22. Religious harassment is as vile as sexual harassment

and I have been on the receiving end of both. And like all other kinds of emotional and physical trauma, they give you such a physical reaction. I was nauseous going to work every day because I didn't want to be accosted by the security guard. I would pretend to be on the phone when I walked in the building. I made sure I *always* had work to do at 8-830 on Mondays, and felt very uncomfortable when people would talk about the meetings.

Later, after the interim manager had been replaced and was back to being a normal worker, she couldn't hold the meetings in the manager office - she wasn't manager. So she'd wait until Wednesday, when the case manager wasn't in the office, and use HER office as a prayer group meeting from 11-1130. now THIS pissed me off because it's an extra 30 minute break that non-participants didn't get. But again, complain about the Christians and they'll accuse you of dressing gay just to persecute them.

It's fine though. They're all unemployed now and I work out of my home. I hope I don't sound petty....I mean, everything happens for a reason. It's god's will....
