I started an on-site job 6 weeks ago. I really like it and I am more than qualified for the position. I have learned fast and gotten rave feedback. They have invested over $20,000 on courses to help get me prepared for certification, which would lead to a raise and promotion.

I have lupus and I haven't worked on-site in over a decade.

Week 3, I started to lose steam physically, but carried on okay.

Week 4, I overslept due to fatigue on Wednesday and was late.

Week 5, it happened again, on Tuesday.

My boss hugged me and told me not to worry. She suggested I get an ADA accommodation to allow for things like that. At this point, I blamed it on medication and did not disclose that I have lupus.

Week 6, I was okay all week until Thursday. I hit the wall, hard. My judgy and extremely nosey co-worker was all in my business nearly demanding to know what was wrong. I wasn't ready to disclose my medical situation to her. I ended up leaving early.

I sent an email to my supervisors that I was unwell and needed to leave. I just grabbed my bag and speed walked to the elevator.

My boss was out of office, but she texted me on Friday. At this point, I disclosed my lupus and requested to go remote. There is no part of my position that requires me to be there, and they have several remote and hybrid employees.

She responded that since she is out of office, she would get with her manager (HR Manager) and we would "circle back" on Monday.

I am a coward and I do not want to go into the office Monday. I know eyes will be on me, especially from the nosey coworker. I keep asking myself: Will they approve my location change? Will they offer hybrid?

Will they just fire me?

I'm hoping that they wouldn't fire me the very next business day after learning of my illness. I am so anxious about facing my poor attendance and accommodation request. I am also anxious about facing nosey. She is...intense.

I like this job. I'm good at it and it pays well. I really want this to work out!

This was mostly just a vent, but I am open to advice!

I'm just outside of Cincinnati near Kings Island and Lebanon.

I'm looking for reputable shop(s) to have my car repaired and painted.

It's a 2001 Toyota Echo, and I need a diagnostic for the engine trouble, and an estimate. I also need an estimate for the paint job.

I appreciate any help!
