Awesome News!

So, I talked with my one of my bosses today and the meeting went wonderfully. I've known him for about 4 years now and when I told him today that I was transitioning he just listened and then said thank you for telling him, because he knew how hard it is to come out to people and the fact I told him made him feel good. He also said that "Anything I can do, let me know. I want to help a friend out anyway I can". It really made my day to hear that; it also means that I won't have any trouble with work anymore. Besides the fact that the law and company policies prohibit any from happening, he will just make sure things work out. The best part of talking with him was he said he is still looking for a position to open up for a supervisor position, and he wants me to have it! In the mean time he is going to see about getting me a small raise to start helping me with the bills.

I cannot address strongly enough how much it means to have people there to help you along. It is hard to tell them sometimes, but find those few people who are open-minded first, let them help you build a wall of confidence around yourself so that when you need to deal with people who might have a problem, they will help. There is always someone out there willing to help.

Well, Here we go.

Today I am going to be talking with one of my upper echelon bosses at work. The good news is I have known him for a few years now, since he and I came from another security company together. One of my friends who is going through things similar to my own has talked to him in the past and he had no problems. So, that is the good news; bad news is I have been sick all night last night and am dreading staying up late to talk to him; the bed is calling to me. : P

It needs to be done though; if I talk to him, I can begin to figure out what I need to do to make the switch over at work. I am reaching close to 8 months now and I think I want to make the final jump to Lyndsey by the time my 1 year mark hits. After that, I can focus on the more expensive parts of transition. Namely: surgery.  I have been thinking of getting an Orchiectomy to lower the amount of testosterone blockers I need. While my health is good (other than being sick right now), it will also cut down on some of my risks from medications.

Anyways, until next time,
Thanks to everyone who has been reading.

So, the Holidays are Finally Over

I am sorry I have not been posting very much recently, but tis the season to get nothing done. Thank you for finally being over. All and all, the past couple of weeks have been good; just steady progression. I did however have to stop going to my meetings over at the GIC for the time being, as I was coming home from a friends house and someone forced me on to the median screwing up my front driver's wheel. So, until that is fixed, I am stranded, mostly. I have been lucky enough to get to work and some friends places via Light rail and bus, but it is expensive! I have though been going to a cafe in downtown Denver with some friends for a thing they are calling "Drink and Draw". Just a place to hang out and have a coffee or hot chocolate while drawing. There have been so many people and I have been learning so much.
I should have a new set of measurements and pics up within the week, plus I am finally putting up some links to other sites. Yay!

I hope things are going well for everyone!
