Doctors…

Published 1 year ago in Life and Medical. 0 Comments

Last night, I spent from 19:00 to 02:00 in the Emergency Room of Buffalo General Hospital. I had a EKG done, I was fine there. I had blood tests done, I was fine there. I also had a CT scan of my chest, I was fine there as well. They discharge me with the preliminary diagnose of Chest Pains, musculoskelatal.

I had been having these pains for a week, and I had a elevated heart rate (120) when I went to the ER. I am happy it was not a heart attack, nor was it a blood clot. These are what they checked for.

I go to my doctor’s office for a “ER Follow Up Visit” and she tells me I came in to soon. That a couple hours my symptoms would not change. I tried to tell her as I did the ER doctors, I have had these pains before. I even mentioned to my doctor that it was in my chart, but she didn’t look, she rushed me out. I remembered what it was caused afterward with a help of a friend. I have Tietze’s syndrome, also known as costochondritis, which is  is a benign inflammation of one or more of the costal cartilages (Wikipedia, Tietze’s syndrome).

This is why I don’t like doctors :( NSAIDS here I come!

For the first time ever in my life, the ER doctor was right and my doctor was not…

Peace

PS: less then twelve days until I see my baby!!

Hey,

Well from my last message you can father that I am not moving in with Chris on the 11th of August like I am suppose too. I find this out fifteen-days before I am suppose to. Why, you are wondering? Chris in December of last year (2006) signed a lease for a two bedroom apartment with his then boyfriend, and they broke up in the same week. Since then it has been, you can say, interesting. His ex said in the past that Chris can have someone move in with him, but now he claims that he hates me, does not want me near him, that all I am doing is using Chris and basically he will call the cops if I do come. Why? I am not on the lease, and to add me onto it means they will renew the lease, welcome to another year with the ass. This is even though I have given Chris two months worth of rent ($620). This sucks, eh?

The only good note right now, is that I get to spend more time with my good old friends (Kimi, Rob Thorn, Sammie, Nolan, B-ren, etc..), and also get to know new friends like Rob Wolfe, which reminds me I have to see if he wants to get coffee sometime…. Oh sorry, what was I saying? Oh yea!

I called work today as well to rescind my letter of resignation, just before they started to process my paperwork, thank god. The library has done it again though. I could not get a seasonal or a new position because I was moving, and now I can’t even when I am not. Why?Apparently, people have complained I talk to much, that I annoy people, and that I don’t do my work. They want a month out of me with no complaints, a proven work ethic to allow me to get anything. My boss says my co-workers and superiors (librarians *puke*) were the ones to complain that I am talking to much. When they don’t know what you are doing, and you are talking, why do people always assume you are not working?? Not everyone in the damned building knows what everyone should be doing, the snitch is at it AGAIN! Loyalty, seems no one knows what that is anymore…

The best is saved for last! I am still seeing Chris on the 11th. I will spend a week there from the 11th to the 19th and will try to visit him every month till December. I want to visit him around my birthday, and his too.  But, I think I will do his and not mine since, it will be close together I think. Thanksgiving with him if I want for his birthday tho! So that means a September date… Hum… Let me get back to yall on that.

Peace & Love!

Sixteen Days

Hey,

I am sorry I have not posted that much often, as you have seen in my post Worst week of my life! I have been busy with life.

I move in sixteen-days I am very very excited!

I have finished the last Harry Potter book, and like the fifth movie, I will not post what I think until I have reread, and re seen each one. This is so I can pick up the lil stuff I could not get before.

Work is awesome, I guess. One of our pages lost a walkie yesterday, we spent all morning and most of the afternoon looking for it. They were offering me extra hours to help, but they found it as soon as my regular day ended. That sucks for me, doesn’t it? Life….

Well Peace.

Worst week of my life!

Sunday,  I had watched my best friend Kimi “bury” her mother. Sunday was her mother’s wake and funeral. Cheryl died after being alive for fifty-years. She has been battling cancer for the past five years. I loved Cheryl so much. I have gotten close to Kimi and her mother for the three years.I will miss her so much…

Monday, I found out my friend SubWolf, Rob. Has had a stroke. As of today, they have reported that he is currently in the hospital and awake, but is incoherent and has no feeling or movement on his left side. His heart is not the problem, but they are trying to find out what was. He is in my thoughts always.

What am I suppose to do? :-(

No Hours!

Just as an update. I found out yesterday that my hours will not be reinstated at all. The “extra” hours will not be available until construction on the Rare Book Room’s Staff Only/Tier section starts. This was suppose to start in April and they were rushing to get it ready when I went to visit Chris. I came back and I was told the work could not be started because of control board shit…  The board approved it, but since we only have one electrician the electrical work (like removing the old lights) can not be done fast enough. This just blows :(

It has cost me over one thousand dollars, I needed for my move. Fuck You Erie County!!

Resigning!

Published 1 year, 1 month ago in The Move and Work NY. 0 Comments

I handed in my letter of resignation today! Gave a copy to my boss, with a copy for the Assianit Deptuy Director whom is in charge of HR.

It went something like this!

Dear Assistant Deputy Director Woods:

I am writing today to officially resign my Page position in the Stacks Department of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. My last day with the library will be Wednesday, August 8th 2007.

I am resigning because I am moving to New Hampshire for both academic and personal reasons. This makes it impossible for me to commute to work. I hope you understand.

If you have any questions with this matter, feel free to contact me.

I thank you for you time and understanding in this matter!

Sincerely Yours,
Joshua Ronne Altemoos

Now it was all official looking and stuff, with my letterhead, and address block for the ADD, like a good geek I am.

Now why am I resigning? If you didn’t already know!!! I am moving in twenty-four days to be with the man of my dreams, Chris! I am sooo excited!! I sent the last big box of my stuff, it was 46.80 Lbs. It contains the bulk of my library, including all of my books on mythology.

Only thing I am excited about other the moving is the Harry Potter Book!!! TWO DAYS!!! YAY!! (I have still to post my information on the movie, it is being refined!)

Peace!
Josh

PS: I have resigned before, which is funny, just about a year ago (July 26th). Check out Resigning! for more information!

Howdy Internet Land!!

It is only twenty-eight days until I move to Nashua, New Hampshire. I will be moving in with my boyfriend, whom is named Chris. YAY!!!!

Life otherwise is crappy. Work is crappy… They still have not given me my hours back, I am at nineteen instead of thirty-five like I have been for the past year. I am having somewhat amount with drama with my family, and my friends. Re: Family, it is mainly to do with my sister. She turns seventeen next month and she is a total bitch. She treats everyone like they are shit, and gets all pissed off and/or starts to ‘cry’ and people try to talk to her about it. Oh well. Twenty-eight days, right?

I am currently working on a project for #gaygeeks on freenode, a irc channel I hang out in often. I am setting up a website that will load rss feeds of various users. More or less making a gaygeeks blog community! I plan to try to merge it with the existing community website that contains mugshots and a qdb. Let me know if you there is another set of scripts that can do this other then PlanetPlanet which uses python. This is what I have so far, Planet GayGeeks Thanks!!

The new Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) comes out in seven days! You can pre-order with amazon until 7/17/2007 at Noon to receive it the it comes out! You can get it for $17.99, 49% off (You save $17.00!!), I CAN’T WAIT!

I seen the new Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. They will never beable to do the books justice when making it into a film, why? Because, they can not put everything in, can not devlope all the characters and can not put all the sub-plots in. So what is the point of complaining? Well I can if you want me to, e-mail me if you want to hear it!

I signed up for GrandCentral, try to call me and tell me what you think!

Make sure you are on WolfNIX.Net to view the GrandCentral app.
Or if that does not work, call +1 603-513-2390!!

I’ll update again soon, I promise, If I don’t bitch at me!

Peace,
Josh
