I feel sorry for Kelly. I have for some time. You are one of those people with an illness that impacts on so many aspects of your life, including employment.

I would hesitate to give you employment advice since you live in CA, we have not seen your employment agreement/application and we don't have all the details, oh, and we are not lawyers. The firm I work for handles employment matters. They are usually complicated and expensive to handle. They can drag on for years. Only a handful of people have positive outcomes. Most attorneys will not touch an employment problem unless it is for an executive making lots of dough, with a contract.

If I were to give you advice, I would suggest you find permanent homes for her kittens until you get your health and housing under control for at least a year. It falls in to the "can you really afford" these pets. They are expensive and to not have funds to take care of them, including Vet expenses, is downright frustrating.

Maybe you qualify for permanent disability via Social Security? Maybe you should work with a temporary agency, allowing you a little more flexibility with your schedule. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Kelly is the only one who can really help Kelly. All we can do is support you through your choices.

Living home with Mama is stressful enough and when you mix in the new rules of no cats here and there, it is just about impossible. Thanks for ?????? Oh well, there may be other factors involved in this housing/cat problem. Isn't your mom married - maybe step-dad, dad, whatever, has some reason for being so strict about the house rules?

The bottom line is that you need to get your health issues under control. Nothing will destory job prospects/employment more than being out sick the first few days.

(I hope Kelly reads this with interest and not insult. It is meant to give her another opinion and not one blaming the employer for her being sick.)

Kelly dearest, I wish you lived closer. I feel very sorry for you.
