CO-WORKER DISCOVERS MAN'S DOUBLE LIFE AT A NIGHTCLUB

DEAR ABBY: Recently I was at a club with friends and ran in-
to a co-worker. He was dressed in drag and introduced himself
as "Glenda." At work, he dresses like a male and goes by
"Glen."

Since that night he has been avoiding me and cutting conver-
sations short, if not ignoring me altogether. Should I let
him know I'm OK with his alternate persona, or let it be? I
don't want to risk awkward situations.
-- SYMPATHETIC IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA

DEAR SYMPATHETIC: I don't know how large your company is or
how much contact you have with Glen. If the answer is it's a
large company and contact is minimal, then let it be. If you
have contact with Glen frequently, and his embarrassment is
having an impact on your work relationship, then clear the
air by letting him know that what happens after hours is his
business and you do not gossip. Period.



DEAR ABBY: My sister, "Gina," recently became engaged to her
longtime boyfriend. A few days after hearing about the engage-
ment, I sent her an e-mail telling her my husband and I were
free every weekend except Oct. 8, 9 and 10 because a dear
friend had asked me months ago to be a bridesmaid in her
wedding that weekend. I have already bought the dress and
had it altered. I called Gina to explain the situation after
sending the e-mail.

Yesterday, I spoke with my father and found out that Gina
has chosen Oct. 9 for her wedding day, even though I told her
I couldn't make it then. Gina wants me to be her matron of
honor because she was my maid of honor.

Clearly, I cannot participate in two weddings on the same
day at the same time in different locations. Who do I say
no to?
-- DREADING WEDDINGS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

DEAR DREADING: Let me get this straight. You warned your
sister that you would be unavailable on a certain weekend,
she chose that date for her wedding anyway, and you had to
hear the news from your father? Could there be more going
on with your relationship with your sister than you men-
tioned in your letter? Perhaps she felt "obligated" to have
you in her wedding party because she was in yours?

From my perspective, you should thank your sister for her
kind offer and remind her that you had already told her you
would be unavailable that weekend. That way, you're both
off the hook.

DEAR ABBY: I work in a small office, and every day a co-
worker's adult child who works nearby comes here to have
lunch with her mother. She knows everyone's business as if
she worked here, and we're forced to order her something
when we get takeout. Frankly, we're tired of it. How can
we put a stop to this without hurting anyone's feelings?
-- ONE MORE FOR LUNCH

DEAR O.M.F.L.: It appears the line between "family" and
"business" has become blurred. The co-worker who is closest
to the mother should approach her privately and say, "You
should know that your daughter coming here every day is
creating hard feelings in the office. If you want to have
lunch with her every day, then you should be doing it out-
side the office. During our lunch time, we want to talk
about things that are personal, and her presence makes that
difficult."
