Sierra - An Apology!

July 19, 2006

Sierra -

I want to humbly apologize to you. In reading back over the message

I wrote (snipped below) I realize I came across sounding really

snippy to you. I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean it to come across

snippy, or to make you feel bad about asking questions, and if I did,

I hang my head in shame.

I realized later that you may just not have seen the earlier email I

sent with the ADA information in it, given all the emails we get in a

day. So I'm sending the link here again, just in case you want it.

It's a document from the Arizona Center for Disability Law that

summarizes the employment sections of the ADA in very understandable

terms. For anyone interested in any aspect of the ADA, this center

has some of the best information on the web available at their main

I sincerely applaud you, Sierra, for your efforts to find a job that

works for you. I only wanted to try to give you information to help

you be a more informed (and therefore more powerful!) job applicant,

and to improve your success in getting a job and accommodations that

work for you.

Sometimes email is a terrible medium for communicating intent,

however, so I wanted to let you know that my intentions were good,

even if my execution was terrible! For that I really do apologize.

Please, don't ever feel like you can't ask questions here. And let

me know if you have any more questions. I'm happy to try and answer

them since I've been through the ADA employment process myself.
