Today I got to work at 1:40 pm. My Saturday schedule is 2-7 pm. My work decided that they would change my schedule without letting me know. They scheduled me in at 1 pm. This meant that I was 40 minutes late. Boy was I upset. My work told me that they would let me know if they changed my schedule. They did not let me know. They tried to say that it was my fault. Yes, I am responsible to be to work on time, but when that time has been changed and no one bothered to tell the blind massage therapist. Who can not see the schedule very well. I would say that makes me a bit frustrated. I would like to see, but I can’t. At least not very well. So, now I have to ask booking each day what I work the following day. Booking is a busy room and I don’t like going there. Some people make me feel like a big inconvenience. So, I will ask them every day and if they have a problem with it they will just have to deal with it. It just stinks because this makes me take another step more than everyone else. I am always having to go around the long way for everything. I don’t get a break. I am tired of this blind crap. Being blind isn’t so bad if I did not have to deal with other people’s ideas about what I must be.
I am either a super woman or a poor little thing who can’t possibly take care of myself. I am a super woman, but not because I am blind. I am because I do my best at life. Yes and on some days I may need help but who doesn’t. People also think that my husband is the greatest man on earth because he sacrificed himself to be with me. Good grief! I take care of my husband, like most husbands he needs help with almost everything. Not that he doesn’t help me, but I am just ranting here so don’t mind me. Cullen has been very helpful lately and I love him. I am happy with him. I am not complaining about him. I am just explaining what frustrates me about some people.
I think I should just stop ranting now, before I make everyone think I am bitter because I am blind. On a positive note I don’t have to look at these frustrating people (sorry blind humor).
Now I am going to read some blogs and read some of my book to clear my head of this mess.

Oh Angeal! I am sorry that work is being stupid about your schedule and making extra things foryou to have to do. People really can be insensitive to one another can't they? Regardless of disabilities or no disabilites!
"On a positive note I don’t have to look at these frustrating people (sorry blind humor)." THis cracked me up! I was thinking it right as I read it. I think anyone who has or deals with disabilites of any kind develops a quirky, sarcastic sense of humor about certain things; you almost have to!
Enjoy the rest of your evening and don't give work another thought!
People can be so stupid sometimes. The fact that you can laugh about it all is good. Enjoy your evening. Good chocolate always helps!
Sorry to hear of your frustration, especialy one that could have been so easily avoided.
You have never come across bitter, far from it infact. Rant all you want!
Well at least you have your sense of humour. Sorry it's been so frustrating.
what're you reading?
I don't agree with what happened to your about your word schedule - I think they should have been more helpful and more reasonable. Sometimes, people are not considerate and sometimes they are rude and mean - I'm sorry that happened to you!! I think you handle your situation amazingly and I have NO doubt that you take care of your husband as much or more than he takes care of you! See you soon, Angela - Kellan
You have every right to be mad about the schedule at work!
And people saying Cullen "sacrificed himself for you!" I can't believe anyone would say that. They ought to be saying he is so lucky to have a great wife!
I am sorry you had such a rough day. It is so wrong on so many different levels for people to assume your husband sacrificed himself to be with you. It is called love. He obviously has a lot of it for you as well you for him. I hope your days start to get better and as for going down to booking, I don't agree. Someone should have told you.
I tagged you if you'd like to play along.
Rant, rant, rant away!
Not to be bitchy, but I hope you're keeping track of stuff like this.
Sending you all my best wishes!
