Lines: 30 *** 20 August 1984. I echo Steve's sentiments regarding being 'out at work', and feel fortunate that I can be far more 'open' in dealings with my co-workers than my lover can with his co-workers. (He works in the magazine publishing industry, which has not taken many awards for progressive thinking.) A potential 'problem' (I'm putting it in quotes because of uncertainty) occurs when promotions or other job changes require relocation. I haven't quite reached the point where I can say, "I'd like to request a transfer to location X because my SO is getting a promotion." (This is something I may have to work on.) Granted, this is occurring (perhaps with greater frequency) among heterosexual couples. But it's another facet of being 'out at work'. Checking back in after a lengthy absence (job switch and business-related travel), I remain -- yours truly, Mike Simpson -- -- your obedient servant, Mike Simpson, BBN msimpson@bbn-unix (ARPA) {decvax,ihnp4,ima,linus,wjh12}!bbncca!msimpson (Usenet) 617-497-2819 (Ma Bell)
