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
