Parents are not always level-headed.
To say the least. When I came out to my parents (at age 28, not to mention 10 years after I went off to school and, really, stopped being an everyday physical presence in their lives), their response was to (1) tell me that I was not gay, because they knew me too well to believe that was possible, and (2) to seek psychiatric treatment.
I spent several days writing back, to make sure I was being reasonable (and both of my beta readers told me I'd succeeded). Their response to that started, "We don't know how you could have written such a mean-spirited letter."
The situation went downhill from there.
I'm so excited! I was their last interview, and the director of the school was there, so after my sample lesson, the principal asked me if I wanted the job, and I did!
It's a great school, and I'm getting a great salary...I'm SO excited. I get to develop my own curriculum -- anything I want. The principal is all "the more creative, the better! Take risks!"
Congrats to Erin and LJ on the job situations!!!!
Congratulations to Erin and LJ. You sure didn't need to use that job~ma long, Erin.
Happy anniversary, Connie! 19 is quite an accomplishment.
Considering that the box my mom sent me for Christmas this year, which arrived in January, contained items she's been "meaning to send" for three Christmasses - including, I kid you not, a 2003 calendar, birthdays and anniversaries that get celebrated sometime in the right year are ok with me.
