work troubles

That's awful.  I'm not sure what province you live in, but in MB you could file a complaint about it, either with the Human Rights Commission or possibly the Labour Board - IF your employer refuses to accommodate you. 

I remember playing on a work ball team one year and just wearing the shirt open, then when we got to the first game the umpire saying all shirts had to be buttoned.  I could do it up, but man It was not pretty.  It didn't help that the warehouse manager, with a big belly, was yelling, hey, if I can do it up, you can!  Thanks for drawing everyone's attention to it.  I feel sick just remembering that.
