Vixie, I got a ring I can let you borrow. I'll make a short side-trip while on my way to Mordor.

*Waves at Rysky, and the other wonderful folks here*

I’ll do my best to be visible today, but taking a leaf out of Kyonin’s book, I’ve got a fairly involved network of invisibility fields and such already in place. :)

Between a labour meeting that just ended (marginally hopeful, but since that’s political, I won’t say anything more about it), and the last half of the batch of exams I need to grade in the next couple of days, on top of everything else, I’m probably going to disappear into my office today. Tomorrow afternoon, I am giving a work-in-progress version of a talk about Amazons that I hope ends up very queer indeed in the next stage of the project, so I’ll be flickering in and out of sight. *Casts blink* :)

Well, more sad and deeply disappointed than actual hatred. I should have seen this coming, especially after they denied my request for two days off earlier this month. That they decide to "punish" the guards for them not having sufficient personnel is what ticks me off. So, I have to decide whether to leave a sinking ship early, or stay until the bitter end.

Once one has decided to change something in their life, the only regret is not deciding to change this earlier.

That said, sometimes the will to change one's life takes time to coalesce.

Do not lose hope and make the change when you feel ready ;-)

Day of silence is tomorrow but our teachers have a professional development day (which they describe as "school for teachers") so we don't have school. :/

Thanks, Raven.

Not local, but I could try to send luck from the frozen north. Hold still! “First I must sprinkle you with fairy dust,” as the saying goes. :)

I hope everyone else had a good day too: I’m slowly getting through the work that needs to be done for the end of term, and while the talk I’m working on needs a bit of tweaking, that is part of what the practice run tomorrow is all about, and it is, I’d like to think, close to where it needs to be, at least in this incarnation.

Good luck, Qunnessaa! (that Amazon talk sounds really cool :3)

Hope everyone has a good Friday and as little stress as possible for Day of Silence.

It's Friday! Yay!

Going to see Avengers: Infinity War tomorrow and hopefully win the Dead Pool we got running at work. (No spoilers please for anyone who may have already seen it or are planning to see it between now and tomorrow night.)

The travails of modern retail:

So we have a manager at work who is pushing retirement. They really AREN'T a good manager, they presume that they can have anyone call them on a phone and then said anyone will do anything they're told.

They paged for me to head up to the registers **when I was in the bathroom, after they'd been informed I was IN THE BATHROOM (TWICE), and then had the audacity to insist that I didn't get to the registers once my business was done.

If that wasn't the cherry on the top of shite sundae (literally, in this case), towards the end of the day said manager confronted me in front of a bunch of associates No consideration for discipline in private, praise in public there, and violation of company policy to boot. saying "If you're not going to bother showing up to ring, just call me at *extension*".

And he's giving me this really weird and creepy look as he's doing it.

...

At which point I asked him politely (three times, even) if it was acceptable to call him on an outside line via my cel-phone. And his response was "Oh, no, there's plenty of phones in the store, just use one of them."

...

"So... how am I supposed to call from the bathroom?"

"You shouldn't've been in the bathroom for half an hour. Just call me. Your write-up is on **Good Manager's Desk**".

Bad manager does not understand nor realize that I've been through crappy managers (pun fully intended) enough that I utilize my chain of command.

The next day I showed up well before my shift and talked to Good Manager basically with a synopsis of above and also 'WTF'. The look on said manager's face, while not priceless, was informative, as he would say straight up if there was a concern.

Yesterday not a single word from Bad Manager.

Told both Good Manager and Unit Manager was willing to treat it as a 'bad day', but am keeping an eye and ear open in case it should happen again.

Hug requested. One hug only, please.

Looks like CrystalSeas beat me to the hug. What can I do. Oh, I know.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Passing along my share of hugs to Thomas Seitz on another thread. A good friend of his was murdered a few days ago. ;_;

Yeah, thanks John.

You need them more than I right now.

Well not sure about that...but it is appreciated. I'd probably re-route them to my friend's family since they're the ones most impacted by this horrific and senseless tragedy.

Well I didn't get to run like I THOUGHT I might Saturday...but Sunday was book keeping day for the party. That and Einar MIGHT have attempted friendship with the half orc paladin of Torag raised by dwarves... And might not have done THAT badly.


Good morning, everyone.

Good Morning, John.

* sends out army of skittermanders to spread love and hugs, with an extra-special hug for Thomas Seitz and his friend's family*

Saw Infinity War this weekend. It was awesome. The 2 hours just flew by. It did not end the way I expected.


My mother loved the movie. Wish it were next year already.

I had Monday that I didn't feel like killing people. So...I guess so?

Sounds like a win to me, Tom.

Depends. If your job is killing people and you're just not up for it that day ...

Even Mercenaries need time off.


If I had the resources for it, the image on this page would be my Cosplay. By the way, the weapon is a portable Fusion Gun. #TravellerRPGRocks

Hello, John. How are you doing today?

* sends out skittermanders to spread the hugs and love *

Hmmmm....
I don't see Rysky.
Guess I better double-up on the hugs and positive vibes.

* sends out second wave of skittermanders to spread the hugs and love *


Doing alright. Went to a store to pick up a mixer for my mother. I let her pick the color. Her last one broke. Enjoying my day off.

Been a while since I last posted.
Lots of fun/happy/stressful/paradigm shifting stuff happening in my life, for the most part, uphill yet productive.

To stay on topic of this forum: So I attend on a semi-regular basis (starting back 2006ish), until recently, a weekly TransSupport mtg. It was crucial to my self-realization and confidence. It remains an inclusive positive get-together for MtF, FtM and Genderfluid. Everyone there is at different stages in transitioning, which is rather nice seeing the mentoring and sharing of lessons learned, references etc.
(Foreshadowing: can ya hear the but?)

But, we had a couple of crossdressers show up (still under Trans umbrella in my book) and while welcomed could not help but notice a subtle disapproval. Could not understand why as we all started somewhere. That is when I noticed a subtle shift, the pressure across the board to seek out and start HRT with end goal of SRS.

So I started my process, not quite a good match, legit health concerns of my own plus my relationship with fiance (fully disclosed and supportive). She does have certain expectations and HRT would impact those expectations and of course concerns regarding my safety and potential employablity( I currently keep work and social very separate) Put it all on backburner, will revisit at my discretion.

SO in the meantime, dealing with inner turmoil, I know my transmtg will inquire into my HRT status in a nice polite cheerleader way. Not gonna deflect, but would like to squash the expectation that SRS and fulltime is not the endgoal of all who attend.

Thank you for letting me vent.
hugs for all.

You're welcome to vent anytime. I've got two ears perfect for listening.

Oh, it's finally Friday. Yay!

Hugs and Love for all!

Yay! Friday. [sarcasm]The end of another Glorious Week in not so much of a Paradise.[/sarcasm]


Case in point. A relief valve for the garage plumbing (in the "Security Office" no less) just started spraying out water. *sigh* I'll have to call it in.

The water pressure coming into the garage is at 90 PSI when it.s supposed to be 60. Wonderful. More problems.

Spent the weekend taking care of my mother in law, who just had a knee replacement surgery and promptly broke her tibia thereafter.


I hope your mom heals swiftly.
