I don't consider myself a victim. But I feel like one today. Listening to people lie to your face tends to have that effect on you. Trying to shake it off and lose that feeling. I have no doubt in my mind that they lost an opportunity to have an awesome administrator, me. If you can't accept me for who I am, disability and all, then you are so not worth my time. I will however not back down to you and shout to the rafters that you have done wrong. That is not being a victim, that is teaching YOU a lesson about right and wrong, and how you should treat people.
I had to deal with the EEOC today. It was in a word, SCARY. I don't understand how someone who is involved with discrimination issues actually said that I shouldn't discuss my disability at work that it can be used against me by people. Umm, I am who I am and if you use my disability against me then its WRONG! Isn't that the point of the EEOC to identify wrong? I guess the lesson today is that if you are passing able bodied you should stay in your closet. No wonder its nearly impossible to enforce the ADA if this is who is supposed to be enforcing the law.
So there went 6 hours of my life that I will not get back and still nothing is resolved. Apparently, to go to mediation one does not have to be willing to negotiate. I was. Shame, they weren't. Litigation will cost you so much more in the end. I will prevail!
Tomorrow is another day! Forward!
