Today, pt. II

Three word review: It went well!

I want to thank everyone for their words of support. That meant everything to me. Sorry I didn't reply; I had a lot going on!

I met with my manager and we spoke for about fifteen minutes, then brought the division's HR Director in, and the three of us spoke for about half an hour more, including that we would try to have one big meeting with everyone who needed to be involved on the management/administrative side. HR Director went off to make her calls and 45 minutes later I had a meeting with my manager and his manager.

Finally, HR Director came back with information that the meeting will probably be sometime next week.

Edit to fix some really basic and bizarre typos of the sort I've been making all day.

Thanks, sis! I really appreciate all of the help you gave me. Okay, the big part was the shove to jump in, but I badly needed that!

Whew! Very glad to hear it. I hope the rest goes smoothly, too.

[agent_dani]

Thank you. I'm hopeful.

Sorry I didn't wish you luck yesterday, I was too sick to get to a computer, but I was thinking good thoughts westward.

Anyway, I'm so glad it turned out well. I was fairly optimistic considering other things you've said, but of course one never knows entirely.

So, what is the next transition step for you?

[agent_dani]

Dear, we've had so many conversations I *knew* you were even if you couldn't type the messages.

The "never know" point was the thing. "Expect the unexpected" was how it was once put to me - most people will be about as you think, but some will not, and it goes both ways.

Honestly, I'm not sure once this set (name change, etc.) is over. I think I want a bit of time of not thinking about transition and just living (as Danielle, of course!)

I think that's a good idea. The big two - work and love - are dealt with now, so you can spend some time riding your bike, cuddling your wife, and just being you without having to fake things.

Yes. I need to be and enjoy being in the permanent phase, having moved on from permatemp of gender. As you may recall, my first steps of transition were the better part of three years ago, which has really been too long for me.
