[nagdu] Cant do it

[Tami Kinney]

Well, I would expect an employer to grant me time off when a guide 
became available for me. In fact, when I mentioned in my interview for 
my last position and then the position to which I was about to be 
promoted that I planned to get a guide dog at some point in the near 
future, they just said of course that would not be a problem, I could 
take the time off and still have my job when I got back before I even 
asked the question.

If I can expect that from an employer, as most guide dog users seem to 
have been able to expect, since they have employment and guide dogs...

Why can't the training center for blind students preparing for the 
world of employment be expected to act accordingly?

Also, in this case, they are not even paying Hannah. They are being paid 
to provide services to her. Very probably every taxpayer in her family 
is helping to pay them.

This isn't a shopping spree or a spring break trip to Daytona... If's a 
guide dog. A mobility tool.

I just can't help thinking that the training center is out of line and 
not setting a very good example of adults in the working world.

I may be missing something, but... Stuff like this just irritates the 
heck out of me. /smile/
