I have had to phone back many times and promise not to hold it against some people to find out the truth for why i never got a job even though i was often the most qualified and most suitable person and the answer has always been my disability. Do i like it no i don't do i understand it yes i do and as time has gone by my skin has thickened to the point where it doesn't bother me anymore and if you want to be visually different thats fine grow the skin to go with it stop expecting the world to molly coddle you something all too many people expect and demand these days precious little things.
