Learning steps

Well, I kind of blew it. And kind of not, I guess. In the coming out essay I let some of my own paranoia through that people at work were playing games with Shandra and everything.

See, the thing about being a writer is that people might read what you write and react to it.

Anyway, I wanted to share that because one of the people involved (okay, my boss, 'cause she is cool about being involved & stuff) had the guts to talk to me about it we sorted out that she was definitely not playing any games with me or Shan or any combination thereof. Which is a relief, I guess. And I'm really sorry I was fast to leap to that conclusion. And she didn't ask me to change anything in that essay, and so although I was sorely tempted, I didn't. Yet anyway.

It was really, really neat to be able to get it on the table. And I would genuinely like to apologize for letting my fear throw my interpretation of how things are at work. As my boss said, that's where I was, so leave it. But now I've learned something if it comes up again.
