All Breakdowned Out

There are times when my only answer to a situation is to get hysterical. This afternoon was one of those. I think I scared the worker's comp guy this afternoon, what with my screeching and wailing and borderline hollering about how utterly absurd and frustrating their approval process for a freaking orthotic splint is.

Fucking beauracracy. They have to have a separate middle man company shop around for the best price, even though in the end they will most likely go ahead and have my occupational therapists do it since they are in the damn worker's comp medical network. And for some reason, this process takes 3-4 days. In the meantime, I'm in a temporary splint that is not A) the most comfortable thing or B) most easy thing to work around. And I'm going back to work on Monday.

And don't even get me started on the whole going back to work thing. I feel like the new kid in school since my visit there yesterday revealed that a coworker/subordinate has been talking shit about me to cover for her own shortcomings. There are many, many things I could say here but I'm trying hard to let it go. My boss still loves me, the other senior admin seemed happy to hear I was coming back, and all will be right with the world as soon as I get back to my office. Doesn't mean I'm not still totally pissed off about the whole thing.

So tonight, it's comfort food and booze and spending money online. It's better than crying anymore, because I'm all breakdowned out.
