SL Mess
Things are slowly settling down. My partner has been extremely supportive and I've been seeing a lot of friendly concern and support from friends as well. Even from the people I am not exactly close to.
The short version: the owner was rude to me and another DJ. I called him out on it and that did not go over well. Next thing he did was to tell a bunch of nasty things about me to my partner, without realizing where her loyalties lie. She told him I'd stay as the event coordinator if he apologizes for his rudeness and of course that didn't happen. As I mentioned in the previous post, when it came to accepting our resignations, he basically told her that he doesn't know what to thank me for (hint: my years of service to the club and the fact that I never neglected it, regardless of what my health was like).
Things escalated even more since then, the heart of the conflict being the combination of his words directly to me and his ill-advised "Mal-is-crazy" speeches to my partner. Last I heard is that I am not really welcome to stay even as a DJ. Like I was going to.
I could say a lot about the owner's consistent failure to express any interest in my life or even in how I was coping in the months when I was the sole manager, which is exactly why his current attempts at presenting me as a bad friend are ludicrous at best, but why?
The point is: I did not last through grad school as a disabled woman to take crap like this. People generally respect me for the way I am both in SL and in RL, so I don't feel like I have anything to prove.
I have a very appreciative musical home and I'm doing my best to make sure my partner gets one as well.
