I have always had a phobia of pipes, example: pipes in a basement that are openly exposed, pipes that stick out of walls, furnace room, or a boiler room, etc. I can go into a basement that is furnished or doesn't have pipes sticking out.
The problem is when I apply for a job I tell them straight I can't work around pipes. Last year, I got a job through NAF (Non-Appropriate Funds working for Military lodging. On my application and interview I informed them about my fear of pipes and asked if I was going to be working near them. They said no, a few months later since I couldn't go into a room that had pipes in it, I was fired.
Now recently, I wanted to open a home daycare on Military base, I wanted to have 24/7 care, to help the Military members out that needed care around the clock. I almost didn't get approved since the Family Advocacy guy put this in my medical records: member wants to have daycare but has some phobia's which could interfere with daycare requirements. Member has intense fears associated with basements. She would do better in a CDC enviorment with Staff Support.
I think that is Discrimination, I have a handicap around pipes. I have no problems with basements. Ever since he put that info in my medical records, I will never be able to get a job on any Military Base. He ruined my life. Another thing is I am not able to have 24/7 care and take infants like I wanted to. They are only allowing me to take 3 children ages 3-8 years old. I don;t think it is fair.
