Without going into a lot of details, I have filled a Discrimination against the Disabled Complaint at work. I was told I could not use my wheelchair at work. I've been obsessing over that and other work and neglecting my duties here and at The WCR.
I will make an effort to wrap my head around the Good Parts of Life and get back to what really counts.

You are what really counts. You gotta live your life, man! Hobbies are never the priority that health, work and family are.

Hi Joe,

I'm truly sorry to hear your having trouble with your employer. These little cars are a great way to put a smile on the end of the worse day you can have. If I can help with anything or offer you a smile I'm here for ya! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

What kinda crap is that? Don't you work for the city or county of something Joe? I can't imagine a city/county/state government not allowing a wheelchair.

You kidding, Gint? This is the state where a guy filling a permanent job at a National Guard unit was fired because he was on active duty in Iraq and couldn't be there for his full time NG job ............. The Cap'n

Joe, I've been dealing with a big issue involving a wheelchair and my wife for the last couple of years. It sucks and so does your issue. I need to remind myself to think about what I want to do today almost every day.
Do I want to be insanely pissed off and depressed all day long hating life or do I want to accomplish something or do something cool?
It's up to me.
We got fucked. You got fucked too.
After that I need to decide what I want to do. It's better if I do something good.

With the Complaint I got a Slamdunk going on. They can't even ask me about the chair much less tell me I can't use it. It was just plan stupid for them to say anything.

Joe,

I hope you nail their asses to the wall. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Seems like that is the only way to get some of these things changed.

Hang in there and good luck.
