Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not right, and it's not appropriate. Which applies to JZ and Juliebird.

I am still steamed my boss thought I would change my mind on having my disability accommodated because new management doesn't like working from home. For a start, maybe they don't understand how much time can be wasted in the office, or how on top of email, etc, I am all day at home (I daren't let it slide like in the office). I would like to think, accommodation aside, on a case by case basis my biggest problem is that my boss refuses to meet with me unless she can see my face, even if she doesn't want to show me anything.

The work gets done, I'm responsive, and my doctor said so.

JZ, you know I'm a totally mild-mannered person, but I can get a look on my face that is really excellent at letting people know they'd just...better not.(Surprises the fuck out of people, too. They think I'm a pushover, until they see that...and mostly, they don't forget it either...it's like "Remember when you were *so mad* that time?"(although I don't have to be angry, just Over It...probably I've been angry and come around the other side.) I wish I could have taken the heat. Those People love me...the see me as living reinforcement of their argument, which I hate, but it would have totally drawn fire off you.

That really is enough, as far as my spotty knowledge of workplace-ADA rules goes, ita.

It was a Day. I have a colleague who I shall refer to as TINO who was unbeliably obnoxious, unprofessional, and entitled today to the point that I had to get a supervisor involved. And since TINO is a behind the scenes IT type person, he can make my life really difficult next year. But I couldn't let it go given how inappropriate it was and how unwilling he was to meet face to face to resolve it.

Damn it, TINO!

Also I just got home and discovered that the gas company shut our line down because they are fumigating the back house...which has a separate gas line. They shut them both down, apparently. I don't think I can blame TINO, but I'm going to anyway. Fucking Tino.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Through me not paying attention and a shoddy public transportation system I left work at 6:30, and I am not going to get home until 9:45. Currently I am on the wrong bus and I am going to have wait for it to get to the end of the line, take a 20 minute break and then go back to the transfer station.

Tino appears to have forgotten that a school is about the students, not the adults. Tino needs to figure that shit out if he wants to work at a school.

It sounds like it was a rough day for several people. Virtual hugs or (for non-hugging types) understanding smiles.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Yesterday, at day 1 of a 2 day training, I humiliated a Tino (favorite quote -- "Just because your title has the word expert in it doesn't make it true") and today, I kept my mouth shut while my coworkers derailed a presentation that was incompetent.

I love my department members.
