I'm kind of angry right now and I'm not sure why. I havent eaten the best today. That could be one thing. I just had a few expired yogurts and some chips. But my mom expects me to go back to work and still be able to get the time off to go out of state for Thanksgiving. And she's not understanding that in retail that is very hard to do and they wont just make exceptions. Even in grocery they are often open until 5PM on Thanksgiving. But my mom doesnt get this and is saying "well maybe at this job..." no. Any retail or grocery store, which is all I have expirence in rarely allows any time off between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I just happened to work with a rare company before that allowed that. But its really annoying that my mom thinks companies are going to make special accomadations for me because I'm on social secuirty and can only work 20 hours a week and I don't drive myself so I cant like work super late at night. Most employers I've been with are actually turned off by these requests instead of accomdating. Again, my mom doesnt understand any of this.

I had to have my last job fill out some paperwork for SS. SS needed it. I gave it to the most understanding manager. When the new schedule came out my hours had been cut from 4-5 days a week, down to 2 days, and it stayed at 2 days. I asked him why my hours were cut. He smiled and said "I have a budget too." Ok whatever that means asshole.

Thats why they in general tell you not to bring up your disabilty at work unless you legit need accomadations.

Edit: feel better now after eating a little microwave cup of Campbells double noodle soup and drinking a pitcher of Lipton decaf cold brew. My headache is gone too.
