I was going to put this in the introductions section, but somehow it just seemed way ... morbid, so nah. My attention craving self will get more hits here anyway!

So it's been over six months now since I came home from the UK, and I'm still looking for work ... only I've not been, not the last while anyway. As the rejections and worse kept rolling in, I got more and more inclined to just log on and clutch out for a while, which meant even fewer hits on the jobsearch, which meant more clutching out ... you get the idea. It has to stop. It's like, when I was in the UK, my transition was motoring along at a massive pace, and then back in ZA, and it's come to a screeching halt. I dutifully take my HRT, I pass okay and stuff, but I'm letting everything happen to me at the moment, and that's no way to make a success of anything.
So yeah, I'm gonna be saying goodbye for a while and try and get on with Real Life for a while. Thank you all for your support, your advice, your cheerleading and just your friendship. Almost a year to the day since I joined, and seriously, I don't know if I'd have survived it if not for the people I met here.
