Upon discovery, I emailed my mom to share the good news:
[Bestest Friend] is my emergency contact at work. So … if I drop dead or something, expect to receive the news from her.
I didn’t remember listing my Bestest Friend as my emergency contact until I checked my company profile today, saw her name and remembered how, when I was filling out the form over two years ago, we were emailing back and forth and I said, “I’m going to list you as my emergency contact!” and she was all, “Ooo, yes! Do it!”
I find it awesome; my mom asked if she could perhaps advocate for another choice.

Aw, poor mum. You do get to an age when it seems odd to be listing your mum. But you realise the HR people think you’re gay?
