Energy... It's Bringing Me Down

I think the Wellbutrin may be working - I have more energy (at least, I think that's what this antsy, restless sensation is). But there's still nothing to do with it, and the things I want to do I have no time to do them.
All I know is that I will be relieved when the system change is finally implemented. I've got a management class in the morning, which I shouldn't even have to attend because, well, I'm not management. But they cover night audit in the management class, yipdefuckingdoo. Then a reports class on Wednesday morning, which I do need. They've told the relief auditor that they're having me work on launch night, but they haven't said one single word to me about it, and I'm wondering what they can do if I say no.
Speaking of my relief person, she came to work last night w/photos of her 10-year old son, beaten black & blue. Everyone told her to go home & call the cops & CPS. If I had been there when she had done it, I would have called then & there. Why wasn't the kid in the ER? Why did she feel it necessary to show everyone in the vicinity photos of her kid's naked butt? She had already gone home by the time I got to work, and I know from experience that CPS is just as likely to go after someone for fraudulent reports as they are truly troubled families. I didn't see the photos & I don't know where this woman lives, so my hands were a bit tied in that circumstance.
Not trying to downplay the seriousness of child abuse, I'm starting to wonder if this woman has something similar to Munchausen's, because there is always something wrong with her or her kids, or a combination of illness & family drama. She has some kind of cancer in her back, now she has brain tumor(s) - sometimes it's one brain tumor, sometimes more. It tends to fluctuate depending on how badly she wants to leave work. It's kind of like Klinger on M.A.S.H., only without the cross-dressing. We've got an older woman on dayshift who acts the exact same way, only she's always sick & it's always illness for her daughter. When I first went to work at the casino, the daughter was a little girl, and is now a teenager who is still prone to things like ear infections, chicken pox, tonsillitis, etc. In other words, childhood illnesses that a 15-year old would have grown out of by now.
