I have not been able to work in the office from hell since last week as they are paiting and I had a severe allergic reaction to the paint fumes. After the second visit to the doctor with a thorat so constricted I could barely get any air into my lungs, she wanted to direct admit me to the hospital. Needless to say, I am *not* being compensated salary-wise for any time I am being forced to miss because of their stupidity.
I did call OSHA, however, and because the office manager did not tell us prior to the start of the painting, "We will be painting the office and the paint may contain chemicals that could be hazardous to your health", they are in direct violation of OSHA regulations and I can file a complaint.
Which I will do as soon as I go in tomorrow to collect my computer speakers, my coffee mug and my photo of mom (can you tell I prepared for this a long time ago?) because I START A NEW JOB ON MONDAY!
I've been actively job-hunting without luck for over a year but I went on an intervview tonight and they hired me on the spot. A slight cut in pay but much better benefits (health, dental, life and long-term disability insurance, pension plan and bonuses), close to home, and two girls that used to work in the office from hell and quit have been there ever since.
So yeehaw for me and pblpblpbl to the idiots I used to work for. They are getting no notice and they don't deserve one.
A very happy and excited
