I'm meeting with the regional manager sometime next week to see if I'm the right person for the new supervisor position at DB. I hope he doesn't ask why I'm not on a mission.

Tonight while I was restocking I was in the Self Improvement section and ran accross In Quiet Desperation and other books dealing with Same-Gender Attraction that we carry...so, I started thinking (never a good thing) Umm what do I say to someone who brings up that book? What should I say, what should I do? I want them to know they're people out there who understand...but I also don't need any more rumors flying round Prozac Valley about me.

This whole supervisor thing really has my plan messed up, can I really just up and hopefully transfer stores 4 months after I get a promotion? I still want to go to the LDSBC, but now my crystal clear plan that seemed so perfect doesn't seem so anymore.

I think I need to buy the book The Zeezrom Syndrome (?) I think that's what it's called, anywho, I need a spiritual drop kick in the face, and the courage to go talk to my bishop...that could help.


on a different note

My birthday present to myself (the macbook) will FINALLY be here tomorrow.


Okay I think I've properly mulled everything over, time for bed!

You say, "I think this is a really great book. I found it well-written and very touching. When you finish reading it, I'd love to hear what YOU think."

Then, depending on the response, you give him/her your contact info, and go home and pray. Sometimes, you might even get an email address, and you can always send a reminder: "Hey, just wondering if you were able to finish that book yet. What did you think? It's a pretty amazing story."

Yeah, I know you were probably just being rhetorical, but truthfully, what a great way to make a connection with someone who might really need to talk.

Good luck with your planning--you might want to spend some time talking to the BIG GUY--I hear He knows everything... :)

Have I ever told you that you are my hero... Though it would be a bit of a drive because they live in Price ;-).

Personally, I found it really beneficial when I came out to my first member, she was in the same boat and revealed that to me after I began talking to her... really helped to know that I wasn't alone. :-) You'll know the right thing to do when the moment comes.
