I told my manager at work today the reason why I've been so down and anxious the past two months...I hadn't intended to, but she was genuinely concerned and asked how I was after she noticed I was in full on hiding in the hoody mode™ and it just seemed to be the right thing to do, especially as I was trying to explain things without explaining things.
It was really positive, we talked about the best way to move forward, a little discussion about time scales and I found out that not only does the HR team at the company I work for have experience with TS people, so does Sharon, as she was a manager at a company where someone came out as a cross dresser. It almost feels like that the big scary hurdle I'd imagined this to be from a distance actually turned out to be a ruler balance between a couple of match boxes...I hardly had to leap at all. hehe
so yeah, my day has held an unexpected milestone and I'm sooooo glad that it's done now. Yay!
And thank you again to Jenny, for her words of wisdom and a much needed pep talk...once we'd sorted out the time dilation effect that occurs when you make a mobile call to the west country. hehe
