I am obviously in desperate need of some counseling based on the threads I've posted. I took the time to schedule myself an appointment. They were booked solid for 3 weeks. I got an appointment 3 weeks out and put in the absence and make up slip at work on the day I made the appointment. Today is the day I am supposed to go. MY LAZY boss never even approved the absence. I can't even go to my counseling appointment now because she is too busy looking up celebrity gossip while she is supposed to be working. All she had to do was open the e-mail and click yes or no. I mean she has time to approve her own nail appointments during work. I am trying to better myself. This appointment was very important. I'm trying to take everything lately as a sign as not to get discouraged. I mean is this a sign that I am not supposed to go to counseling? Can I find the help I need in myself?

Just needed to vent. thanks

And even if she knows you had appt that day say you were so sick but couldnt possibly cancel and reschedule again because it is important for you, and you know this because you discussed with your doctor, use your immagination or say the receptionist was not impressed but you told her you will definately go even though you were that sick ....... or well just use your logical immagination.as i say thats what i do, my thoughts, but maybe u need to discuss with a friend or a few friends and see what they say.

Oh as bad as it is to say, I am a pretty good story maker. lol growring up we always got the 75th degree from my mom. So I got pretty good at approaching situations from all angles. Answer all the questions they'd ask before I talk to them. That way no one catches me off guard. lol Too bad I have morals or I'd make a great lawyer. JK

I feel better about it today. i'm just going to schedule my next appointment in the morning and tell work to deal with it. Most people won't take the morning appointments anyway. So, it should be easier to get. I have a bunch of appointments to get my wisdom teeth pulled. I know I won't miss those because 4 grand to have braces for 2 years is worth getting chewed out for leaving. I follow all the company procedures on how to request time off and what not. i do it and they don't approve than they can kiss my ass! lol :]

Hey Hollie, I feel you! I was an office manager/ accounting assistant/ administrative assistant, so I know what it's like when people don't respond to your emails or even your PHONE CALLS.

If I was in your shoes, (if this happens again) go to HR and say that you have an appointment. If they ask why, just say that she doesn't respond to your emails and that it was an important appointment.

If they say, basically, "Screw you", suck it up and reschedule. And when you send another email, put a flag on it (if you have Outlook).

That's all I can offer.

As for the age thing; I'm 19, but just because I'm young doesn't mean I have "anger issues." God, I hate when people throw that around, but what can you do, right?:crying:

Hope everything works out!

I don't act 18 though. i've been working in the mortgage business since I was 15. I forced myself to grow up young. So i don't take offense. I am aware of how to let go lol. but we should be friends because I don't know any young people who have the band
