brings me to my next event of the day...

Since I thought "B" might be sticking around I started applying for new jobs. Today I had an invitation to attend a "group interview" for a naturalpathic doctor in town. When I got there I was notified that "B" was going to be there too! The woman who put the interview together, Layla, is also a patient of  "A's" and knows "B" from the office. What are the fucking odds? Anyway, "B" and I sat next to each other with the interviewing doctor between us. It was too close for comfort! Group interviews suck by the way and this made it that much worse. However, I made it through, thank God. They said they will call by the end of the week for private interviews. I just want to add that there were 80 resumes submitted and only 8 invited for the interview! 

THEN.... Just now...

I am at home, writing this blog, and I got a message from "A" telling me that "B" has been sending unpleasant text messages to other employees. She asked me to ignore her, save any messages and let her know asap. She said she apologizes for dragging me into this drama and she said that she appreciates me being in the office right now. 

When I came back into my computer I noticed I had an "alert" on my FB page. Guess what?! "B" friend requested me! She then followed that up with a text saying..." Fuck you. All I needed was job to take care of my kid. Ruthless." Oh my.



Ok, so lets move on now to my last un event of the day. I took more OPKs today and these were the results. There were 3 but the CB did not have a smiley face so it is photo shy.
Top: CD 15 morning- Middle: CD16 morning- Bottom: CD 16 afternoon
So let me ask you... WHAT day do I call OVULATION!?

  1. Your OPKs are confusing the crap out of me. What are your temps doing?

    I'm sorry for the crappy work situation. I don't really have any advice other than to keep looking for something a little more stable. "B" sounds like an absolute nut job.

  2. I hate my OPKs. I am glad I am not the only one who is confused. My temps dropped then spiked then dropped. I have my chart linked on the left of my blog. Let me know what you think.
    Work. Oh, work. B wont stop messaging me as if I caused this.... Whatever.

  6. So many things. Lets start with work. Wow! Holy cow! What an awkward, uncomfortable position. Save those texts just in case you need them as proof one day.

    Second, your opk's just do not make sense. I'd go with the smiley face ones. Also, before you spend money on a monitor(I have no idea how much it cost), I would examine what your next steps will be. What does your RE say? If you are eventually going to end up with IUI or IVF, save your money and put it toward the bigger treatments.

    1. Holy cow, is right! What a mess work is right now. I keep kicking myself because I left a really good job with insurance and benny's for my current job... so if I get canned too, I will be so mad.

      I hate my ovulation. I am gonna go with CD 16018 as ovulation, temps are still not rising. :(

  7. I never did the ovulation predictor thing, so I can't help you out there.

    B is so crazy!!! I don't deal well with stress, but it sounds like you are doing a good job handling this situation. Good for you! I hope to read that your work environment improves soon, I know too much stress is not good for you.

  8. Holy psycho! If it makes you feel better my job just isn't tripping my trigger like it used too. I could just still be in a funk because my mentor left and I have some punk kid who tries to act like he knows more than me which just irks me beyond belief! Yay for the positives!!!!

  9. Holy cannoli on the work situation! That is just nuts. I hope it gets better soon...sounds like it can't get much worse (knocks on wood). As for the OPK's, I have a CBEFM that I bought and used years ago- buying the sticks it takes online was annoying and expensive because you have to pee on a stick everyday. I am not an OPK tester anymore, but the monitor drove me nuts. There were months when I never got a peak reading and then I had wasted a whole month's worth of sticks. I also seem to remember that they advised using it while taking fertility meds can cause it to be inaccurate. I think it's best when used when you are naturally trying. Just my experience on that one :)

    1. Work is nuts! It is a holistic health care office so you think they would frown on stress and drama... ;-)
      I think I will hold off on the monitor. You and Amber are both correct. They are expensive, don't work well with meds and if I move onto something else, I don't want a $150.00 laying around going to waste.

  10. That text - followed by that ecard - HYSTERICAL.
