29-7-2009 - Work sucks!!

My mood while writing this blog: tired

---

I'm soooo tired of my job!! I work at a call center about 40 miles away. So on top of sitting down for 8 hrs a day I drive for about 2hrs on top of that. I never though sitting all day would be so uncomfortable. My hips hurt like hell and the baby feels so high up that it hurts right under my boobs. Its a feeling I can't even describe. I'm exausted all day because I can't get any sleep at night because of my hip pain and heart burn. My job is super stressfull. I'm on the tech dept so I troubleshoot blackberries all day for adults who act like 2 year olds! I wish I could take off work now but I only get 6 weeks paid maternity leave. I'll have to be back before the baby is even born!! I'm not even sure my doc will approve it. She tells me all my symptoms are a part of pregnancy and I just have to deal with it. We have long term disabitlity at my job but I don't know how that works here. I'm gonna start looking into it now. How many of you ladies are still working? Am I just being a big fat pregnant baby about this? I think I should be able to stick it out, but I just don't wanna......lol

I understand completely. I am glad I came across your post. I am ready to go on leave and I am only 20 weeks. I sit a majority of the day, and I have to travel around the state certain days of the week. It is hot here in my state right now, and to top it all off, I am in school taking my last 4 classes before graduating in December.

Ha ha! I agree, work sucks! I'm still going to try to stick it out though, I have short term disability at my job so if the doctor takes me off I'll be paid 60% of my salary...not great but better then nothing. My big worry is time crawling by if I'm off work.

I would definitely ask your HR dept about how your disability leave works...it shouldnt effect your maternity leave....Hope it works out Mommy !!!

Wow, I cant believe your doctor said that...you need to take time off. I just returned to work after 6 weeks (short term disability) and my doctor was still gonna let me stay out as long as I wanted ! I

I am leaving this week, I am a Property Manager so a lot of driving and being abused by tenants and owners! It just got too hard both mentally and physically. I am going to enjoy the last quarter of my pregnancy without work stress.

I am still working and am as unhappy as you are. I don't get any paid maternity leave but my job has offered to let me have 12 weeks unpaid. I would love to be home too. I feel sick all the time. Nauseous, tired, massive headaches, etc. I try to take naps mid-day but that doesn't help. Good luck in your home stretch. I know I am going to need it.
