Hey,
So an update from Wednesday's blog. Basically due to my painful legs (see Spastic diplegia) I had two days off work which my boss was not happy about. On Thursday I went to the doctors and was put on Baclofen which I had put off taking years ago due to the long list of possible side effects which includes, impotence & the inability to ejaculate. Out of the long list it was those two that bothered me the most... Anyway...
So I'm now taking Baclofen and went back to work on Friday. I had a meeting with my boss to discuss my time off sick. I started to talk about my legs and the medication but he just said I was jumping ahead because he wanted to know 'in my words' what happened Friday. Well like I said in my wednesday blog 'Friday i start feeling sick and like the guy i work with i left early and went home, was sick and felt crappy for the rest of the weekend.' He then says you were overheard saying 'I can't hack it anymore, I'm going home' which threw me slightly because it wasn't something that i just mumbled to myself it was something that i stood up and announced to the whole office. So to me it was like someone saying to martin luther king jr.. you were overheard saying 'I have a dream'. So someone told him I went home early on friday because 'I can't hack it anymore, I'm going home' but left out the 'I'm sorry guys I feel really sick... I can't hack it anymore, I'm going home' and not only that but the hours of conversation about me feeling rough and whether i should go home or not, and not only that but the reply from my 'I'm sorry guys I feel really sick... I can't hack it anymore, I'm going home' which was 'No problem. Hope you feel better soon'. So what was being made clear is that someone from my office is telling my line manager a whole load of bullshit about me. This made the whole issue to why he wants me to phone him first if im sick, snap in to focus. He wants me to phone him first because what he hears from my office and what he hears from me are different. As the conversation went on we ironed out any confusion about my condition and I agreed to see Occupational Health to see if work can do anything to help me while im at work. Basically I said I would jump through any hoops they want me to just to prove that my condition is a real problem for me and not something I use to get out of work. After all I've got nothing to hide.
After the meeting I had a word with the guy I text on wednesday about not coming in to find out what happend when I phoned in sick, and he just confirmed my suspisions. There is a person in the office who for some reason has it in for me when it comes to sickness, It was him who told my boss why I left early friday and why i couldnt come in wednesday. It was also the same guy who about a year ago said he saw me in a pub on a night in which i was actually in bed off sick. I really don't get why people like him like to stir and not only that but make things up. He is a grown man for fucks sake acting like a 5 year old. Anyway, hopfully this will all be resolved now as my boss is now aware that this person doesnt tell me the truth about me.

I'd try not to worry to much about the impotance because if you think about it too much its bound to happen.
Hope you have a great weekend
