Hump Day

By Joe

It’s Wednesday, or Hump Day, but sadly, no one is humping me. 😂 I’m ready for this week to be over with and I only work half a day on Monday. My migraine seems to be better this morning, but I had to leave work early Monday and stayed home yesterday. Even with my headache better, I did not want to get out of bed, but alas, I need to go to work today. Not because I have anything to do at work, but I need to go to the pharmacy at lunch and pick up some prescription refills. If I’m going to drive into town, o might as well also work, or at least sit at my desk and appear to work.

I’m other news, I found out that I did not get the job I’d interviewed for a week or so ago. They decided to go with someone with more experience at a “high traffic” historic site. I can understand that as my museum numbers our visitors in the thousands while they measure theirs in millions. It was probably the nicest rejection email I’ve ever received. The director said she wish it could be better news as she enjoyed meeting me and getting the chance to chat. I thought that was pretty nice. As a friend of mine said, “It’s their loss, and a big one.” I’m not so sure that’s true, but I think I’d have been very good at the job.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
