It may very well be & yes, it's possible I could get financial compensation doing so. What I need you to understand though is, ... forgiveness.
Mr. Dorian made his call to me. I heard sincerity and integrity in his voice. He knew something was wrong, simply by my having been terminated. He and I spoke at times while I was employeed. Everyone took the approach that he was the one person to avoid as he was the "axe" man. I simply saw him as "another member of the team".
He told me in our conversations he had spoken at length to Mr. Er-- at the school board regarding me. He said that he was very hopeful to "land" me to work for them. We also discussed various things such as sports, though I was limited on discussion. "You don't like baseball, Ben?" "No sir, it's too slow." If you've seen the movie Basic you'll recognize that line. Truth is, I'm not much for most "mainstream" sports.
I like MMA, Shootfighting, Kickboxing, sometimes a decent boxing match. Even then, I'm not really a fan of these sports, just like watching good fights if they happen to be on. I like my WWE but really any more even it has lost a lot of flavor for me. But yeah, we talked a little sports. Other times we talked food, maybe even talked of wishes. "You know i wish we could motorize that long hallway from North tower to South tower," I said. He explained reasons that wouldn't work.
So yes, we talked even our talks were topological. I got a sense he was a good man. None of this other concerns him. It happened on his watch yes, but this was not him. Forgiveness allows me to smile as others take advantage. Could I be far far more angry? Yes and for a bit I was nearly ready to bite nails.
If I sue for wrongful termination it means I have to get a lawyer, extra expense. Then, I got to take time out for court. No, I rather be working and earning. You may think it ignorant, dumb, meek, meager, idiotic of me to not sue. I'm just going to chalk it up as experience, learning point. Now, I know pricks can hide within the rosy cheeked crowds.I also know how to avoid them, or deal 'em out.
So yes, I'll forgive. It lets me let go of of the venom and gives me control back. I'm not them, I'm me. I don't play their rules or games even. Hope you can understand my view on this brother. Got to let go the hurt, move forward. They cannot own me anymore and I'm done feeling crappy over their bullshit. They're not worth my time.
Supper is on by the way, come break bread with me. Wife says my crock pot stew/roast turned out great. Walked in praising how it smelled. The meat got very well done. It's not fall apart but still done. "Whoaaa, Come With Me Now!" Good food, good company, goodness' sake let's eat!
