Nov. 25th, 2014 07:04 pmMy fb feed is blissfully not full of race. Me, totally am. Race race race la la. Racity racey race.
Nah, just about work really. I don't think I have one black case right now. Mostly I have age, middle-eastern whining, disability, and mostly retaliation claims because the same people file eeo cases over and fucking over again.
I've exposed that a dept. level eeo person isn't doing their job, resulting in possibly dozens or even hundreds of times appeals were filed against the Agency in which the Agency never responded to the argument. He ... is the twit who complained that he got "up to 100 emails a week," poor dear. He seemed to think when he got a notice from the EEOC all he had to do was upload the hearing documents into the "ecomplaints system" and he was done, never providing the letters to the Agencies. Today he thought he caught me on the phone like I'd be unprepared as him - on the contrary, I caught him and read him the sentences he hadn't read on all letters he has received for 4 years or so which explained the filing deadlines for the Agency. He was unphased. I ran into some criticism - when I pointed out he didn't respond to monthly emails on cases, the question returned was why I didn't elevate the issue up the chain of command. Fair question. So today, no shocker, someone told me he's one of those black racists. This fits everything I know about him and explains it all - I wouldn't say it, but the person who did was black. Rumor also has it when people point out his performance problems, he threatens discrimination claims. Lovely.
Also talked to the person I pushed who thanks me for helping them get this promotion/job. She thanked me again for the help I provide her (daily now), and pointed out that my coworker - the one who accused me of receiving favorable treatment - really misled her and another person on detail by not providing any substantive feedback, allowing really shitty work products to go out with their, and the Agency's, name on it. All players but me - black. I'm actually proud, proud that she credits me with talking her back into applying when she had given up, proud she sees I really try to help her, proud she seems to be very much rising to the occasion, proud I'm humble enough to see when she had some unconventional ideas they were really fucking good AND I was smart enough to use them, and now proud that my backstabbing coworker who plays the race card a bunch has pretty much show his, pun intended, true colors. So I guess that makes me proud to have outshined my black coworker who probably calls me racist. I think he called my old boss racist, but he was black too.
We have 2 new people, experienced, one whom I like while the other...is starting to just seem more and more autistic or awkward or something. The one I like, black, the one not so much, white - BUT they shared her background and all her schooling was xtian so she might be insane (I'm off the clock, so I can say I fucking hate all churches you disgusting freaks). Then again the jury is still out on her, and she talks freely about going to tracks so I really just understand her. I guess I'll hate her because she's white and as long as I keep the religion ew to myself I can treat her like shit and get away with it. Oops, but she's a she so damn. I could hate her as a person but nobody would ever support that in a hearing.
I picked up my gray car from the shop, the guy on the phone was white who told me I can put off the timing belt for a year or more. The guy who gave me the key to my car was black. The sidewalk I walked on to get to the shop was white. The road that I drove on leaving the shop was black. The sky was gray. OK I GET IT.
I have no reason to be tired but I am, and I just was told/realized I need to file my taxes. So the car needs an oil change but is ready to go to canada otherwise - I'm going to canada. In getting ready I realized my passport (I want a stamp, I know you don't _need_ it) still has my VA address while my tags and license are DC. I better look up entrance requirements before I head out. I should also stop watching key & peele (FOR RACE) and switch to south park for the cultural artifacts. Maybe I should get some pancake mix.
But that drove home the point it's the end of Nov and I still "live" in VA, reached out to my accountant who said I should do a partial payment to taxes to the state to avoid late fees...I switched my tax draw from VA to DC when I was expecting to move on laborious day. So that's a mess. That's what I'm not doing now - estimating taxes and figuring out how to make a payment. I should do that.
But I go to canada without a schedule, plan, or expectations. Perhaps a little nervous. Days now Sarah.
