Today, I got sent home from work for appearing stoned/under the influence of drugs. I suffer from severe hay fever, which no antihistamine has fixed yet, hence the red and glassy eyes. FML

Seriously, tell them it's hayfever, and they can have you tested if they want, if you're innocent? Not difficult. YDI for not standing up for yourself.

That's terrible!! I get terrible hayfever, and on some days it's a wonder that I can even walk straight :S If antihistamines don't work, perhaps try talking to your doctor about desensitisation injections? They work like a charm :) Heck, I can actually walk outside during springtime!

I completely sympathise. And the medication makes me dopey. I was known as "mushrooms" at my old work due to hayfever. Hope you still got paid.

smokin a bowl or two would probably help that hayfever situation out...either that or make u forget about the whole bad day at work.

Demand a drug test! Don't go all lawsuit crazy unless they fire you, but have the company pay for a drug test so you can prove you are not a druggie, unless you are a druggie, then you just have to play it cool.

Suddenly, I am so, so thankful that my bosses and co-workers acknowledged my allergies and realized that no, I'm not taking illegal narcotics. I didn't even get fussed at when I was still on Zyrtec and was basically a zombie.

Americans with Disability Act. 'nuff said.

Is not reading the location of an FML a disability? If so, you're in luck.
