coolerbythelaketoday i went to portillos with some coworkers to celebrate one of their birthdays. did you know that they have a framed picture of Jack from Will and Grace alongside Dick Portillo in a Portillo's in the suburbs? i was kind of surprised to see it, and noted it to a coworker, and he was like, "i like him . . . ". i mentioned that he was from illinois, and another said, "i didn't know that," in a nice enough way.
during lunch i mentioned my non-dating adventure last night, and how it might be featured on 190 north. it felt good to acknowledge being single and also partially hint at teh gayness to them. just a friendly kind of self-disclosure. it never hurt anyone, and they seemed to receive it well.
i didn't get any, "omg, you're just like my brother! he was on 190 north, too!" comments, either.
i don't feel obligated to be out to everyone at work, but i've gone out to lunch with these people a few times, and they seem pretty cool.
maybe some day this will be old hat.
