Zen, I know you probably don't want to take more medicine or supplements but I highly recommend taking D-Mannose for UTIs. It's the active ingredient in cranberry juice that helps prevent/treat UTIs. You get the benefit without having to drink the cranberry juice.
And since cranberry juice is very acidic it can also cause problems with heartburn and cause pain in senstive bladders. So the D-Mannose eliminates the acid issue.
Andi, sorry you are dealing with crappy management and scheduling issues.
My company is either doing a temproary or permanent change to the scheduling (I've heard conflicting things) normally the schedule is out for the current week, by Saturday it's out for the next week and they have the following week written but not posted.
Only, either this week or from now on we're getting our scheduling 3 days in advacne. So instead of next week's schedule already being out it'll come out Thursday. Someone said it's to reduce shift trade requests, but if you're giving people basically 1 full business day notice about their schedule then you'll probably have more shift change requests. They havent' said when it's going to be posted online and it usually takes a full 24 hours for the whole shchedule to show up online. And someone said they thought everyone's schedule was going to be made on the district level, which makes no sense whatsoever, because the district can't know all the little details.
Although soemone who works here evidentally doesn't know them either becuase Wednesday they have 1 person closing for invenotry and she doesn't know how to do any of the closing stuff.
On the other hand I made it through work and had mostly real food and my mouth only hurts a little.
