The irony of stuttering
Because this is a stutterer's journal, I should talk about stuttering related news
Bad News: Stephen Hood (not pws) of South Alabama got busted for child pornography. I heard the news just a few days ago. Who would have thought?
Anyway, he is professor no more (forced retirement). Will I ever see him? Probably not. Not a good way to end an otherwise distinguished career.
Good News: No good news. I went to NSA in June, missed FRIENDS in July (had a work conflict), goes to a lot of South Bay meetings. Probably will go to SF eventually. Sac is hard because of the shitty traffic and their meeting starts at 7 PM. I leave at 5:05 and still won't make it. Will have to leave at 4:30 PM. But I don't want to lose my job for any reason. Almost got fired on June 30th. That would have really sucked. There are only two tragedies in life, not getting what you want and getting what you want.
Any job is a good job, and I plan to work until I am 70 (that is a promise for now). The lab job pays something and you have to do something because everyday is 24 hours. Looking for a job is especially hard for me because I am fucked up (not really good on the phone, low self-esteem, and fucked up mentally). I probably move to Nevada if I don't have a job. Basically I must remember that I am TIRED of homework and looking for a job. A job is a job.
Kevin Kline in the movie Dave. "I have a job, I have a job"
Having a job is better than not having a job, no matter what.
One of my many dreams is to see a TM club for pws in the Bay area one day. They have one in Dallas, TX. We should have one in the SF bay area. One of the ironies of stuttering is that the problem goes away when you don't care about it anymore. Translation: you don't stutter anymore when you don't care about whether you stutter or not. Accept yourself as a stutterer. That is so hard.

Monday Monday
Today, I was at downtown oakland for like an hour and accomplished nothing. Usually I eat lunch at the lab on site cafe, but today was different. I was prepared to tell people that I was taking my lunch break if anyone asked. No one asked.
I wasted one hour for nothing because I got there too late. They were supposed to have a demonstration of anti-stuttering device. I was curious, and it is good to admit to myself and others that I do stutter and it is a problem sometimes. Anyway, I got there too late and the vendor (Thomas David Kehoe) and all the people had gone to lunch. I was told...
So shit, and I pumped a car today in Oakland trying to park my. Almost hit and run, but it was just a pump, nothing serious and no evidence. Like I told myself in the past: always be prepared and always be organized. Weather good today, a little hot, but that is expected because it is still summer. Rather be hot than cold.
Wasting time is okay, just don't waste too much time.
