Sadly the pay and benefits were not enough so I had to once again hide my favorite hobby from employers and co-workers. Now I work for a contractor and if the subject were to come up I'd have to deny it to avoid losing contracts offered by closed minded people.Of course if someone finds out and starts making a fuss I have no hesitation with asking them if they'd like to speak to HR about harrassment and discrimination, but I try to avoid anything getting to that point. Future employment sadly hinges on these kinds of things remaining quiet.It's no wonder mental illness is so prevelant these days. Everybody is too stressed from hiding even meaningless things from everyone else. We are a cruel lot, we humans.</blockquote>
