FOOL’S OVERTURE
History recalls how great the fall can be While everybody’s sleeping, the boats put out to sea Borne on the wings of time It seemed the answers were so easy to find “Too late,” the prophets cry The island’s sinking, let’s take to the sky Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride [...]
Fiesta Del Sol & Confetti
“Fiesta del Sol & Confetti has grown into a unique combination of music and street theater. This has made it a festival offering both entertainment and culture to the visitors with ever surprising and varying musical and theatrical acts, attracting a large audience.” Well, an afternoon of theatre in the sunny city sounded like a [...]

A new beginning?
Today I had the first interview with my new, future employer. And I was not disappointed. Actually I wish these people had come as management consultants and taught our own bosses how to run a high-tech company in spite of the peeks and dips in the market.

Things I wanted to work on remain unfinished. Because tomorrow I will have to walk the tredmill again. Back to [...]

This would be a bad situation for anyone, but in my situation, being a transsexual-in-transition everything is much more complicated. I am afraid, I would not [...]
Sold as a slave
Finally the time has come. My employer has found a way to ditch me (and 40 of my colleagues). It took them eight months to come up with this from the first announcement until today, but now we know. This ends the uncertainty all their employees have had to suffer over the past months. This [...]
