Carolyn, those are good questions. I don't know how I would decide, either.
I am not on disability, have a job, but have had a bad attendance and punctuality record. I'm home today, just couldn't get going, even tho I was up and out of bed early enough. Today, I am having fantasies of taking a leave of absence. But I don't think I am covered by disabilite ins. yet--too new on the job. And a leave of absence with no income would be a major problem, as I have no savings. But I feel my employer must be getting to the end of their patience with me. I have been doing a shoddy job, and am very behind in my work, partly due to absences and arriving late, but also because I am not very productive. My organizational skills have never been great, but they have gone totally to pot. I just get overwhelmed so easily. I feel like I want to tell my boss if she is thinking of firing me, it would be ok, because I deserve it, doing such a shoddy job.
The thing is, I dont know what being out of work would do for me. I don't think it would be good. Maybe I need to do a part time job with no tasks that are challenging to my organizational skills. I still don't think that would be good. I don't know.
Obviously I am in a terrible mood right now. Maybe my thoughts won't seem so bleak later.
