I can tell already this move is going to be no fuck!ing fun. I've filled three wine boxes with books, and the last book I boxed was "The Good Earth," by Pearl S. Buck. Gonna need a lot more boxes.

God-fucking-damnit!
Fishy called me last night - only I forgot to turn the ringer on my cellphone back on after I left work yesterday and I never heard it.
Of all the fucking calls to miss....
(She did leave voicemail at least - sounded good, voice was strong, couldn't give me her direct extension because people keep moving things in the room and she can't find them again - but damnit.)

Fuck! mylarry threw himself down on the bed, not realizing I was half over on his pillow! FUCK! He bounced the back of his skull off my cheekbone. Oh My Fucking God, that fucking hurts! Nice purple bruise the size of my palm, some fun swelling, and my tongue tingles. I mean, I'm familiar with fucking pain, but I have never been fucking smacked in the face in my fucking life. What an interesting new fucking sensation.
Fuck, it looks like I've been beaten.

Oh sure AntiM everybody knows that Larry is a beast ,...... ( this may be good for getting some fine giftage from the guilty guy ) That animal, maybe we should call a woman’s shelter or something for you.

Fuck
I just found out why I did not get the promotion to the customer relations manager position that I have been trying to get. It wasn't because I could not do the job. I am damn good at what I do and I have covered for that position when they were shorthanded. It was because I cannot hear. Fuck fuck fuck fuck! I wear headphones to do my job and I can hear just fine. I have been doing this for ten years. Even after being away for 4 years and having the technology change I was able to point out where they were replacing hard drives that did not need to be replaced. I know because after I made the recommendations their troubleshooting process changed to what I said it should be. Fuck , it ain't my fault I was born deaf. It isn't even a real birth defect. It is because some fuck-assed drug company shithead moron researcher came up with a wonder drug that would make womens pregnancies easier. Fucking wonderful. So I was born with deformed toes, a fucking heart murmur and 70% deaf. Fuck. It just isn't fair. So now they are not gonna give me a promotion because of a birth defect that has no bearing on my performace because we are required to wear headphones anyway? They wouldn't even tell me. You know it won't say that in the records. Fucking assholes.

Fuck BoxB, that's just wrong.
PM, I don't think I fractured it, the numbness is gone and that was what I was watching for indication of a fracture. Still hurts like fucking hell, is puffy and sore, and remarkably deep burgundy and purple. Not like there can be anything done for a fracture ...
Oh, and FUCK!

Fuck, man - thalidomide? I remember in the mid-70s you couldn't pick up a fucking paper without seeing some "uplifting story" about someone born with no fucking arms 'cause of that shit who was still living a productive fucking life. I haven't even thought about that fucking stuff in years, though.Box Burner wrote:Fuck, it ain't my fault I was born deaf. It isn't even a real birth defect.

Totally fucking sucks about the job - any chance at all of an ADA claim?

Yeah. Probably thalidomide. My mom cannot rember. I knew about all the kids being born with no limbs. That sucks. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. But I sure do not feel like it. My toes look pretty normal except that they are scrunched together. The heart murmer wend away but prevented me from doing a lot of active stuff when I was a kid. Mostly because my mom was afraid fo what might happen, I think. The deafness however has been a major source of grief in my life.
I do not know What an ADA claim is. does it have something to do with disabilities? I have never even tried to find out if I am eligable for some kind of disability.
OH... and fuck.

I am sure that there are people that could explain it in more detail, but for the most part, it means that if you can perform the essential functions of the job they CAN NOT deny you the position because of your disability. Unless a keen sense of hearing is an essential function of the job and they told you, or someone else, that you missed the promotion because of your hearing loss, they could be...what do you call it?Box Burner wrote:I do not know What an ADA claim is. does it have something to do with disabilities?

The Americans with Disabilities Act. If you qualify for any kind of assistance, financial or otherwise, you should find out. Up to you whether you care to accept it or not.

God Fucking Dammit.
I was at my girlfriend's place in Wenatchee, WA this morning at 5 AM. It's a little over 2 hours away. I was gonna head straight to work from there, and I was in a flamin' rush to get going. With no time for breakfast, I hit the pantry on the way out the door - I knew there were always pop-tarts and granola bars and such in there. I grabbed a few breakfast bars and hit the road.
On the way back to my side of the mountains, I started to feel kinda' shitty. Real shitty.
Then, I read the label on the wrapper from those cinnamon-flavored breakfast bars I'd been scarfing. It said "Metamucil fiber laxative".
WHAT?
It's not like I had ONE of 'em... I was hungry, I'd chomped several of 'em...
I was late for work today. When I told them what happened and showed them the empty wrappers, they weren't mad at me... they were laughing too hard...

Oh Cap'n...
All I can say is...
um...
What a SHITTY way to start out the morning.
(Sorry, ya knew that was coming, right?)
And... um... BxB... I think my next call would be to the EEOC, then to a workplace discrimination attorney to discuss options. Not saying you have any or not, but... um... yeah. That's blatant workplace discrimination based on a disability. IF there's a workaround for your hearing absence (like amplified headphones, adaptive hearing aids, etc.), then it seems like they have hung themselves. Very short rope, Very long drop.
Oh yeah... Fuck.
