Recently canned

The Human Rights Commission in my state (Oklahoma) has just sent me a form by which I can file some rant about a former employer. Maybe I should be glad that there is such a thing like "human rights", but for some reason, I'm not laughing. At least not just yet. Having been thrown out of work by an abussive boss, who wants to see me hung, rather than be given compensation due workers who are fired, I'm not sure who to thank, or go after. One day I had a job at a hospital where I got called an "ass wipe" by a coworker, and the next day I'm blogging to a group of people I have yet to meet. This is all new for me, but so are a lot of things. If I had a scholarship, it might at least see me through the next month of dry reading from a text on filmmaking, and I wouldn't have to think about going back to work for a disease ridden hospital that treats people like they had something even worse. In the last few days I have spoken to people working for politicians, government officials, attorneys, and even cops at the courthouse, in order to find out where I can go to file a motion before a judge. Only to be told that I have to hire a lawyer in order to drag Dragon Lady to court, which makes her far more important than she really is, a woman who literally made my life a living hell as a supervisor. Ever since she took over the job, and I was there before she became supervisor, I have been studying people's faces. "Are you really for real?" I find myself asking. Or the kind of person who lies their way through life hoping for a reward. Scarier is the fact , that so far, she's found a place for herself as a corporate bounty hunter. Just in case there are still people in this world that believe that the healthcare system in this country is working, your health, or lack of it, has nothing to do with your rights, but everything to do with money, and where it is going. If you are in a professional program, like nursing, you might be thinking "wow! a recession proof job". That's why we have recessions, because of that kind of thinking, which has nothing to do with personal freedom, which we are all too quick to give up for any kind of job. Oklahoma, so I am told, is one of those states that allow an employer to "fire at will", in other words, your boss really doesn't have to cite a reason for your dismissal, as long as s/he can show you are worthless to his/her organization. If you don't fit inside a box, or a category that does, than you are running a higher risk of being jerked from your job and thrown out in the cold. If you are reading this blog and asking "why care about you?"than you've been infected as well...snarf. Stay well, it's cheaper.....CHOTSI (Charlotte DeClue)
