damn the muse

So here's a perfectly legitimate question: In the world of job offers over the internet, when is it safe to say that you're physically disABLED?

On craigslist I'm currently selling my services as a Spanish tutor, which so far has made my realize that I love Craig. Then the other day I received this offer. It was a three day interpreter job, and the pay was very nice. The woman who contacted me asked some questions and requested my resumé, and I emailed all the information that same day. I also included the D word. The next day she replied with the rejection saying I was very qualified but they had just filled the position.

I'm a native Spanish speaker. I studied it in college to make sure I could write it better. When I was a kid I would spend my summers in Guanajuato and come back speaking with a slight accent. It was amusing.

I speak better Spanish than the majority of people here in San Antonio, and I delight in making fun of the people and programing for Univision. And no, I'm not immune. I have been known to make major pochadas, and my family and I make a living out of correcting each other to a painful degree, but this keeps us from not forgetting. I tutor so I won't forget.

I'm not pissed because I wasn't qualified. If it was first come first serve then so be it. Who cares. But I have this horrible feeling that maybe, just maybe I wasn't hired because I'm disABLED.

I hope I'm wrong.
