[joke pending]

i just got back to work after a 7 month disability leave for a wrist injury. i got a prednisone shot that helped enough to return, but it’s been slowly stopping being effective since i got back.

today i mentioned i’m still in pain, and asked for extra breaks, so they sent me home and told me i can’t work again until i’m medically cleared (appt is the 30th). so i’m in a gap where i’m not getting paid, and leave/disability stuff moves slow (and wouldn't even get approved until after i talk to my doc anyway?)

bonus annoying detail?? while i was on leave, they told me they’d lined up a less RSI-straining position for me… and then they threw me back into the same position that exacerbated my injury in the first place!! and then last week i just watched the other position get filled by some random guy. i watched the exact same run-around happen to another transfem coworker before she quit!! which!! is a hard pattern to ignore!! so im using this time away to search for a new job...
