Rumors in this "community" spread like wildfire & within a week, I have people who just moved in discriminating against my disabilities. If any of those rumors have any actual relevant information in them (not that I expect that to be the case based on the complaints Charles has talked to me about, which seem to use bigoted statements on people with disabilities), then they'd know that indoor smoking at least has something to do with my actions (not that I would expect them to relay the fact that I'm simply fighting for my rights as a non-smoker when the purpose of those rumors are to spread vicious statements to quite frankly instigate a "witch hunt"). E28 has been one of those residents that have started discrimination shortly after moving in, which this might only prove the reason behind that if they are smoking/doing drugs inside & knew they were going to receive problems over it in my fight for "clean air" (see my profile banner). There is one other unit that also has been discriminating against me shortly after moving in, however I've never determined that pollution was coming from their unit, so I don't expect that my standing up for my rights plays a part in this (more the twisted information they got about my actions via vicious rumors). The wife in that unit is at least decent & hasn't discriminated against me yet, but the husband is the complete opposite (like night & day).
Back to the issue at hand, I nearly contacted Charles about the possible drug use in E28 last night while it was still happening. Why didn't I? If I had a cell phone I would have done it in a heartbeat, I didn't feel like turning my computer back on to send the text & I was ill enough that I just wanted to get to bed. If Charles is going to call the police on people doing drugs in the building, then they need to be caught in the act & I wasn't well enough to do what was needed to make sure that happened. If it weren't for the fact that I had just shut down my computer, I probably would have sent that text & this could have put a stop to the matter if the pollution being smelled in all units & the public hallways really is originating in E28.
Health problems from indoor pollution today:
- Chest Pains
- Coughing
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Nausea
- Sore Throat
UPDATE: Looks like
E21 is moving out; while I don't know the reason behind it (I didn't ask), I
would expect the blame to go on me as it has happened in the past by people who
started the rumors floating around here & used those as an excuse behind
the move. I expect I'll hear from
Charles on Monday if they are throwing the blame my way, which wouldn't really
surprise me... >.<
UPDATE: Sent Charles
an email today about the pollution that was coming from E28 last night, stating
that I'm thinking the pollution might be originating there & traveling to
other units (which would mean units that I previously "verified" as
pollution coming from them might actually be victims in the same manner I
am). To my surprise, Charles responds
via email again from his phone, stated once again to text him if it
continues. The fact that I am getting a
response back from him (in a non-threatening manner) is a good thing because I
rarely ever do (especially for a weekend), although I expect the only reason
he's doing so is because I stated I was going to start taking care of the
problem myself again. I'll be sure to
text him next time it's happening, regardless of how I'm feeling, whether my
computer is still on or whether I'm woken out of a sound sleep hacking on
pollution from cigarettes/drugs.
