- As if I am not getting enough bad luck. I might have a metatarsal stress fracture. Yes ladies and gentlerats, I BROKE my foot doing NORMAL things.

View full threadUnfortunately it's not a case for discrimination. My friend had this exact thing happen to him a few years ago when he got ina car crash the first week of his new job and was hospitalized They let him go via probationary period clause: they can let employees go for ANY reason in the first 90 days.
- He tried to appeal it as unfair but his lawyer said they don't have a case due to this probation period thing.
- Are you able to brace and support it in any way?
- I have some canes my family has collected over the years but that's it...a pair of crutches is only like $30 on Amazon though so I might get some because only crutches can actually keep you OFF the foot.
- This is the absolute WORST thing to have happen right as I get a new job. This is the kind of thing that makes employers let you go because you can't perform certain duties 😭😭😭 WHY DOES THIS STUFF HAPPEN TO ME
- I have a week and a half before my job formally begins. If I completely stay off this foot til then, I might be able to fake it til I make it during my shifts. I cannot afford to lose this job. I don't think I can get another one after trying for so many months with no luck.
- For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

- Yeah i use DDG too and it's basically a case of "at least it's not Google" I often spend just as much time sifting through crappy results like AI images when looking for photos of animals for art refs, but at least those results aren't ads/sponsored I guess...
- So just today I was searching for a painting by Charles E Burchfield. I couldn't find that exact painting on Google images, and half the results were Midjourney generations using his name in the prompt. 🤮 I finally went directly to a museum site and found it there.
- Nice draws today
