Frustrated.

MrsBeckO · April 2011

My little Bean had an EI 2 wks ago, just finished the amox on Saturday. Came home last night with a goopy eye, which was the only sign of the EI before. No fever, no fussing. She woke up in the middle of the night with a low grade fever and what looked like pinkeye. So I called in to work this morning to let them know I'd be late so I can take Bean to the Pedi. And sure as ***, EI is worse AND she has pinkeye. For the FOURTH time. Meds (combined) were $140 (!!!!!). Called to update work and I was told to eat before I come in because I won't get a break today.. So I'm working 11-630 (though I never get out of there before 645) with no break, and I'm not allowed to have food in my room. Farking awesome. I should have just called out for the whole day to snuggle my bean and let dh stay at work.

Do they not realize there are labor laws that mandate you get a break? Sheesh. Slave drivers.

Sorry about the Bean. Where is she today?

7.5+ hours with no break? Is that even legal if you earn an hourly wage?

I was about to say...

I'm so sorry bean is sick.

Sleeping in her carseat while I bump from the driver's seat, currently. Andy will be home ~1030 so I can go to work. Blah.

ETA: And so sorry about baby girl.

Texas sucks and does not have a break requirement for employees. So sorry about your DD. I hope she feels better soon.

I know how you feel--there have been days when I don't get my conference and I work from the moment I get to school around 8 until I leave at 4:15. Super sucks.

Sorry Cam is sick.

WTF?! I had no idea- after googling 5 ways, you're right. That sucks, I'm sorry.

I hope she feels better soon.

We are going through the same thing. Cold/EI/pink eye. Its awful. And then to have to deal with work on top of that. Ugh! I hope she feels better soon.
