I was fired for attendance reasons. In August of 2002, I was in an auto accident where I was pinned between two cars thanks to a drunk driver, and received minor head injuries as well as damage to my legs. I'm arthritic at the age of 21. Because of this, I also have epilepsy, which makes life plenty fun. The constant fear of a seizure, mornings where you do not feel up to going out and driving because you fear that you'll have a seizure behind the wheel. Take this, throw in court dates and doctor's appointments and you can see why I would have attendance issues. My employer felt that it would be best to fire me before I was able to turn in my FMLA papers. (FMLA - Family Medical Leave Act - to protect those with illness/disability from losing their jobs). I rather enjoy the classiness of being let go after working thanksgiving. I would not have thought of doing that to someone, but what can I say.
