Hey all, OK..so at my new job I have been busting my A** trying to
do well and make a good impression. I teach kids. Well, last week
my principal called me into her office to talk to me about a
personal matter. Turns out that some one actually had the nerve to
go tell her I was "throwing up" in the bathroom everyday.
I was baffled and confused and I told her that they probably heard
me coughing in the bathroom. I explained that I have asthma
like symptoms (didn't want her to know about the CF just yet)
because of my respiratory issue. I explained that I sometimes have
coughing fits and I don't like to have them in front of other
people or the students, because I don't want to scare them and it's
embarrassing. I said I would get a docs. note if she wanted
me to to prove that I have this issue and she said no, that it was
ok and she just wanted to make sure I was ok and it there were any
issue that I needed help with. I said no and I understood how
someone might think because of my thinness and coughing in the
bathroom that I might have an eating disorder. BUT I told her if
they had taken the time to walk into the bathroom they would have
seen me coughing and not inside a stall throwing up. I usually
don't even go into the stall. <br>
<br>
<br>
Why on earth did this POS person go to my boss with such an
accusation and not to me first! ugghhh...anyone ever had this
problem? Do you tell your boss about the CF. I have always been
warned not to, since they might think that I am not capable of
meeting the demands of the job or view me as the "teacher with
CF" or whatever. I know they cannot specify my disease
is the reason for termination, but it can always be hidden. They
can say I didn't do well as a teacher. I don't want to do
anything to jeopardize being asked next year (I am on a one- year
contract). I cant' have people be thinking this because I as a
teacher I am a role model for kids.<br>
<br>
<br>
I am so tired of dealing with the BS this disease causes me! As if
just living with it and trying to stay alive isn't enough.
