Title: On the job front
Post by: SailorMars1994 on March 24, 2017, 07:51:05 PM
Well I got some good news and I am unsure if I have mentioned it yet to ayone but! I am soon to be starting my new job. Its a kitchen job on CFB Petawawa. I have been eyeing this job since January. I have been in the process within the last few weeks of playing cat and mouse more or less having to give all my info and do a relaiabilty screening, I kinda already knew I had this in the bag last week, but it is official I got it!! This will be for a 90 day contract, but I can use this for a permanment position for a Military base kitchen just out side of Brandon. This will be also my first above minimum wage job, as it pays 17 dollars an hour 8 hours a day :D!!!

They knew I am trans. I dono what came over me but I chose to do my intake and screening as a female, dressed up, hair straightend, good make-up and lovin myself :) They seem pretty cool about my transness too :D!

I am so happy this has came to be. Its amazing that even having had mega issues with my trans idenity for the longest time and aswell being a bit autistic I thought i was going to be, for a lack of a better word screwed for a long time. But, so much good has been happening latley. On wednesday when I did the intake i litterly allowed my real femininity side to be shown and  felt so euphoric I felt light at times sitting in that chair . I love my life :)


Thanks for being with me for this journey y'all <3

Thanks girls <3

This really is something I am happy about. My journey of self care has turned into a future seeing. I still get those 10 minutes of hard doubt at times, but not too long after I am back to where and who i am! I stopped my drinking, been griding hours at work, taking care of myself all that good stuff. In addition, I am finding all my goals i ad before my doubt monster meltdown are coming back! I love poltics and am still oddly enough of member of a poltical party in the next province over from when i lived there... when I move back, I am going to put my passion in it <3

But yes, OMG this job i am so happy :D!!

Thanks! I also relzied why I was having a pity party a couple weeks ago or so. I ran out and stopped taking my meds for my autism which increased those meltdowns as I was already in a state of being in capivity of negativity and being in a  very anxious and irritable state that leads to the meltdowns i was mentioning. I have came to relize they are just as important to take as my HRT, even if I dont want to be on them. But I am still doing and going ahead with my self help! Well back on them(ASD meds) and taking my HRT at roughly the same time each day and learning to breath has taken me a long ways!! I am just so greatful at this moment. But now the hard work starts, working my arse off and giving them a reason to give me a great reference like my current job will :)!

Amazing to hear :)
I'm working a contacted job that lasts until May, but I'm not out there. My HRT effects are likely to become much more noticable at that time, so I'm stressing about finding my next job.

Gives me hope :3
