Ok, this has to be on the top of the list of excuses not to come to work. My sister works for a large university. One of her part-time professors cannot work for the first two weeks of the semister. Reason??? BII...Body Image Issues. Yes, she cannot appear to teach a bunch of college students who are probably just rolling out of bed to get to class because she needs surgery to correct one of her BII's. I was wondering if I could get paid for 6 months to take care of my BII's. I wonder if it's recognized by the American Board of Psychology as a real and debilitating illness. |

Maybe her body image problem became overwhelming so she just couldn't face a class of college kids. Who knows? I am sure she's a real nut case. I wonder how many times she's had plastic surgery???? |
