[splutter]“)." My boss is like this, too. It's beyond frustrating. I've given up trying to explain that my pain and fatigue have NOTHING to do with my age. I've had fibromyalgia for nine years now (well, was *diagnosed* 9 years ago, I think I've had it a LOT longer - Probably since I was 11/12 or so), and if it weren't for my amazingly supportive two bestest friends, and for the last 4 years my awesome fiancee (we're getting married is 79 days!), I'd have killed someone by now... Well, maybe not - My best friend says I'm too pretty for prison, LOL. I'm fortunate that I can still work, but I've given up on the dream of ever getting a degree unless we can somehow afford for me not to work. I'm sorry if I'm rambling, I'm told Gemini's tend to do that. :) I just wanted to say that I completely understand where you're coming from. Have you heard of the website www.butyoudontlooksick.com? “And my bosses were jerks to boot (”I’m fifty years old, honey, I hurt too.” “…!!!! [splutter]“).”

Fuck you. I got up the energy to come out here and be sociable with you people and it hurts right now and it's going to hurt me even more later and you fuckers never see it and when I tell you I hate that you get so fucking <em>hurt</em>. Because what I need to put my very limited energy into is looking after your fucking brittle emotions about having your compliments taken as the demeaning bullshit they are.
