Well, my Gmail now mostly works again, although GChat doesn't at all, fyi. If you need to reach me during work hours right now, email is by far the best option.

Hoping everyone in the path of the major storms is ok; I can feel them moving this way, but we're only slated for mixed thunderstorms today. Feeling pretty groggy/hungoverish from the ( Read more... )

So after all the hassle and waiting to take myself off Saturdays it looks like I'll be back on them, at least intermittently, for most of the summer. This is partly voluntary and a good sign, in that I wouldn't be taking that on if I weren't feeling a lot better already with hopes of more improvement in the near future. The household could ( Read more... )

This was an extra-uber-special date weekend. Along with it being a Chad weekend, my very long-term sweetie Katy arrived for a much-anticipated visit ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a Kidlet day with Chad. We've been planning to go to the Lake Erie Nature Center for ages, and have been waiting out bad weather and kiddo illness. Yesterday turned out to be a great day to go; sunny and warm enough to really enjoy the outdoor stuff as well as the indoor, although it being Ohio we all brought extra layers just in ( Read more... )

In a really weirdly mixed mood today. It was pretty positive, coming off a pretty good resolution to the harrassment crap and a pleasant evening with Chad and morning with the housemates. Then I got some work-related news that I can't discuss at this point, but has shaken me uncomfortably (not directly about me). And a legitimate and fully ( Read more... )

So things actually went surprisingly well last night. I called into the main dispatcher's line when I got home around 10pm or so, and the dispatcher I talked to was extremely responsive and pretty clearly pissed that we went through that. The officer who showed up to the house also took it seriously and handled it appropriately, even if he was a ( Read more... )

Called the 2nd Precinct to find out whether to come in to file a report there, or have someone come to the house. As expected, had to stand up for our right to have this reported, even though there isn't really anything they can do about it at the moment. Seem to have convinced the officer I spoke with (who even voluntarily used the phrase 'hate ( Read more... )

So I'm writing a good deal today about the crap that happened to G at my/our house today. Part of why I'm writing about it is because I can. Because G and I are both out, because we don't have to worry about a homophobic landlord kicking us out, because we're got a supportive household and social circle who aren't asking us shit about whether we ( Read more... )

As I told Mom a bit ago, I can get intimidated, or I can get ENRAGED. I'm pretty clear on my choice here. I've talked to my coworker and boss, and they understand why I'm headed home early today to deal with this. G has a hard time with cops, and I'm sure as shit not making him report it by himself, but I do want it on paper today ( Read more... )

Copied over from FB:

From my housemate; just saw it when I got to work. Oddly, the rainbow paint job and the household queerness quotient are pretty orthogonal. I'm waiting for more detail from G so we can determine what kind of report we can or want to file. Unsurprisingly, I'm both angry and exasperated.

Some ass hole just knocked on my front ( Read more... )
