My office-mate is out on maternity leave. This has been blessing; she is a real chatterbox and kind of drives me nuts. The woman who is taking her place is only here a couple of hours a week, so that's nice.
BUT! Today the replacement Came Out to me! I had no idea! Total gaydar failure!
She asked me about my bike ride home and we were talking about neighborhoods and what-not. She said that when she and her ex split up she moved to the west-side. Then, this: "My ex is a she."
I said, "You play for my team? Fantastic!" Now she wants me to hook her up and I am going to start looking... :-)

LOL Woot. :-)
Awesome sauce (as Deborah might say when she's not saying 'woot').
Have you told T?
That's awesome! Good times ahead.
Woots and awesomes all around!
elf: hahahahaha! no! but i will... and then watch her insecurities flare up.
And, really, I probably won't try to fix her up with someone... that so rarely ends well.
At one point at my last job we had a staff of 6, 5 of whom were gay. What are the chances??
Now I am all alone in queerdom. But in a very friendly, supportive space. Still, it would be nice to have some queer company. I think I'm alittle jealous.
This fills me with longing.
Not sure for what, exactly.
But longing.
I always watch people's faces when I share a sentence like, "My partner and I went to a good movie last night. She usually doesn't like my kind of films, but didn't fall asleep!"
Those faces tell it ALL.
I love the deliberate outing! My first rule of engagement at a new job, conference, workshop is find the other lesbian and fly my flag!
Found you through Maria's blog. Nice to meet you!
Welcome, Kristi! I don't have much to say, but I'm glad you stopped by.
:-)
