wow. i thought the ad was stupid and wonky in the regular lounge, but in the blogs it's just obnoxious. today was a good day. i got to come back to the welding shop, which was nice, it's not looking like i'm going to be back past friday, but i might be suprized. who knows. but what made the day was walking towards one of the loading doc, and a delivery woman, smiled -- beamed, really-- upon seeing me, and said, "it's a girl! i never see a girl working here in the shop!" it made my day. as silly as it sounds, it's still shocking to me when i pass. see i started my transition i had a punk rock fuck you kinda attitude. i never thought i'd pass. i didn't really try. i rarely, and still rarely dress up, wear dresses or skirts. sure i love make up, but i never wear foundation. and my skin has hyper pigmentation in the goatee areas. while my face is feminine, i always assume everybody knows, and is just being polite. so for this lady it wasn't a matter of being polite. she didn't know me from er... adam? and it's not that i'm all gussied up. i'm in a wood and metal shop, fer chrissakes, fabricating museum displays. here is my usual outfit, which i was wearing today: workboots or sneakers shapeless, almost oompa loompa-esque oversized overalls, a thick, oversized hoodie underneath, head scarf ski cap so it wasn't that i was wearing a skirt and heels. it wasn't that my hair or wig was all fancified. it wasn't. i was half covered in millscale dust. my skin probably looked slightly greyed. it's a girl! why yes, it is!  but now i'm thinking, since i will be back on the unemployment roles on monday, that perhaps i ought to go back to dispatching, since i found an ad for a good paying position doing hvac work. which might be the right ticket. since the grinding i spent all day doing hurt my elbow and the wrist that i shattered a few years ago. as much as i like all the learning i'm doing, and the physical work, i think it might be time to jump ship. which sucks. it's been just over a year since i went to welding school. *sigh* but i do like the idea of getting the hang of business casual, and learning that girly girl thing. as well as finishing all of that transition stuff. fingers officaly crossed.
