my doctor (whom i work with) & supervisor sent me home early today from work & doc told me to stay home from work tonight. they saw how sick i was...and exhausted. i'm at home. doc gave me some medicine. i'm just resting. feel ok. i've been off my regular routine since i broke my elbow. i've worked there 8 years and it's NEVER been like this, so i'm hopeful it will come to an end soon. Pascale, no, it's NOT illegal. Actually kemal quit a job repairing computers because they were forcing them to work 70 hours a week. In Kentucky, they can fire you for ANY reason (unless you're in the Union). you don't like the hours, etc., you're just sh-t out-o-luck. mike, i dunno what i want to be either. i'll be a mental patient too. Tedz, bring out straightjackets pleeeze! andreas...you got it made!
