Title: My Boss Rocks!
Post by: sneakersjay on November 03, 2008, 10:26:26 AM
He's an eccentric older guy of about 75, a workaholic, pulling 12-14 hour days 6 days a week, I kid you not.  His phone rings off the hook at 6am.

Anyway I came out at work about 3 weeks ago to my manager, who took my packet to the manager's meeting and The Boss (the above mentioned older guy who owns the place).

This boss originally congratulated me and told me there would be no problems at all with me transitioning at work and shook my hand.  I'm still not out at work; managment is planning some sort of formal announcement.  So all of my coworkers call me FemaleName and She.  Bleh.

But this morning I was getting ready to leave work as he was arriving.  I held the door open for him.  And he said:  Thank you, Sir!

He may be eccentric, but he rocks!!

Jay

Congrats, I'm glad it won't be a problem for you at work. (At least for the most part)  :)

That's awesome Jay! My step-grampa is 78, and just my last Bday I got a "Happy Birthday Grandson" which my grama usually sends, but she made sure to call me and say "Your grampa wanted you to know he picked it out, and has been watching specials on tv about trans kids". It really made my day. They may be older, and out of the loop, but at least they try! Which says a whole LOT in todays world.

Nice going Jay.  I wish my father's parents were still alive.  The could probably beat some sense into my father's thick skull. :icon_punch:
