Take this job and shove it

My son in the army finally called me. He told he had his cell phone taken away so he couldnt call and let me know he was alive. He is on a 16 hour bus ride from Missouri to Missippi for his ATI. He called a couple of times today. He will be there for 7 weeks and have to go back to Missouri for 2 weeks then home. He should be done right around April sometime. I just hope everything goes well. I been having some real anxiety about my job. I guess since my workmens comp attorney called and said he needs this and that paper from my doctor I have been stressing about returning to work. I like what I do but I hate who I work for. The people are just back biting. For example if you are not in the right crowd you get shafted rather easily. One of my supervisors called when I was in the hospital asking all kinds of questions. I thought its because they are going to send a fruit basket because thats what they usually do for everyone. Well it wasnt for that. They called the workemens comp office to tell them I had a surgery that is not workmens comp related and if I have to stay out longer they are just not going to pay me for that. I know my surgery I just had was not workmens comp related but I am still out on workmens comp due to the nasty fall I had that blew out several ligaments in my knees. Anyhow thats why my attorney called to tell me to ask my workmens comp doctor to write a letter telling workmens comp as to why I have been out for so long. I called the doctor and he said he would do it when I come for my next visit on valentines day. I may not get paid for those 2 weeks but it doesnt matter. What matters is that I really dont want to ever go back. They have police officer supervisors in almost every division in the department except mine. Mine is cilvilian and they are nothing but playing the favorites assholes. They have nothing good to say and they almost have nothing but negative stuff to say. I never fit in only because I was almost always treated like crap from the get go. I had to learn things on my own and made errors along the way. They are that way with anyone who looks half way attractive. I dont know why they do stuff like that but its true. I have been working there 14 years and because I never dated a police officer until I met my husband I got branded. Funny if I did I would have been branded too. You cant win. The whole department is starting to get that way. Its who know and who you blow. I soooooo dont want to go back but I have to even if its for a short while. That place makes me really unhappy. I used to like it but not anymore. The only good thing that has happened to me there was I met my husband and get paid. I just find myself getting so depressed and unhappy thinking about that place. I try not to but its always there and because I have been thinking so much about it ..I am starting to dream about the place. I wish our house on the big island was finished already so I could just quit.

I know I need to quit but W is giving me a rash about it. He wants me to go back even if its for a week and go out again and get my hand done which I have been putting off. I injured it a while back on duty and am suppose to have surgery for it but I hate the whole workmens comp game. It is so not me. I dont even like to go there and pick up my check.
