I really didnt want to whine about work anymore. But I must record this to reread next year when I think about working at the distribution center again. They pay really well, that is the thing… but for what prize.
I left for work at 4.30 am today, and came back at 4.45 pm. Yes, over 12 hours of hard physical work.
Today was rent day. I HATE pay day. In Austria we have a 13th and 14th salary, and today along with the rents, the elderly got their Christmas money, yes, in October. I got about 46 Euros tip!
When I got back to the post office, my group leader told me that I have to go out with someone by bike, to look at the area where I will go next week. We took these postal bikes, I will take a piccie next week to show you. Those bikes are disgusting to ride.
As this isnt enough…
On Wednesday my right knee started to hurt really bad. Despite putting on heavy pain killer lotion, I still hobbled (word) through the area yesterday out of pain. It was aweful. Yesterday evening my second knee started to hurt, and both knees were swollen. So I hobbled through the area again today, and the biking was just the overkiller. Both knees are still swollen, they really hurt, and I can hardly walk anymore. I have no idea how to get through next week.
Is this my body telling me no more?

Yes Connie, STOP RIGHT NOW! It sounds like you are really damaging your legs. Resign! They can’t expect you to do all this. Sorry to sound harsh but you can’t work after the pain barrier. You need to stop before you do more damage to yourself. Plus, even if I have to fly over to Austria, you are not working there next year! Sorry if I sound harsh but you are treated like dirt at work, and you try so hard. 12 hours is too much.

Hi Connie! Oh you poor thing… you are SOOO overworked! I can’t believe you do 12 hour days…I only do 7 1/2 hour days and even that is too much for me! Haha. Well, I hope your knees get better soon…
. It’s nearly summer here!! YAY!

Connie– I am not a doctor or a nurse so I cannot tell you whether your body’s health is being overworked or not. What I can tell you is that this job is totally not worth all this *beep* that you have to endure. I am so sad to hear you complain day after day about how miserable your job makes you and how badly you feel at the end of each course. >__< I really want this job to be over for you right now, at the very moment! Take care and reply or stop by my site when you are able to. Luv ya!

Nicki is right – Connie, skip the last week. See the doctor – and he will tell you not to walk that much….
You know, it’s too heavy for you…
