Indoor smoking/drug abuse continues again early this morning (or rather, it's a continuation from late last night) in Building E of the South 67 Condos. This time it was confirmed to be coming from E28 & the smell in the public hallways was also confirmed to be coming from that unit where the pollution was literally "blowing out" their front door (with the door still closed). The fact that it was that strong to fill the entire back 3-quarters of the building (upstairs anyways) makes me believe that the pollution I was previously "verifying" as coming from other units might have been getting transferred through the vents from E28.

Rumors in this "community" spread like wildfire & within a week, I have people who just moved in discriminating against my disabilities. If any of those rumors have any actual relevant information in them (not that I expect that to be the case based on the complaints Charles has talked to me about, which seem to use bigoted statements on people with disabilities), then they'd know that indoor smoking at least has something to do with my actions (not that I would expect them to relay the fact that I'm simply fighting for my rights as a non-smoker when the purpose of those rumors are to spread vicious statements to quite frankly instigate a "witch hunt"). E28 has been one of those residents that have started discrimination shortly after moving in, which this might only prove the reason behind that if they are smoking/doing drugs inside & knew they were going to receive problems over it in my fight for "clean air" (see my profile banner). There is one other unit that also has been discriminating against me shortly after moving in, however I've never determined that pollution was coming from their unit, so I don't expect that my standing up for my rights plays a part in this (more the twisted information they got about my actions via vicious rumors). The wife in that unit is at least decent & hasn't discriminated against me yet, but the husband is the complete opposite (like night & day).

Back to the issue at hand, I nearly contacted Charles about the possible drug use in E28 last night while it was still happening. Why didn't I? If I had a cell phone I would have done it in a heartbeat, I didn't feel like turning my computer back on to send the text & I was ill enough that I just wanted to get to bed. If Charles is going to call the police on people doing drugs in the building, then they need to be caught in the act & I wasn't well enough to do what was needed to make sure that happened. If it weren't for the fact that I had just shut down my computer, I probably would have sent that text & this could have put a stop to the matter if the pollution being smelled in all units & the public hallways really is originating in E28.

Health problems from indoor pollution today:
  • Chest Pains
  • Coughing
  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Migraines
  • Nausea
  • Sore Throat
UPDATE:  Looks like E21 is moving out; while I don't know the reason behind it (I didn't ask), I would expect the blame to go on me as it has happened in the past by people who started the rumors floating around here & used those as an excuse behind the move.  I expect I'll hear from Charles on Monday if they are throwing the blame my way, which wouldn't really surprise me...  >.<

UPDATE:  Sent Charles an email today about the pollution that was coming from E28 last night, stating that I'm thinking the pollution might be originating there & traveling to other units (which would mean units that I previously "verified" as pollution coming from them might actually be victims in the same manner I am).  To my surprise, Charles responds via email again from his phone, stated once again to text him if it continues.  The fact that I am getting a response back from him (in a non-threatening manner) is a good thing because I rarely ever do (especially for a weekend), although I expect the only reason he's doing so is because I stated I was going to start taking care of the problem myself again.  I'll be sure to text him next time it's happening, regardless of how I'm feeling, whether my computer is still on or whether I'm woken out of a sound sleep hacking on pollution from cigarettes/drugs.
