So the meeting was okay. The disability officer was lovely.

During the appointment we called the main coordinator for the course that was really being impacted. She wasn't particular nice and I got upset. She ranted on how everyone at the moment is trying to work from home (instead of field work) by saying they have the flu. Everything she said at the start of the conversation was making out I was trying to lie to her even though the disability officer was talking to her! You'd think that would show it was a legit situation but no.

After that the disability officer tried to get her off her rant about student's having the flu but then the coordinator was pressuring the officer to read out all my medical documentation to her over the phone. After she said she'd e-mail it, and not do it over the phone the coordinator pretty much said she won't discuss anything at all until I get letters from my pdoc and regular GP (even though i got one from my GP already). Sigh.

But we have a face to face meeting next week and the disability officer is going to come with me to prove to this woman that I am actually sick and trying to set up things to get the best project outcome; not cause I'm fricken lazy. ><

Even once we get through to her, she's going to be the one to discuss my situation with my field supervisor and that makes me uncomfortable. I rather the disability officer be involved but at the moment is sounds like the coordinator isn't thinking the officer needs a chance to speak to them. I really hate this course. ><
