so my client did end up getting fired, and boy, did he go up in flames. ok, so as i wrote earlier, he almost got fired for the verbal threats at work towards me b/c people are scared he'll carry them out, liability, blah blah. so on Monday he went into the building starting on the verbal threats. so i tried to get him to leave so he wouldn't disturb people and get himself fired. but that only made matters worse and he wouldn't leave the building but instead went all up in the offices yelling at me, and he even kicked me and squeezed my hand really hard. as suggested by the owner of his care home, i called the cops and he was taken by the cops to a mental health treatment center where he pulled my hair and kept trying to touch my genitals. so he was, of couse, fired, since everyone could hear him ranting that morning. and now i think he blames me for getting fired. he kept saying while this episode was happening. "Because of you! Because of you! I'm going to lose my job." he sounded like Kelly Clarkson! who is in town in Sacramento this weekend, btw.
so because he personally attacked me, i said that i'm probably not a good match for him anymore, so i'm no longer working with him anymore, but i had to call his board and care about something, and he was near the phone when i was talking to the staffperson and i could hear him in the background. "i gotta have a job. i can't just stay home like this all the time." so yeah adding to me feeling bad and thinking that he thinks it's my fault that he lost his job.
in happier news, i have some more pictures that y'all might find intriguing. i got this email from my friend Matt Burkhalter who wrote a traveler's guide about queer Atlanta called Atlantaboy, and i get period updates from them. this particular one was about a new show "coming out" (haha, yeah, i know, i'm corny) on LOGO, the LGBT television network, filming this summer in Provincetown, MA, and it's called P-town. so i decided to send in an email with my bio. but i needed some photos. so luckily, i know this guy Robert who does photography as a hobby so he did a semi-professional photo shoot for me at the California State University - Sacramento, AKA Sac State. so y'all can see those on my Yahoo photos. i have sent in 3 or 4 emails and have not received any word back. they've probably already cast everyone, but hey, at least i tried.
and also, i'm going to Oberlin for commencement!!!!!!!! i got my ticket on Thursday. fuckin' four hundred forty-one dollars, and i still have some crazy-ass flights. from SFO to Vegas to Cleveland getting in at the asscrack of dawn on Saturday the 27th. and leaving Cleveland Mon. night, Memorial Day, getting into SFO at 1:30 AM. and then i'll have work the next day.
