A surprising development

31 May 2002

As I’ve previously mentioned, Miami-Dade county passed an anti-discrimination ordinance which included a clause listing sexual orientation as a protected group (in addition to gender, race, religion, etc.). In simple terms, this means that you can’t deny someone housing, employment, or banking based solely on their sexual orientation. Seems like a no-brainer, right?< ?p?> Predictably [...]

Just in case: “You’re Paying Too Much”

31 May 2002

My anti-virus software caught another incoming message containing the Klez/32 worm on my PC this morning. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, since I update the AV files four times a week and refuse to use Microsoft Outbreak for e-mail. However, there’s a possibility something may have gotten through; I’m still researching the issue, but [...]

Just for the record, the preceding post was rhetorical. I’ve been having a lot of conversations the last couple of weeks about Love, Friendship, Sex, and Relationships, so the topics have been fermenting in my mind. Perhaps I’ll get around to writing something in more depth, but I’m not sure I have anything breathtakingly original [...]

Dr. Werthem’s Dream

29 May 2002

I woke at about 4am with my left eye itching horribly. I wasn’t really surprised by waking up so early, as a project at work had thrown my sleep schedule all out of whack. So I crawled out of bed and staggered to the bathroom to look and see what was wrong.

Hit me

29 May 2002

If you go to Vegas you can keep playing blackjack until you win big, ’til you are flat broke, or until you’ve had enough. There’s no shame in calling it quits before you end up wearing a barrel. With love, though, is it okay to walk away from the table after you lose big too [...]

I wish I could remember last night’s dreams. Usually I do if they are at all noteworthy, but this morning, nothing. They must’ve been building on yesterday’s biorhythmic triple-point low, though, since I woke up in the throes of the worst depression I’ve had in a while. I hate that. Ah well, this too shall [...]

Scraps

28 May 2002

I’m not entirely sure why yesterday’s post never appeared, but I’m a bit grateful. This way I had a chance to notice the embarrassing typo and fix it. And since I’m posting about effectively nothing, I’ll throw in a couple of other tidbits as well. Congrats to Miami Stories for being voted Readers’ Choice Best [...]

Ghost Town

27 May 2002

I could have taken the day off today, but I opted for working. Why? For one, I’ll defer the day off and take it another time, taking extra satisfaction from the knowledge that everyone else is at work while I’m… well ,whatever it is I’ll do with a day off. For another reason, it is [...]

René, revisited

25 May 2002

Six weeks ago I wrote about a homeless man I had “adopted,” René. When we last saw him he was promising that he was starting to get his act together, and I was telling him that I wished him the best, but that I didn’t want him knocking on my door again until he could [...]

24 May 2002

My apologies for my unexpected absence, but my energy levels are getting progressively lower each day. For the first time in quite a long while I am looking forward to seeing the doctor, so I can find out the cause of this inescapable fatigue. At this rate I will be incapable of getting out of [...]
