Once more, with feeling - an interview tomorrow at 10:00am
My boss is an idiot. I fell Friday night, broke my arm and cracked my head. It happened on the premises and under Ohio Workers' Comp laws, I'm covered. He was notified on Saturday. He joked about it with me on Monday. Yesterday morning, after doing a search, I realized that he doesn't appear to have an active account with WC, unless there's something I don't know about the WC system here in this state. (I've been an accountant here for 12 years)

The billing department at the emergency clinic where I was seen cannot find anything on him either. So the billing rep calls him. "Someone was hurt? Who? I've never had a claim. I'm not sure who it should go to." He says. :wow:

Damn good thing a good friend is a WC attorney and can chew this guy up and spit him out.

In the meantime, I was the only canditate selected to be interviewed tomorrow at 10:00. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. If this doesn't work, it's very, very likely that I'll pack it in and leave Ohio. I cannot do this anymore. I'm beyond exhausted. And my arm hurts. :(

Thanks. :hug:

2. It's gonna work.
It will. And after this, I'll bet your boss'll keep his WC current. This is gonna cost him an arm and a leg.

It'll be okay. It really will. You'll see and then I'll be able to say ITYS.

15. I don't think it's you.

The workplace is full of jerks, bullies, and assholes.

I think it's worse these days than it's ever been.

And of course, in a place where the boss is a jerk, bully, or asshole, there are more likely to be job openings there than in a place where there's a good boss.

It ain't you!

It feels as though I'm a magnet for these types. The world *is* getting uglier, isn't it?

6. You got it, lizzie!
Have a great interview tomorrow.

And when you've done that well, you can focus your energy on healing your body. I hope the pain subsides.

10. Good thoughts and vibes
For your interview and for your arm. I have broken my left arm six times so I know how you feel. In fact, my left wrist is aching in sympathy right now.

11. Six times??
:wow:

Mine's a fracture at the elbow, so the swelling is a problem, as is no feeling in most of my fingers.

Thank you for the wishes AND the sympathy.

Though they haven't seemed to have helped much so far - maybe I should stay out of this one? ;)

28. You definitely have the very best of my thoughts, prayers, best wishes, good luck
and positive vibes:loveya: :loveya: All the best for tomorrow's interview and I know that you have a great future ahead of you. You have too much on your plate at the moment and I hope the burden eases for you very soon :hug: Try and get some good quality rest (easier said than done I know) and take care of your arm. I had my leg in a cast for five months so I know something of what you're going through and that it is not pleasant

Take care of yourself Lizziegrace. You already were in my thoughts but I'll keep you in my prayers as well:hug:

43. I'm so glad you have a WC attorney.
I do voc services for WC folks, and I've had a few run-ins with idiot employers who have lied to their workers, and told them that they have to get the work injury treated under their private insurance (and other unsavory things).

If Ohio requires employers to carry WC insurance on their workers, then your employer is in a shit-load of trouble.

I will send boatloads of good vibes and healing thoughts to you, lizzie, that you may heal soon, that the employer be made to pay for your injuries, AND most especially, that you impress the hell out of the people with whom you are interviewing tomorrow.

:hug: :hug: :hug: :loveya:
