Been awhile

So I've been mainly busy with work, sorting through financial business, packing up and getting ready for christmas. It's been kinda stressful but not too bad.

 

My only problem that I have right now is my work situation. My hands have gotten worse. It went from a small rash to now my hands are covered. I have been trying to take care of them but work makes it worse. Sweating burns like hell, and I wear gloves for about 6 hours and 30 mins everytime I work. I got hot easily so as soon as the gloves are on I'm already sweating. To top it off its hurting just to use my hands. Heck today I even burned my thumb right on the rash. That wasn't fun.

 

Here's what I'm talking about though.

That's just the left hand, the right is even more covered. What sucks is I'm still too new to move around the store plus I don't have the training to do anything but deli. One manager told me I had to wait 90 days before I could even think about it. That's two more months of this just getting worse.

 

And I know of two causes. The sanitizer spray that we use to clean everything and the juices from the meat cause it to get worse. I can't just up and quit my job..I seriously need it. And I can't go to a doctor because the bill would be ridiculous since I have zero health insurance.

 

So needless to say I'm in some pain. But this isn't new pain. I've had eczema on the back and sides of my knees before..took 10 years to get rid of it. I am still trying to help the spot on the crease on my right elbow that has it as well. So it's nothing too new just a new area.

 

I'm thinking on my next two days off I'm going to get my resume ready, take a typing test and apply for the jail office jobs down here. It'll be more pay and set hours plus decent insurance. It'll take awhile before I will hear anything from them but that's all I can do right now. I've tried before and it didn't work but I'll keep trying.

 

On a side note..that dang deli needs to be shut down for some serious cleaning. We have an ant problem, I've seen a roach and grease is caked onto everything. I know grease is hard to deal with but if you clean things right every night it won't be a problem.

 

Like hell the other night I wanted donuts. So I go to the bakery and was choosing a donut until I saw freaking ants all over each one. Like seriously please shut that store down for a week and let me clean it. Cause damn would things look nice and be bug free.

 

Though I did get lucky today. After having a few rude customers I found a walmart gift card on the bathroom floor. Had 5 bucks on it. Decided to keep it since I don't think there's a way to trace it to anyone without a receipt. So I got some bombass cookies with it XD.

 

Oh and in the night I've been building and building a private island on minecraft. I have the first island as my house and such with a garden, portal room, underwater basement, barn, mini store and aquarium. The next island is an amusement park. It has two rollar coasters, a boat ride, a ticket booth and a tiny cafe/picture place. The last island is pokemon themed. Has a pokeball hotel, mini safari, gym, poke mart, poke center, an elite four gym and a pokemon champion gym. Here's some pics.

I'm thinking my next island will be Harry potter themed. I'm gonna try to do the hogwarts castle.

It could be you have a heat rash that won't cure very easily. When you wash your hands, what do you use? Soap and water... what kind of soap? If it is a bar of soap, that could be the issue, many commercial soap cause extreme drying of the skin, look into soaps with a moisturizer and switch to something that does not have that drying effect.
 

Other things to consider are what kind of gloves do they make you wear? I mean what is the exact material? Is it latex, rubber, vinyl or something else? Did the rash start heavily when you started wearing them? The reason is you could have an allergy to them, you can solve this by switching to a different style. Also, if it is a head rash or the issue with a brand of soap, they could be agitating it. After you figure out the soap issue, make sure you are not allergic to the gloves and then keep changing them as often as you can so that sweat does not build up in them.

 

Other than that, the sanitation issues you mentioned just sound gross... yuck.. have you reported that? Those are serious health code violations and a number of people would like to be and should be aware of them.

I found out it is eczema since I have it on my arm too. I've had eczema for years it's just never showed up on my hands. I do change the gloves a lot and unless I bring my own soap I can't exactly change that. I brought it up to someone about the bugs and all they did is clean one area. So I guess I'll have to go over their head since they didn't really do anything about it.

 

Also crisco in old socks put on both hands for at least an hour a night helps. A pharmacist told me about that trick since the same thing happens to her.

 

And I can't change what gloves I wear or ill get in trouble. Walmart pretty much told me to suck it up. And that's why I'm finding an office job. I even got a strike because I got sick at work.
