The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

Get thee behind me, Satan

I wussed out.

I did not cancel the appointment.

Over the past few months of dealing with Bunny's medical issues, the wait for appointments was excruciating and in light of that, I just couldn't cancel someone else's appointment. Also, I thought about it, and it could have been a transcription error on the part of the doctor's office. My name can be spelled “Sean,” “Shawn,” “Shaun,” or “Shon.” My last name can be spelled “Conner” or “Connor.” That's eight combinations—more if you accept “Konner” or “Konnor” (it's not out of the realm of possibility—I had an uncle whose last name was “Kollins,” not “Collins”).

I did call and this time, it was escalated to the head nurse at the doctor's office. It turns out it was a transcription error, so there's at least one explanation for receiving some other Sean Conner's email (and for the record, the head nurse could neither confirm nor deny the patient's name was “Sean Conner” even though that was clearly the case).

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
