After ALL of THAT...

So after all the trouble of getting the note from my doctor (which is what Management had told me I needed to get in order to let me go to the bathroom at any time other than my break), they have now decided that I am not allowed to do that. Despite medical neccessity, I have two choices:

(1) Take 40 minutes of scheduled 5-minute unpaid restroom breaks throughout the day (non-flexible; I MUST go to the restroom at these designated times and will be docked the 5-minutes even if I did not go and I will be docked ADDITIONAL time if the restroom break is taken outside of the designated 5-minute period)

(2) Hold it till my break.

HR has told my manager that I MUST take a straight uninterrupted 15-minute break BY LAW (which is a lie), and that NO OTHER EMPLOYEES have any arrangements other than what has been offered to me (which is also a lie).

I don't have the time or the energy to fight HR, so I guess I'll just attempt to "Hold It". But I really would have appreciated it if they had never sent me off on this wild goose chase to begin with!

Tension!

Today has been the tensest work day I've ever experienced. I don't know what it is, but I am just TENSE! Every customer I speak to just sends me right over the edge and I start snapping! ANd I'm really paranoid, too... I keep thinking that the people around me and in the chat rooms are all talking about *me* and plotting against me for some reason. I need the weekend to get here much sooner. Even one more day of this may make me snap.
