trying to keep positive

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, I am trying to keep a positive attitude about my brief experience in the workforce as Dorothy. It was good for me to be me in a RL situation, something I can try and build on if I find another place accepting enough to let me be myself. I just don't know how realistic that actually is. I have so few skills, I feel like some grunt job is my best option, and those are not usually flexible. Ah, well.

So, this is a first for me. I posted an entry in the year long writer's challenge earlier, since I was waiting for my editor to get back to me with the last change sheet for 12-String, and I was waiting for another author to post their story for the day.

Lo and behold, I get back my change sheet for 12-String. . .and end up posting right after myself. I do hope no one gets mad at me for this.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, we have completed the revision and editing tour for 12-String one, and the first thing I have to say is I suck. Not in any major way, I just forget a lot of question marks and general punctuation at the end of paragraphs.

Those are the sort of thing I simply don't see when reading through my work. It's a dyslexia thing. Basically, I have to assume I understand what is written there half the time, and it becomes easier when I was the one who wrote it.

It seems, by caring too much, I've inadvertantly hurt someone. So...from now on, I am staying OUT of other people's lives completely. I'm not answering questions, or offering advice, or anything else remotely like that ever again. In fact, consider this my withdrawal from the "community" et al!

Every fucking time I let my feelings get hold of me and I care too much, I end up with someone being hurt! Well, I'm done. Carry on without me!

Borrowing a quote from "You meant it for evil"

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I read this quote from the latest chapter of "You meant it for evil" and It just describes the choice of transition for me perfectly:

 

“What happened to you is a dream come true for someone with a mind like yours. Reality for most people like you is harder and sadly, with the intolerance of society, born to some degree from the way most of us are put together, ends up being a decision between two bad choices. Either hide who you are inside and pretend to fit in or make the change and live with the consequences."

I think I assumed more people would be familiar with the recent movies than was likely.

I will let others make up their on minds regarding the story.

And they're off...

Well, talk about a change of fortunes.

Not only have I got my job - which I will be starting tomorrow (phew!), but we also have eight houses to look at when we go to France next month over the Easter break.

But it doesn't end there, oh no.

To those it may concern:

Well, first of all, thanks for reading this. As you know, I haven't published anything since the tail end of January. I know, I had a good turn going. Well, as things do on occasion, everything came to a screeching halt. I haven't touched ChangeDay: Advent since then, nor my more acclaimed Dream Come True. Of course, this is not because I didn't want to or that writer's block caught me.

dr peter gomes

I never got to know this guy very well when I was at college, but he was a well-loved figure on campus, even for those of us who weren't religious. Now he's gone we're all poorer for his passing. Would that everyone in various churches was as tolerant and giving.

Here's a lovely interview from a few years back. One of Stephen Colbert's finer moments, and that's saying something.

tooth pain

Author: 

well, i was rather stupid. I have been fighting tooth pain the last couple of days, and i had the chance to go to see a dentist today, and didn't take it. It would have meant waiting most of the day at the ER, and i felt better by the time i might have considered it. Now, i dont know when i might have another shot, and i wishing i had gone.

Equality assessment

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

To state 'the bleeding obvious', I am not going to discuss my employment in detail here, so please think before you reply to this. I have an issue at work regarding what is called an equality assessment. Under UK law, changes in working practices or conditions require an equality impact assessment. This is ostensibly a way of seeing whether a change adversely affects a particular group, such as the disabled, married folk, or TLGB (MY turn to choose the order of the initials)

This is not a complaint

In fact, it's kind of the opposite. I just scrolled down my "My Stories" page and near the bottom is a page that has suddenly over 50 daily hits. That's not bad for something a month old. But this is something 3 years, 4 months, 1 week, and 3 days old. Wow.

Apparently, there's been a recent interest in my poetry today. Thank you, folks!

BigCloset Drupal 6 Upgrade

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, it's becoming more and more obvious that we need to upgrade to Drupal 6. We've got several Drupal 6 sites now running, Stardust is on 6. So, it's time to upgrade TopShelf.

We're going to do a dummy version first, probably this week and then later, in a week or a month when we're convinced it's going to work, take BCTS down while we do the conversion on live data.

XOOM ! Any comments?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Well, with my laptop in the pit, I have been thinking about alternatives, and then today I saw Steve Jobes speaking about the new Ipad. $499 opened my ears a little. It'll have Wifi and Cell Network internet available. So, completely ignoring the fact that the release date is the 11th I went looking for one to ask questions. Did you know that Verizon is selling the Ipad? Well, I went into the store and started asking all sorts of laptop questions, and then the people there said, "Let's talk about the XOOM?"

Pay no attention to the brevity of Hypatia

Edeyn When the idea for, "PAY NO ATTENTION," came to me, it was already past my bedtime (yes, I do occasionally sleep -- ask Erin, she'll vouch for me).

So,instead of being able to write the whole thing out, I wrote what I could in twenty minutes.

I Just Read An Article on MSNBC.com

Author: 

I just read an article about how more and more companies are offering SRS and Breast Augmentation for Transsexual employees in their Health Insurance plans. It talked about Wells Fargo Bank, Coca Cola,AT&T, New York Life, and others are offering SRS as a means to promote tolerance and diversity. I left a comment on the article, but I can tell you that it definitely brought out the bigots in full force on the comments page. Most of them, had absolutely no experience with the issue and spouted off from their own point of view.

Of rings, and things

So, I was looking at rings on the internet, trying to find the perfect one for Madam Zeela to make for Gretchen.

It's not exactly what I was envisioning (which was something closer to http://tinyurl.com/4g98447) but I fell in love with the following one, and want to get everyone's opinion.

http://tinyurl.com/45gytys.

Or, do you have a preference of your own?

Zeela does not want to go with a traditional diamond setting, and has a "large stone" that she wants to use.

Anyway, as always, your input is appreciated :)

Falling Off the Wagon

Yesterday was not a good day for me.

i fell off the cross-dressing wagon.

It had been over 4 yrs since I last cross-dressed.
All I will say is that my wife has been away overseas with her mom for a month, and I miss her.

But I'm not making excuses. The question I have to answer for myself is whether I will be able to tell her.

Well, I had my interview, and I think it went well. I should find out by the end of next week if I got the job, but they seemed okay with me being me, and I think i showed my telephone skills. So we will have to wait and see.

The next chapter of 12-String is done, and it has been submitted for editing. Last time I posted about this, I think my editor felt a little rushed. That was not my intent. Take your time, as I would prefer a complete product to a fast one :)

Just letting you all know where we are in the process.
