Hello Everyone::

This is a bit of an odd question...to begin, I have been volunteering at
a commercial gallery consistently from Sept 2000-April 2001 and have
been showing up at regular time and spending more time volunteering then
I had originally thought.  I am also the only volunteer at this
gallery.  I have enjoyed this experience and have looked up to the
curator, who will remain unnamed.  However, today I went in for my last
day to say "good bye" as I am only here for school (University), and now
that finals are done I am heading home.  This was known and it was nice
to get together to talk with the curator.  I should also mention that I
went in with my boyfriend whom he (the curator) has met previously (many
times as my boyfriend has at times dropped me off; the curator also
knows that we have been dating for a few years).  I should also mention
that the curator is gay, and is openly gay (by the way I do not have any
problems with this).  What happened is that he (the curator) ended up
asking my boyfriend for his number and his e-mail which my boyfriend
gave knowing that his number will be disconnected in two days as he is
moving too.  As for the e-mail he gave the wrong one. I don't know what
I should do or if I should do anything, this has caused me to feel
unappreciated, insulted and I feel strongly angry at myself for not
saying anything.  My boyfriend has been supportive and is insulted by
this curator, and feels that he is "not a good person".  This is
especially magnified, since he didn't ask for my contacts and made it so
blatantly obvious that he was "interested" only in my boyfriend, as he
numerously interrupted me to talk to my boyfriend.
I personally do not feel that this curator is useful in terms of
"resume/reference" and still feel deeply hurt by this event.  I guess
what I am asking then is for the museum-L subscriber to advise me if I
should do anything or not?  And if anyone has been in some similar
position what to do??
Thank you for all those who reply, your advice will be greatly
appreciated as I am left hurt by this incident.
