Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
It makes me really happy that this article about former dot commers working for traditional businesses references a gay family as incidental information.
Jumaquio, 29, said it took him a couple of weeks to get used to working just eight hours a day, compared to the 10- to 20-hour days he used to log leading teams of people from throughout the company. But now he appreciates spending more time with his partner, T Donlan, a furniture maker, and their 2-year-old adopted son, Wagner.
“I had a lot of guilt for not being able to be home as much as I should be. Now that I see the importance of it, I’m so much happier with the stability of a traditional company.”
I love that the reporter mentions Jumaquio’s family just as background information, and then gets back to the focus of the article. That’s how it should be: gay families no more worty of attention than single mothers or traditional het families.
