Moments of Permanence - Ponderance: Ways of Being and Perceiving with a Socially-Unacceptable Body Type

From: tevriel.livejournal.com Date: March 13th, 2009 06:28 am (UTC) (Link)

Yeah, the woman at UniAccess agreed with me that it seems kind of horrible and ablist to make people with disabilities go through Major Hassle just to be able to use the library. It's bad enough that most of the shelves really aren't wheelchair-friendly, but I accept that makng all the books wheelchair-accessible pretty much isn't possible, and the librarians, I'm sure, would be quite ready to help on that score.

Sympathy helps.

What's currently upsetting me rather a lot is that it turns out that the library staff member in charge of granting the relevant access is someone who, to the best of my knowledge, hates me, has said explicitly and more than once that he thinks I'm faking my health issues both physical and mental, and suchlike joys to my sense of calm.

WHAT??? That's totally inappropriate. If he gives you any grief at all, you go over his head with appropriate letters from your doctor/psych etc confirming you have been officially diagnosed with certain issues, and make a formal complaint about his lack of professionalism and judgmental behaviour.

I may have to, but I really don't WANT to. However, if it hasn't been sorted out when I go back to uni (tomorrow), I won't have a choice.

Of course, this also assumes that person is stupid enough to lose their job over petty feuds.

Yeah because im going to piss away a 60k a year job at one of the most prestigious institutions in the state because of my dislike* for Rae. Any request from UniAccess no matter who it is for is actioned as soon as I recieve it.

Rae's very suggestion that I would even consider holding her access back is so ridiculous as to do nothing but provide further evidence to my opinion that Rae deliberately creates fake dramas to garner undeserved sympathy.


* Dislike is all it is, despite Rae's claim of hate, she is once again being overly melodramatic. Rae is far too irrelevant to my life to even get close to being the realm of hate.

*elects not to delete*

Alternatively, I have a mental illness and am sometimes completely irrational.

I apologise for the insult to your professionalism, it was genuinely uncalled-for. (Although I didn't identify you by name, it was of course obvious if you looked at my journal - which I am still bemused you do - and would be insulting to you personally, even if no-one else identified you.)

Dont worry, I dont read your journal.

I just recieved a "Hey Rae is having a go at you on LJ again" comment from a mutual friend which prompted investigation.
