So I think it's been like two years since I've posted anything ( Read more... )

So the new job didn't actually start when it was supposed to - just a few days before I was supposed to start I got a phone call, a "yeah, some things still aren't worked out yet, so would you be able to start next Monday instead?" Part of me was freaked - was this in response to my questions to HR about being gender fluid? But the non-paranoid ( Read more... )

So after what seems like forever, I'm finally found a new position, and am moving on from my current firm. This Friday represents my last day at the old place, and I start on Tuesday. I'm obviously nervous moving on - the devil you know vs the devil you don't and all that - but I'm extremely excited too.

So I seem to be in a bit of a funk lately. It seems to be happening with some frequency, and I don't like it.

When I called this blog "Mental Diarrhea", the idea was that I tend to just expel my thoughts onto the page. And I don't know what it is, but that's just the way things go for me - no matter how many times I think I'm going to sit and write something focused, it always comes down to a post full of random crap ( Read more... )

As tends to happen, it seems that I end up logging in and thinking "I have things I want to say, but the thoughts are only loosely organized, so while I feel like I should address each topic as a post, I'm just going to brain dump". There's a reason I titled this blog "Mental Diarrhea". :-)

So, I had to come and brain dump a little.  I've been feeling kind of off, and I'm stuck at work where I can't really discuss it with anyone, but I can't just sit here and stew.

So as mentioned earlier, I've decided to start job hunting as Phoenix.  The idea started almost as a side comment with Ceri, but especially after talking with her, and with ( Read more... )

I just passed my birthday, although in a way it was two birthdays. Aside from turning 42, it was also two years ago at my 40th birthday party that Phoenix "came out" to the friends group. If you had asked me two years ago what life would have looked like now, I honestly don't think I would have foreseen this. Phoenix has become a much larger, a ( Read more... )
