Wanted: One BGJ

[judecorp]

I went out on a limb last night and e-mailed one of the presenters from my volunteer training, because she'd mentioned that she'd worked in the LGBT community professionally for over 20 years. I didn't think it was appropriate to ask her about it during her presentation on transgender issues, so I e-mailed her personally and asked her if she had any suggestions/tips for me to break into the community professionally here in Boston, or if she would be willing to be my activism mentor. And she said yes! She told me to call her tomorrow to set up a time to talk, and I am SO going to do it!

Big Gay Job, here I come! No one can ever say I don't try. I'm nervous to call tomorrow, but I'm so glad I e-mailed her! :)

p.s. I finished off Peas's szechuan chicken tonight for dinner, also risky because I've never tasted that before. It was delicious and filling, but I rather wish she was still here to eat it herself. Bummer.

p.p.s. Former Coworker Sarah called me today to tell me she missed me and that I hate her for not calling her ever. Come to find out she was having problems with her phone and didn't get my previous calls asking if SHE hated ME since she wasn't calling me back. Yay! No haters!

Hi!

Do you have any interest in being an "Intervention Specialist" at a Suburban Middle School? You'd have Big Gay Coworkers and Big Gay Clients.

What exactly does it mean to be an "Intervention Specialist" at a Suburban Middle School? And when you say suburban, where are you talking about?

I like Big Gay Coworkers and Big Gay Clients!

Give me which email you'd want me to send the posting to. Basically, you'd be somewhere between the "So you want to change your Electives" and "So I hear you've been beating Billy up" Guidance Counselor and the "Welcome to the Asylum, may I give you your Thorazine" Counselor.

The suburb in particular would be Sharon, MA. And I suppose I should specify that they're only *presumed* Big Gay Clients. All of our gay kids could be perfectly well-adjusted for all I know.

You can send it to judecorp at gmail. I will certainly check it out! Sharon's not /terribly/ far, and in the opposite direction of traffic.
