vicarzDepo went swimingly - doc was honest, inexperienced (first thing he said was he was a virgin to depositions, yes quoted), and when told other things the plaintiff hadn't revealed to him, said that those factors would have changed his assessment and indicated NOT ONLY more serious problems than he found, but that YES she should have been removed from the workplace.
No effen way. He's basically now a good witness for me, schwing!
I shouldn't mention that he looks a lot like my cute contractor. That would be crazy, right?
So, achievement unlocked but with an honest doctor. This is a good warmup, but may be much harder with a professional shyster. Still, very muddafuggin productive day. Worth the sleepless hotel, worth the crappy breakfast, worth the coffee swill, worth the 6 hours of driving over 2 days.
But speaking of crazy - some revelations from me being self centered, numbered because I'm too lazy to type:
1. The doc frequently linked immaturity with different personality disorders and paranoid thought patterns. I could draw a picture from his descriptions and essentially say that many types of psyc problems are a lack of maturity. This explains...well me and a lot of my experience.
2. It's true - eeo complaints are a sign of underlying pathology. Paranoid people he linked with illusions of grandiosity, also described as just being self-centered, a childish thing that is a normal part of growing up but lost as you mature. So yeah - thinking every time someone doesn't like you, or every thing you don't get that you want, is a form of harassment or persecution? It's crazy and/or immature. Sure, makes sense.
3. I'm less crazy than I was. I mean like years ago. So...I just had a no-ipod no-books-on-tape random-radio in farm country drive...2 3 hours drives in 2 days. That's a lot of time with my head.
I recall when I was distraught from my 2nd fiance, that it was after a long drive that I pulled my head slightly out of my ass (or begun the head-de-assing process). Many times since I have pondered and self-analyzed on long car trips. Here, while mildly bored, I sort of reassessed all the things going on in my life (it's busy with major life events! I rock on the stressor scales!) And...I have no doubts, no worries, no concerns. I don't have all the answers, but I'm sort of comfortable and mildly happy.
I'll take it.
