I kept blaming it on my 5 yr old - my MHNP last week asked me, "be honest who was more to blame for being late?" I told her --"me but no way I was going to tell my manager." I am out for at least 2 more weeks -- I will be requesting ADA accommodations at work -- and be requesting that my tardies be removed. In addition, I am a grad student and am on academic probation --I just started the process of requesting accommodations there too. What have I learned? When I return back to working in the social services field, I will wait until I have difficulty -- then if I do - you bet-- I am asking for accommodations---

I hope you'll let me know how it goes with requesting accommodations. Had I mentioned before that I am also in the social services field. I did receive accommodations as a grad student. I'm not sure it really helped, but it was nice to know that I had that extra support. I did wish I had made the request earlier in the program, but, live and learn. C'est ma vie, lol.
