What contract clause did I miss? I was under the impression that menopause ‘could’ last up to 10 years…which is bad enough, believe me. As my mother did, I also started young, around 43 years old…so I technically have one year left on this 10-year clause.
Oh, but wait…now I’m told this could LAST FOREVER. Say what? Sorry, what was that?! It took a good two years just to regulate my body to a ‘somewhat acceptable’ temperature, through the tweaking of different medications…and yet….I’m still living in puddles of sweat day in and day out…
So who do I see about changing this clause? I must have signed it under duress. Surely no sane person would sign such a document…sure it’s great that I don’t have menstrual cycles every month anymore…but was that the tradeoff? If so, I’ll gladly go back to that…’No’ you say?
Hmmm…is there any other thing I can trade? Let me speak to the manager. Crickets. Oh, so there’s no manager. OK. Perhaps a new trainee who doesn’t yet know all the rules and they can sneak my name on a list to make all this disappear? More crickets.
Maybe the crickets are the managers and I just don’t speak their language? Any crickets out there that can find me a loophole? I must google this…I’ll get back to you…
