A few years ago when I worked with my family at the scrap metal recycling plant, I managed to disturb a nest of yellow jackets.... they swarmed me... and chased me... I'm not sure how I got away from them... I can't really remember... I do remember getting to a phone and calling Barry... telling him what happened, and his telling me to get out to the clinic... I remember that he stopped counting stings at around 50...
He treated me... gave me some medication for what he suspected would transpire... and told me what to expect... What I didn't expect for the next ten years would be that every time I would get stressed, I would break out in welts... sometimes they weren't too bad... sometimes, they were horrific...
When I got to my office this morning, there was a note for me that I needed to see my Division Chair ASAP... Rhut Rho... I almost immediately starting breaking out... I hadn't had on of these spells in a long time... I still carry benadryl with me out of habit so I was able to head off a serious situation...
The meeting with the Chair, although not bad news, didn't offer a great deal of hope... and really didn't go beyond what I've been told the past couple of meetings... so I am not sure why this meeting was necessary...
Then this afternoon, I was called into a meeting with the Dean... this was the one I cherished having because this guy has been invisible throughout the entire process... he has provided no leadership... no input... no "anything"... and I told him that he needs to step up and be a leader for us... I possibly overstepped my bounds a bit, but crap... what's he going to do?? Fire me?????

The good news is that Michelle declared Margarita Time this afternoon at 3.00 PM... she and I went for drinks and just to get away from the office... she is a sweet sweet person... and needed to express her concerns for her fears about work... I'm a good listener... and getting to listen to a pretty woman talk while she buys me drinks??? I'm THERE!!!!!

I was ever so close to doing something really stupid today... I am glad that my common sense protected me... I almost ordered flowers for someone who didn't deserve them... Good Boy, Shoes!!!!!

yeah she doesn't deserve them...Love you! I'm all about the tequilla...
ReplyDeleteGood for you! No flowers. You can get me chocolates if you need to though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sensitive to wasp stings too, benadryl can be a lifesaver, especially when you cant't breathe. Take good care, Shoes!
