Life's tooo god.

So here's the latest...

• I moved to a bigger, cooler desk that used to belong to the Art Director, in the part of the office with all the fun people.


• I'm working on a project which tests my thoughts on the line between "just a client" and "conscientious objection" - for now, I need to keep this job, however. It is keeping me busy, and when the NDA is done, I'll point you at the website/portal and you can go "Ewww and Ahhh", then think less of me.


• I'm going to worry over my spelling of conscientious for a while.


• My father is out of the hospital as of today. For those not knowing, he'd been having problems with his innards for a while, which required him go through 2 previous surgeries, each of which was painful and required significant changes in his lifestyle. This third surgery essentially cleared up all of that, and within a month or so, he can go back to living a normal life again. This is an enormous thing -- it represents the end of almost 3 years of pain, radical inconvenience and stress for him. When he's able, I think a trip to Kyma is in order.


• I'm pretty sure the Medical Emergency I had last week is probably gastro-intestinal. I have similar symptoms every time I eat, and I can now even feel something going wrong in my guts prior to my heartbeat starting up again. It sucks, but sucks less than thinking I have a heart problem.

Yes, I read your journal.

HHS Responds
"We've reported to you on the homosexual website at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). When some of you wrote to HHS to criticize this misuse of taxpayer dollars, you received anonymous, abusive, and even threatening responses. I protested this vigorously in a letter to HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt. Recently, I received a call from Rick Campanelli, legal counsel to Leavitt. He acknowledged that the website had been taken down and that the unidentified contractor employee responsible for the abusive replies had been fired. That's fine--as far as that goes. But Mr. Campanelli did not explain how HHS became involved in promoting the unhealthy homosexual lifestyle in the first place. We had pointed out the medical inaccuracies that were promoted by the website. Nor did Mr. Campanelli explain to me how HHS could allow a contractor to speak for the largest federal department on such a vital matter. To be fair, many of the replies received to your expressions of concern were civil and respectful--if noncommittal.

What this episode shows us is that even under a friendly, pro-family administration, the bureaucracy can run amok. As a former elected official, I understand the importance of public servants truly serving the public in both word and deed. I share the outrage of those who received the abusive responses from HHS. I can assure you, FRC will not turn a blind eye to the abuse of tax dollars or tax payers."

-Tony Perkins, President

So sweet!

In short, the Department of Housing and Human Services removed it's pages on Health related issues as they affect the LTBG/BGLT/TBLG/etc community and the larger communities in which they reside. Hot. THIS WILL MAKE HOMOSEXUALITY GO AWAY.
