Here's hoping!

I have an interview on Tuesday afternoon for this position at Southeast, Inc.:

HIV Case Manager
Full-time position available to provide outreach case management to persons with HIV disease. Will link clients to community resources in a 7 county area. LSW and previous similar experience or knowledge of HIV disease required.

There is no mention of what the salary is, and that scares me. However, Southeast is an okay agency - it's queer-friendly(ish) and hires some queer people. My beloved Patty from Phoenix Pride is employed there (I think I need to call her tomorrow), and I actually did a little piece of my MSW I internship there (I made sure to mention that to the woman on the phone, I'm so slick, "I think I met you before..." etc.). My internship experience there was positive - I was observing groups for domestic violence perpetrators, and everyone there was really nice to me.

I didn't apply for a specific position. There were several case management positions open and when I emailed my resume, I just asked to be considered for one of the available positions. I feel like my Big Gay Resume spoke for me on this one. I'm hoping for good things - decent salary, good benefits, good working environment, and that the job doesn't suck as much as some case management jobs do. We'll see! :)

Good luck!!!

[I know what is like to have a Big Gay Resume; I left my undergrad with a Portfolio of Big Gay Papers, and I'm going to leave my M.A. program with a Big Gay Transcript and more Big Gay Papers. Hopefully, those will get me into a Big Gay Ph.D Program. It's all about The Gay.]

Thanks, Madame Zuzu!

[I also have a portfolio if Big Gay Papers, though mine are mostly Big Gay Policy Issues and Big Gay Therapy.]

My Big Gay Papers are of two sorts: queer readings of canonical texts (such as Frankenstein and The Scarlet Letter), or queer readings of non-canonical/obviously gay texts (Adrienne Rich poetry, more Adrienne Rich poetry, gay/lesbian young adult fiction, more Adrienne Rich poetry, lesbian films, Adrienne Rich poetry).

Yeah. That's how it works.

You know, the other day I added Vampyros Lesbos to my Netflix rental queue in honor of you and dolphingirl99.

[zuzubailey76.livejournal.com]

Yay! I used to be very very scared of lesbian vampire films, but dolphingirl99 helped me get over that. Now I can analyze them from a distanced, theoretical perspective. Have you ever seen The Hunger? It's my favorite.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

No, I've never seen The Hunger. I'll add it to the queue! :)

LESBIAN VAMPIRE MOVIE NIGHT!

The Hunger contains the goblin king.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

My David Bowie? THAT gobin king?

[mythicalbeast.livejournal.com]

Is there another Goblin King?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm... David Bowie. The only man I can think of who gets sexier as he gets older.

Mmmm.

[gangrel-pri.livejournal.com]

WOW!!!

Good Luck!!!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sir.

Good luck! I hope it doesn't suck the way case management often does...on the other hand, it's easier to find a job when you have a job...and helping people with HIV rocks!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yes. I was telling Mel that I sure hope it's not as sucky as the usual case management job. If it /is/ straight case management, it had better pay better than I'm hoping!

(Which it won't. I wish I wasn't getting desperate.)

Good Luck, Good Twin!

You will get the job, because you... because. Well. You rock. And you are a sexy boy.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

And you are a sexy boy.

That means so much to me, I don't know if I can even express it.

<3!

[yarnaddict.livejournal.com]

*HUGS* I less-than-three you, too. =)

And it's true... I mean, when I think of Jude... that's how I think of you. You're witty, you're thoughtful, what you post almost always makes me think (which is always good), you're strong, you're complex and deep... and you're a sexy boy.

Meep!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I could almost be blushing. Thanks, Evil Twin. :)

You, on the other hand, are sweet, and complex, and harried, and you don't post enough. :)
