Default Well

After such a long wait, my trial leads get pulled tomorrow, I meet with my permanent surgeon Thursday!

That's the good news. The bad news.

I received my summative eval at work. I got all proficients, but my illness was mentioned six times. It's a disability. I was also told that I most likely wouldn't be rehired due to my disability. I thought that was illegal, but since I was leaving to getting my M.Ed, I'm sure I wasn't staying anyway.

It's rough being discriminated against. I wish I had a tape recorder today.



On the good side, I have 6 weeks of my FMLA left, and intend to use it.

Heart Due to My DISABILITY

Disability, upon the candor of disclosure, with a reasonable demonstration of the capacity to perform, is DUE reasonable and appropriate accomodation. Federal stuff, that. Do you have access to a yellow pages for an employment consult with some employment lawyer who would be able to advise you?

I hate that!!!! Hate it with a passion!!!!! Discrimination,
Humbug,
May the fleas of a thousand and one camels infest their hairy spaces,
imagine the itching,
sign me Perturbed

Teeth Not my itchy bits

Those itchies are for the folks who let TK know she is unnecessary to her employment anymore because she has a disability. They need the annoyance of itchies without a cream as a balm.

I'm still seething here as well. I already miss my buzzer. I want it back. My hands hurt. Hopefully good news tomorrow :-)

Thanks y'all. I do have an Ada contact and a lawyer.

Funniest part: we are moving to the coast. I was quitting lol
