Agreed, as always, with our good friend Manuel Moe.

You are facing a number of difficult situations, Mental Fairy. I hope each of them gets better soon.

Hi
Boss is in court today and I simply don’t care at all. I don’t think this will change the way she behaves anyway. She’s been taking to court many many times. She will forever play the victim card.

Did starfish last night and slept solid. I took up as much room as possible and buried myself in a sea of pillows and blankets. I am thinking of getting off if the weighted blankets, people rave about them at the retreats.

Did a better run this morning, more energy and slightly better headspace. Breathing exercises and some mindfulness came into play.

Bit wobbly in the thoughts but at least I can lean into it and just be.

So hard to explain. I don't know why but i am feeling a lot of anger. Maybe because of my boss?

Anger for me results from feeling a personal affront, or an injustice toward me or someone or something I care about .. All the job stresses aside, it seems like your boss is f**cking up what would otherwise be a nice job situation, and forcing you to make a change. (My free analysis here )

Boss is in court today and I simply don’t care at all.

Why should you, really? She hasn't been loyal to you, and this is a personnel issue not a patient issue, right? She *should* take the rap for her mistreatment of her hires.

Glad to hear it. It seems like you're rounding a corner, and maybe better days are ahead.

Oh wise one, I do adore your posts! It’s a comfort to read your wisdom.

I did learn today that the human nose can have an erection!

I am currently reading a fascinating book about breathing as I want to understand a bit more about this act to partake in unconsciously.

The interior of the nose is blanketed in erectile tissues. The same flesh as what is on genitals and nipples. So when they become stimulated or erect the nose does too! The mere thought of arousal sends the tissues signals to become erected, some people change breathing patterns at this time. It can cause people to sneeze uncontrollably. It’s called honeymoon rhinitis. As stimulation lowers the nose becomes softer!


So if anyone in the room sneezes I’m leaving asap

Ha! That made me think immediately about the Wizard of Oz!
All Toto needs to do is pull back the curtain

But thank you. It's gratifying to know that tapping out a few thoughts was helpful to you.

I almost walked off the job today, she had gone up a new level of nasty by the hour. Her medical typist quit and her last day is the same as mine. The new person found out today and raised her eyebrows. I said nothing.

I’ve broken out in hives from the stress of it all. It’s easier running long distance than working in this place.

That's really terrible. Especially for patients under her care.
She needs to take a long rest.

How much more time do you have there?

Hang in there, Mental Fairy. You didn’t deserve this.

Things will be better soon.

Keep us posted.

Last day today.

My nerves are shot to hell. Yesterday she was rude, childish and selfish.
I have told my replacement absolutely everything so she can make an informed decision for herself. I am going walk away from this knowing I’ve given my all go patients but I absolutely feel like this women is bonkers and unfixable.

She’s raciest, shes unkind and yesterday she said to a patient that the lab results can’t be true and the pathologist was useless. Yet by the end of the day with two other pathologists looking at the same sample confirmed the patient was stage 3 cancer. Yet my boss thinks the pathology unit is useless and full of shit.

I’m so over it all. Total will be the hardest day but best day. I can give no more. My tank is empty.
