MEMO #594

No one here is a little teapot, and singing that song around Agent Lissner is harassment. Lest anyone get the not-at-all bright idea to ask, he can and will cut you down to size. 

Asking him about that, however, is also harassment.

Re: the yawning memo number 593-- Now I'm wondering if any of SHIELD's agents, perhaps its desk officers, have asthma? Yawning helps get more air/oxygen into the brain and is useful for those with asthma. [Experience from my brother]

//To be brutally and unpopularly honest, agents likely all, even the scientists, have to pass some sort of basic physical fitness tests. Maybe a scientist could get away with asthma, but a field agent or even a desk agent who may have some physical exertion required as part of their job would not.

Especially not asthma requiring dependency on an inhaler, or chronic asthmatic bronchitis that would see them ill for weeks at a stretch.

My husband has chronic asthmatic bronchitis, and my sister exercise-induced asthma. Neither of them would likely make the grade as field agents, though my husband’s is well-enough figured out that he might be able to swing a desk job. My sister, on the other hand, would likely need to be a scientist to work for SHIELD.

They’re a para-military organization, with higher standards of everything, including physical fitness. It sucks, but there’s no reasonable accommodation for a field agent with asthma. Desk agents and scientists, though, perhaps. It all  depends on their job description.

There are some VERY well-written and played OCs on Tumblr with disabilities, and they play them VERY close to how I think reality would go. There’s Charlie with her oxygen tank who is filing and filing only, and constantly thinking about how close things are to elevators and how many steps she’d need to take for maximum efficiency and conservation of movement, and Agent Lissner with his height disadvantage who makes the reader truly understand the viewpoint. I’m only four inches taller than his faceclaim; it’s a different world down around people’s belly buttons and he gets it.

But the average field agent couldn’t have any such thing; it would be a liability, and get them or their team killed.//

She waited for the misleadingly long shadow to nearly pass by her alley before she spoke softly. "Agent Lissner, a pleasure seeing you here."

Her timer had been beeping at her for a few minutes, Sharon stared at it like it had been malfunctioning, not quite sure what was going on. She’d only gotten the thing for shits and giggles, she still wasn’t entirely sure of the point of the whole thing was. She rolled her eyes and growled as it kept beeping, “Bhodi! Get in here and help me with this gadget thing, it hasn’t stopped beeping since you got here!”

"Have you seen Coulson lately?"

"--can I just-- hide in here for just a sec?"

"You look a little worse for wear. You also look familiar but I can't place it."

Approaching the office, Sharon saw the door was already open and peaked in and saw Lissner at his desk. She knocked lightly on the door frame and smiled, "Mind if I come in?"
