Standing Up to Sociopaths
I would go to sleep, if I felt settled about my fucking crazy, bigoted, sociopathic boss who picks on gays, blacks, Jews, and handicapped people. I have to confront her about this. I don't want to, but everything I stand for is wrapped up in this. I can't let this go by without standing up for what I believe in.
The fact is, though, I just don't want to. I'm scared. It's not just, "Please don't say discriminatory and offensive things around me." She doesn't get it, and she's said that she thinks people will get upset at anything, so she's not playing the pc game. Fucking a. I hate her. I think I'll qualify with: when it pertains to someone's religion, ethnicity, handicap, sexual orientation, or race. Maybe I'm missing something. Oh well. I'll start there. I need to tell her straight out, not in an email. I think I'd feel cowardly in an email. I need to say it and walk away knowing I did the right thing. I'm scared, but I'm going to try and do it on Monday. Then I want to go and drink.
