wtf f.
she brought in all the necessary paperwork. doc says she is almost under control, is showing progress w her meds, takes them as directed.
she said she is absolutely able to work the job, as she has shown in the last 6 months. she is their top seller. they were about to toss her a raise. and maybe a job at a new store they are opening closer to home.

she was given a few simple accommodations, like not switching her shifts around and otherwise messing w her sleep. nothing unreasonable.

the owner apparently tried to contact her doctor without consent.

she is lawyering up, but also looking hard at a job.
there are a couple good opportunities a lot closer to home.
there is a new trader joes, and there is a french bakery where she could polish her french chops.

as to other questions, she is on ssi, not enough years for ssdi.
she does pay rent. she gets a small discount, but that's it. still within market norms.

she is 21.

this sucks.

on the plus side, tho. she wants to get a drawing certificate from the art institute, and we are taking her first class together. i already have a graphic design cert, but i had a half a mind to get another one. drawing in an almost completely different set of classes.
we werent talking for a while, so this is the awesome.
