Hello again!
I haven't had as much response to my original query, but
there have been some interesting issues raised
One person said that he/she saw no reason for an employer
not to hire me, as long as I didn't miss more than the typical
10 days a year due to illness. Unfortunately, I am sick a lot
more often than that; basically every little bug that goes
through Reed College gets me, and I usually stay sick for a
longer time. I think this is connected with my diabetes, because
since I moved off campus and stsrted taking better care of myself
(i.e. with regards to diet), I have been sick a lot less. But
I still get knocked out for long periods of time. THhere isn't
a lot I can do about this, except go to bed immediately when
I get sick. Am I doomed in the employment market because of
this? I'd say that 20 sick days a year would be my minimum.
Any ideas should be sent to tektronix!reed!thoma.
Thanks,
Ann Muir Thomas
