Woohoo!! Today was my first day being FT at work! It was really awesome, I got to be myself and everyone just treated me normal. ;D :D
So glad that I'm presenting as my true self in another facet of my life. Only thing left now is being me around my kids.

Thanks all, it's really been a great experience so far. People have been treating me pretty much normal. There are a few that don't seem as talkative as normal, perhaps they are unsure how to talk to me now. I've been breaking the ice in those situations when I can. Overall though, I couldn't ask for a much better experience. It is such a relief to finally be presenting as myself at work, I'm very happy with where I'm at and how things are going. ;D

All I have left now is to tell my boys (my daughter already knows). I plan on speaking to them Sunday night. Then once they are ready I'll start seeing them as Alaia and will be 100% out in all areas of my life.

Great to hear.
Not sure what type of work environment, but I know what I'd be doing this weekend: making 3 ingredient fudge!!
Bring in the fudge Monday...they'll love you!

Every month I send my partner off to work with either fudge or homemade beef jerky...and then sit back and listen to the praises.

Wish I could look as great as you. You didn't tell your age or that of your kids (or how much they already realize).
