I have thought about it. I am of two minds.

I have heard many horror stories about people who have taken writing courses only to be told to not write this or that, or that this kind of writing is not 'real writing,' etc.

But at the same time I want to be able to improve my writing.

Then of course there is the cost.

im sure theres a non-credited course which is by half the cost. up to you padre :) besides.. regardless of the horror stories.. might as well write up one (a horror story) j/k.. its your decision how you want to write nobody can tell you otherwise.

well yes, long story short. i've been recieving brash berating for some time in the past.. but lately i've gained some support from the good guys at work, things appear neutral.. thing is this makes it difficult being a new hire. first if they're not sure what they're getting into .. and hire me, they find themselves in alot of regret.. until they finally understand the way and how to work with me. its not at all giving me an easy way out.. but a form of communication. and yes it takes alot of patience.

the kind of work i do has spurts of moments where they're in a hurry and everything is rush rush rush.. and i miss out when they jumble mumble quip at everything when they come yelling at me like i just TOLD YOU A WHILE AGO!!

sorry bub.. but im hard of hearing so if your're gonna be a sasshole lets just say it was your damn fault for not acknowledging my D/A dummy!

i dunno if this qualifies as harrassment. its more like qualifies for ignorance of my needs and treating me like im a regular.

its ok now.. with that said.. it aint easy finding a newer - friendlier - better paying job. So yea a sort of qualified affirmitive action would likely be great help.. being hired for my skills not race/color/disability etc..

That's definitely something not enough people talk about in conversations about affirmative action in general. At least not in the news sources I go to.

if anyone shakes it up enough to get the world's attention.. yea it'll be the big deal.. tho..

now im not sure if i want to be the center of attention. heh. i've seen the crap the media can go about. volunteers anyone?

sorry i only got one pointer on my mind.. more support for ADA act

closed-caption, braille, ramps and HC parking space requirements arent cutting it for people like me.. im hard of hearing, but my biggest concern is fair opportunity for qualified work. People discriminate because they fear how they will handle someone like me, so i don't get hired.

i was lucky enough to work with this one person in the past who left for another job.. who vouched for me when i was looking for another job later on. now they know how much of a quality employee I can be.

i just wish they wouldn't stress me out with their barging ways

I'm curious, specifically what sort of changes would you like to see?

For example, do you think a type of affirmative action would be useful? Or is workplace harassment an issue?

It's not a type of issue I'm usually exposed to so I don't know much about it.

well yes, long story short. i've been recieving brash berating for some time in the past.. but lately i've gained some support from the good guys at work, things appear neutral.. thing is this makes it difficult being a new hire. first if they're not sure what they're getting into .. and hire me, they find themselves in alot of regret.. until they finally understand the way and how to work with me. its not at all giving me an easy way out.. but a form of communication. and yes it takes alot of patience.

But why only on this one occassion? Anyway, I probably will never know the answer.. but this little mystery is something I can live with, so no worry, thanks, NacthoMan.

quite possibly because its a ball of cheeze :/ we'll never know

cant argue with science ;)

Well, science has no explanation at all why the moon affects humans.. their mental or physical health.

So, wanna solve that one, NacthoMan! ;)

..I personally would love to solve my own mystery with what I presume was the moon.

It was summer of 1997, and I was at a bus stop around 5.30am, saw an enormous round cosmic object in the sky. I presumed it must have been the moon setting, but it was at least 50 times the size it is normally visible with a naked eye. There was nobody else at the bus stop, and I did not have any photographic equipment on me, and by the time the bus arrived, it had already set down behind hills.

I had never seen the moon that large neither prior to that, nor after. Was it the moon? Did I have a daydream, or worse some hallucination?

Recently Byron Bay Lighthouse moon rise video (don't know how to post youtube video link) has been posted on social networking media. It is apparently real, however taken with a special camera lens that magnifies the moon. However, the moon that I saw that morning of 1997 was visible in that size with a naked eye. Is it possible?

well i would agree the atmosphere can act like lens to our feeble human eye. thus enlarging it to our amazement no?
