I had flu over the weekend and ended up taking two days off work. I'm still a little tired and maybe I went to work one day earlier than I should have, but I also had a quiet and nice day at work today ( Read more... )

OK, for a while I've known that I've had a retrospective diagnosis of Aspergers from the GIC. I've talked about it a little bit and my general feeling has been that, while it's great that I have this, it's really not helpful to me now. A huge part of my personality is tied up in my empathic and emotionally sensitive abilities. Abilities which, ( Read more... )

Yey! I survived for one half of a term. I now have a week off and I need it ( Read more... )

Life in school was a bit crazy this week. I'm not really sure why I felt I needed to, but I was getting a little bit uptight and worried over how they wanted me to handle trans stuff at school. I kinda realised that the last post was crap and that if I didn't actually have the freedom to confirm or deny, then I'd go nuts and kill myself ( Read more... )

I have no idea how life is running at the moment. I feel like I'm on the verge of a total nervous breakdown, but I never quite actually get to one. Half of my indicators are saying that I'm in imminent danger of going nuts, the other half indicate I've never felt better or more sane or stable. Which is true or what is happening, I don't know, ( Read more... )

Meh, I'm starting to lose it. I arranged to meet some people at the British Museum for it's late opening tonight and I completely forgot. Having said that, although I feel very guilty, I'm too tired to actually feel much in the way of guilt, which just shows how tired out I am by the whole thing ( Read more... )

On Tuesday, I had a meeting with my line manager and superior on the teaching side. What is scary is that I apparently exceeded expectations. The students respect me, they come to me for help and they generally like me too. I enjoyed knowing that and I celebrated that afterwards at TransLondon by getting pretty drunk. It's weird being ( Read more... )

So, I was saying how the school I'm at has triggered full flashbacks to my secondary school days and that it's been a bit disconcerting trying to focus through all of that. So, I thought I'd try and talk about some of the things that are flashing through my head ( Read more... )

One of the things that being at school is confusing me is the use of Miss and Sir when teachers talk to each other in front of kids (or otherwise). I've been finding it a bit weird and finding it difficult to use and I've been trying to understand why. Then it occurred to me that, as I socialise a lot with trans and gender variant people, it's ( Read more... )

I've managed to survive my first week at school. This is something I'm immensely proud of, because survive is the word, and it's looking like the first week is the worst, and that it's going to get better ( Read more... )
