Since I don't want to run the disability committee...

(although part of me does wish that I'd really been the seasoned activist my boss had expected me to be at the beginning of all this...I admit that.) I told some tales about stuff I'd been a part of--I didn't lie--but my part was small, and he thought it wasn't.(Even scaling back with PDA, they trust me more than the CIL *ever* did, which is its own tragic statement, when you think about it, considering that Empowering Disabled People didn't even mean sending stuff out with my name on it.)
And the person he describes as the "head" really did head it up, handling the eleven million annoying committee details in ways that would...probably depict minor nightmares for me if I attempted them(and it hurts that more of my disabled friends did not think of me as a true disabled friend) But this isn't a "show up and get your picture taken' kind of deal at all. She does the work I'm glad I'm not doing.
But it still hurts that it was gonna be "mine" and now? It really isn't.(Well, I get the same credit your parents give out when they're, like, "You were just the antic gleam in my eye when that happened."
"Muse" would be hard to put on my resume, if it ever mattered what I put on my resume.
I hate when I'm petty like that.
