just a thought, call in sick, get that burn looked at. by the hospital or you doctor. give them the bill when you go back to work and keep too yourself and watch them.

Hi Oldyam,
thing is, you need the paycheck or you'd be out ridin'.
A time or two I've had people in my design group say:-
" I can't work here any more, this place is full of arseholes."
I have always advised them:-
"If you can find a better job, good for you; but don't quit if your only reason is that this place is full of arseholes, the new place will be full of them too."

[oldyam80sg]

Thats true Fred!

OK so i went to work today and told my boss Pete that he basically ignored me and my burned arm on Friday because he was almost done with work and was too busy to deal with it.Also said the meeting should not have been a reason to be ignored.He said if i tell the upper management he would be in serious trouble for not filing an incident report.So he explained the situation to the assistant plant manager who asked him why wasn't it reported.She said that the meeting should have been interrupted and that if i feel like i should go to the doctor they will have to pay for it.I opted not to and actually filled out a report.Was told that if i think in the future that i need to go to the ER i can go without questions and should tell my boss that I'm going.So for right now things are a little better than Friday.

Glad to hear things are looking a little better for you...sometimes all that is needed is a change of your perspective. It seems to me that most of the trouble is in a lack of good communication...which is essential in any worthwhile endeavor/relationship.
One of these days we will have to get together for a ride...I am thinking about a RTE to Frenchtown in late Sept or early Oct...I will post when the time comes.

The Boss is paying for his stupidity ...

Here is today's shot of me a week after an industrial accident:



I've been off tree work for a week now. This happened to me using the 65' boom of a bucket truck to push over a large Cherry tree.

Moral of story: DON'T USE THE BOOM TO PUSH ANYTHING!!!
