They want the impossible and they won't get it. Even the CEO was recently fired and replaced, which speaks to how high up this impossible demand com. Anyway, I need to read up on what side-effects come from taking this T supplement, if any. I don't want any unpleasant surprises.Emilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243427784399799169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460112716941617007.post-60878737388643955262013-04-12T09:22:33.604-05:002013-04-12T09:22:33.604-05:00Thank goodness you are leaving your job!

So many people have to take stuff for their body deficiencies and there is no shame in that! Bodies aren't perfect, they do fall apart, and we need to give them what they need. The stigma with medication is frustrating and people should be fine with being open about things like this. It's normal.Padded Cell Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179138500397929437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460112716941617007.post-69782584419438042532013-04-12T01:11:09.410-05:002013-04-12T01:11:09.410-05:00AlleyCat, I worked with some good people, but some...<b>AlleyCat</b>, I worked with some good people, but something is deeply wrong at the higher levels in that place. Unfortunately, its the people at the top who determine the culture, so nothing is ever going to change for the better there. As for Nashville, its still up-in-the-air as to whether that is going to work out or not. Seems companies will happily interview people from out-of-town, but prefer not to hire them. I'm not sure what the reasons are for that, but it has been that way for as long as I have been working in my profession.<br /><br />The testosterone seems to be helping. I had started to wonder if my body had just given up. Seems in fact it had, since it was no longer bothering to produce the amount of T it needed. So now I'm having to supplement what my body doesn't want to bother producing. I hope this doesn't have any nasty side-effects I don't know about. Anyway, my goal with the race training is mainly just not to get hurt while I try to prepare myself for the day that I know I'm going to start out way too fast and the weather is going to be much too hot. That's how it always goes on race day. I always end up spending the final mile just trying not to collapse. Then I get to the finish line, look at the clock as I'm approaching and cry "noooo, why wasn't I faster?!"<br /><br />The pollen levels right now are sky high and I mowed the yard without a mask on, so I inhaled a ton of toxic pollens. It'll take me all week to get this out of my sinuses. I'm not familiar with Rhinocourt, but I ended up dosing myself with some Dayquil. It stopped up the flow, which then gave me a massive migraine because the pollen is still in there, only now it isn't flowing out with the river of mucous. Win some, lose some, I guess. HA HA!<br /><br />OK, there'll be at least 3 of us for the pub crawl. Now I just have to get myself over there to the land of the golden beaches. Thing is, once I get there, I won't want to ever leave.

Years later they'd be abbreviating 'testosterone' to just 'T' and there he was 20 years beforehand doing the same thing. They should pay him royalties or something.<br /><br />I understand about being an expert in toxic environments. This blog isn't OMG FML for nothing. I've had some epic bad employers before. One place was so bad I went back after a month of being sick just to turn in my resignation and leave again. And it was the toxic environment of the job that made me so sick in the first place. Once I finally quit I got well.<br /><br />Making each day count is important. We don't know how many days we're going to get, or how many of them will be Spring days compared to cold, nasty, wet Winter days.Emilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243427784399799169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460112716941617007.post-12138767482717889032013-04-12T00:56:17.846-05:002013-04-12T00:56:17.846-05:00AlleyCat, OK, so far it's the three of us then...<b>AlleyCat</b>, OK, so far it's the three of us then!Emilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243427784399799169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460112716941617007.post-15670257901444050402013-04-12T00:55:25.072-05:002013-04-12T00:55:25.072-05:00Ute, I can't guarantee it'll allow me more...<b>Ute</b>, I can't guarantee it'll allow me more time for blogging activity, but it would sure be nice to have more time to simply take a breath every now and then. This past month in particular has been ridiculous.<br /><br />My doc wouldn't even agree that anything is wrong with my thyroid even with the sky high score on one of the numbers. But the nurse practitioner thought perhaps it was worth looking into so I'm on the tiniest possible dose of Synthroid. I've heard different tales about this drug. Some say it finally enabled them to lose weight and grow stronger. Others said it did not enable them to finally lose the weight. I'll be mighty upset if it doesn't. <br /><br />OK, so its official - a pub crawl and Macca's feast with flying pickles when the sun comes up!Emilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243427784399799169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460112716941617007.post-55819738860070585482013-04-11T18:02:39.574-05:002013-04-11T18:02:39.574-05:00Glad to hear you are leaving your evil job.

Rhinocourt is my friend then.
