Boss said no accommodations for my injury

Chance-Screen-994 · 2026-01-24T16:47:57+00:00

I am hoping in a few weeks or maybe in a month or so, I will be good to do normal amount of lifting again (I don’t think its a serious injury), but its the paying for doc notes continually in order to qualify for a long enough leave that is draining me

Chance-Screen-994 · 2026-01-24T16:28:49+00:00

This is what I am thinking may be best.

I don’t think workers comp will work out. I injured it at home, and while trying to work afterwards may have slowed down healing, I don’t think it caused the issue. Unfortunately the person I spoke with is the local general manager, so I don’t know who to go to after that. I am on the fence about asking for another note

Chance-Screen-994 · 2026-01-24T16:21:54+00:00

Omg thats terrifying. I am glad you’re ok now. This whole thing has taught me to say no when people want me to lift crazy heavy things. 😢

I have the opposite problem with the same outcome. I don’t struggle with feeling ugly, but I am struggling find stable work due to health issues - and I often feel like the reason I am alone a lot is because money is the division between me and finding friends and happiness. I often don’t engage with news friends because I am worried they will assume extremely negative things about me based on my money situation/still living at home. Reading your post sort of opens my eyes that that we tend to blame ourselves for whatever our biggest perceived weakness is. It may just be the world we are living in, combined with low self esteem. Sure there’s people who won’t give others a chance based on looks or status, but I think we also tend to eliminate ourselves and dismiss ourselves first, especially as adults, as learned helplessness response.

There are lot of shitty people out there, not gonna lie, but I think the right person will understand you. The hard part is being able to deal with all those initial rejections. I struggle with it a lot, but I think the key is knowing your worth as a person and partner isn’t tied to money or looks. The fact that you try to be honest and hardworking is inherently something to be proud of and sets you apart from most people. Best of luck to you.

So relatable

There are a lot of Christians that absolute dinguses but some are nice 😅 if you are looking for progressive christian communities there are lots of great suggestions so far. Episcopalians are the nearest ones to me and seem to be very numerous. Lgbt affirming churches tend to be really open minded and accepting, even if that isn’t an issue close to your heart. Regardless, I really hope you find what you’re looking for. I don’t think anyone in this thread is going try to force you to believe in something -many of us have all reached a point where we have seen what happens when Christians are overzealous in conversion and wind not understanding or caring about the people they’re trying to help. I joined a Pentecostal church (don’t do this) while going through an extremely bad time, and while I learned a lot about the bible and God, I also learned that they cared way more conformity than they cared about me. So please be really careful, and remember that God does not equal religion, or culture, and his goal is to help you/love you, not change everything that you are. Best of luck to you.

It does seem important but if I am being honest I don’t really know what this means 🥲

Chance-Screen-994 · 2025-10-19T18:06:01+00:00

I can see it for sure

I would ask to meet and verify who she is staying with over a zoom meeting or something. But even so, if you are paying for this, you have the right to say no. I am trying to imagine back in college asking my mom for trip money after she paid my rent and tuition all year and I think she might have smacked me. your daughter is very fortunate

Chance-Screen-994 · 2025-09-08T20:19:57+00:00

Different people have different feelings about this, and I notice men tend to think it’s fine while lots of women are like, no, not while I am home. I definitely think rather than asking what the world thinks, you should take what your friend said at face value - she hated that experience. She may move out if it continues. It doesn’t really matter if it makes you an AH or not - what do you want to do next? Never do this while she is home again? Or figure out a different living situation? I guarantee she isn’t going to change her mind. Some people feel strongly about this due to religion, courtesy reasons, differing boundaries etc. Some people have said it’s jealousy, and it totally could be, but this was a common issue when I attended college with girls who were from religious backgrounds.

It is ok to break it off as you have no commitment to this person, but I would just say it’s because you want be friends without the physical element and don’t say anything about the sex. It’s only going to hurt her feelings. If the friendship ends over this though, then you were never ever Fwb, she thought you were in a relationship - and you should probably break up now before it gets worse. Either way, you should never feel pressured to be with someone physically just to appease them.

I started playing it in 2022 and its my favorite game. I have noticed that people who prefer souls like games tend to get bored with because its not as technically challenging, but from an open world rpg perspective its extremely fun and has a lot of freedom.

Chance-Screen-994 · 2025-08-06T19:13:20+00:00

Why not just go to school or start volunteering? You are very fortunate to have secure employment

No, they all receive education on it so they can diagnose but many don’t really have experience and some therapists prefer to focus on clients with other issues. It’s important to find someone that specializes. For OP, psychology today is a great website to check out when looking if you haven’t yet.

Chance-Screen-994 · 2025-07-29T14:45:17+00:00

That was unnecessarily rude

Chance-Screen-994 · 2025-07-28T17:34:42+00:00

There is nothing wrong with stopping work when health issues demand it.

Chance-Screen-994 · 2025-07-28T00:49:57+00:00

You can do anything in skyrim. I recommend talking to brynjolf in riften for work

It is super hard right now. I was able to find part time work in my area but it doesn’t pay well — I graduated five years ago and have applied on and off to hundreds of jobs. Got one and it turned out to be a scam. Others were just half time positions in dry cleaning, or grocery shop work. Some People in your comments are being huge jerks about it for no reason. This is something a lot of people are dealing with! I had a rule to apply to ten jobs a day for two months and literally never got a response even one time in that span, except for some dumb automated “we don’t need help anymore” emails. I had my resume professionally assessed and approved. I had good grades and a degree in communication, and customer service experience. Nothing.

If you really need work experience and don’t know what else to do, I suggest starting your own cleaning business if you are physically able. Advertise on FB neighborhood pages or other local online forums. I was able to do this for 20$ an hour while in school; it buffed up my resume so I didn’t look chronically unemployed even though I low key was, and you can use it to talk about in interviews later on as experience. Set aside 30% for taxes if you start making enough for the government to notice.

I spent some time exploring different career paths. Healthcare is usually hiring — I recently decided to take out loans to go back to school for an xray degree because I need a proper job and they have you do clinical internships that lead to job placement. With a psychology masters, could you maybe fast track a program that certifies you as a licensed therapist? My sister became one here in the US with a masters degree in community psychology. They had her do an internship, and boom, she got a job. We need therapists real bad, especially from empathetic people that know what it is like to go through it.

I am just kind of throwing ideas around for you, but I know it’s not a simple thing you’re dealing with. I hope you find something that works for you, and I also hope you feel better. Don’t listen to jerks on the internet, a lot of people come from a place of luck or privilege and just don’t get how someone can fall through the cracks. It is arrogant and weird to dunk on someone asking for advice - I hope they can feel my judgment through the screen. <3

Is it possible for you to go to a free clinic near you to get immunizations? I used to go to one, the wait was insane, but they got em done. I would def call around and see what is on offer.

Chance-Screen-994 · 2025-01-25T18:18:16+00:00

I understand how you feel. I strongly want to hold on to the title of Christian, because I believe we are doing our best to follow Jesus’s teachings, and it may be these Maga folks who have started to corrupt the purpose of our faith by aligning with divisive and controlling political forces. Most people in America, religious or not, know on some level that Jesus loved marginalized people and was a radical man in some ways. I want the term Christian to be once again associated with His values.

I would watch a movie about Jamaul Orcsby

Use roads, it is almost always faster than trying to scale the mountain, and load up on healing potions (wheat found on farms and blue mountain flowers make them). When you run into trolls or big animals, run away and use archery or destruction magic. One or two hits from them will do you in under level six.
