things don't change - we must change

where is today gone?
it's only monday and this week sucks so much already.

Mahesvara doesn't only suffer from CFS, he now also has this illness called vertigo. i don't know what exactly it is, but i do know that it isn't good and that he is signed off for 2 WEEKS now. which means even more staying in bed for him, and more stress and running around for me.

i was trying to play harmonium when i got the call that i have been dreading. Louise asked me to come to work because the area manager from London came down to investigate. i can't really say much about it yet, but they've interviewed me for an hour. i told them everything. from racist behaviour to sexual harassment. i was kind of embarrassed but he made me feel really comfortable and i am glad i went and did it.

i didn't really want to get so involved but Sam persuaded me since what i had to say was of most importance. and i wanted to show that i am loyal to Fungai and to stand up for what i believe in.

to say you're all against racism in some silly survey or to put a little pin that says "fuck racism" on your rucksack is one thing but to actually stand up for it when it comes down to it is a whole other story. and it is a hell of a lot tougher. it took a lot out of me and i am left with a headache but at least i have tried and i have told them everything i could. and not only to back up Fungai, but because it's wrong and it needs to be addressed and sorted out once and for all.

this is a very, very touchy and delicate subject and i am so relieved they took it seriously. we can expect to hear something by thursday. i really admire Fungai for his courage. i love him just the way he is. he is one of those people that i always, always want to have in my life.

other than that, i have a stress headache now. and i totally forgot to drink today.

and Neil and i are going to see 7 Seconds just before me and Fungai go to see Against Me! it's gonna be soo much fun. :)
