Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
One day soon, it’ll all settle down
Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
All across the nation, people are gettin’ together
From many ideas they form a single goal
Some people are gonna benefit
And others gotta sacrifice
But everything seems to seems to be up in the air at this time
I got some certain special feelings for you
I don’t know if they’re good or bad
But I just might give you a call
Everything seems to be up in the air at this time
I have little to add for background or color on this chapter. Because of the sensitive nature of what unfolded, my choice of words was meticulous. As stated elsewhere, the difficulty in writing the scenes involving conflict with The MP or his minions was identifying my emotional state at that time, and pushing away influences based upon my knowledge about subsequent events, or rationalization, or any revisionist history rooted in my own denial.
Poor Sandra in HR. My eyes nearly fell out of my head when she told me ‘just make up someting.’ She seemed to immediately realize it was a stupid thing to say. In retrospect, it calmed me down.
Personal Space Camp is named after the children’s book of the same name by Julia Cook, a prolific children’s book author with many titles focused on issues faced by autistic children (and grownups, apparently).
The exchange that occurred on Thursday (Thursday, May 3, 2018, to be precise) with Tania in HR’s carefully worded definition of unnecessary wandering, is the verbatim e-mail exchange. Now that you are aware of this, go back and read the first sentence of The LC in Chapter 2. Ha.
At some point a few weeks after I returned from giving everyone time to heal, Sandra in HR and I were talking in her office about everything swirling around me, and she said “Tania in HR provided me with the conditions you agreed to in settling Jane’s complaint. The only thing that’s confusing is, what does ‘unnecessary wandering or lingering’ mean? Did anybody explain that?” I didn’t respond and changed the subject because it was so embarrassing at the time, but in retrospect hilarious. I considered writing that into the story but never did.
