An Uneventful Day

Today was a pretty uneventful day. This morning it was cold, dreary, and wet. It had started raining at some point during the night. I woke up to the sound of the alarm clock going off. I got up and yelled for the kids to wake up. It usually takes a couple of times for them to actually get up kinda like me. I hate mornings. I have never been much of a morning person. The kids finally got up and got dressed and I took them to school. I first dropped of my middle child, Brighton at his school, then the oldest Novian at his school and last but not least I took my daughter, Serenity to her school. I always go in and talk to her teachers for a few minutes in the morning as well as stay and have snack with Serenity's classmates in the evening. Keep in mind Serenity is in preschool. They are all great kids there. Today after I got home from dropping off the kids at school I came home and checked both my Fetlife account and my Facebook account. Nothing new on either of them I only get a few messages here and there, nothing major. So i then posted in a couple of the groups that I am a member of on each of the sites about my new blog. Trying to get word out about it so that it will increase in popularity as well as educate others out there about the things that I and others like me will go through. I also hope that by increasing knowledge about us, it will also increase acceptance. I have a great group of friends and aquaintences that know and are completely accepting of it, but I know of many others that are shunned and ridiculed about being transgender. My greatest support is my beautiful wife. She is starting up a blog as well to explain about her feelings and thoughts about this whole process as well.

  Well to continue on I had a call about a possible job at 10 Am so I went downstairs and started picking up the living room and cleaning the kitchen when my call came in. I listened to the call. it was an hour long presentation about a business called Melaleuca. It was kind of like one of those pyramid schemes. Sign others up and make money off of thier orders type thing. I looked at thier products and they seem to have great products, which i myself might order some of eventually. However at this time I declined to get involved with one of these programs. So I finished washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen up. Then I came back up to the computer and checked my email. Just a bunch of junk email and spam. Go figure. I spent about an hour doing that. At 12 pm I started getting cleaned up for my second job interview at Teletech. I cleaned off the eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara that I had on and got cleaned up. Put on my dress pants and a pink dressshirt with a purple tie. and my dress shoes. I brushed out my hair real good and put it back into a ponytail. My interview at Teletech was at 2 pm. Needless to say I did not get to pick up Serenity from school today. Our roommate Zaq picked up both Brighton and Serenity today.

 I left the house about 1 pm as I had an errand to run before I went to the interview. I had to drop off some paperwork downtown at the Family Support Divisional Office. I go into the office and there are only about 5 people ahead of me, so i figured I had time to wait in line. it is only about 1:10 pm at this point. So I got in line and was waiting. The office only had two windows open helping people out of four windows. I am waiting in line and I see them both periodically get up and disappear into the back room for minutes at a time. I know this is typical but when you are in a hurry it is extremely frustrating. The would finish helping a person and then instead of calling the next person up they would wait around for what seemed like eternity before calling next. I am sure they were just filing thing in the computer or making notes or something but it still felt like it was forever.  I finally got out of there at 1: 37 pm and my 2 pm appointment was all the way across town. I was not sure if I was going to be able to make it to my interview in time. I was trying to drive as quickly as I could ther but it seemed that every slow person driving or every red light would pop up in front of me. I wanted them to move over into the other lane and stay out of my way. I finally got to Teletech about 5 min before I was supposed to be there so I guess I mad good time. I checked in with security there and the security guard told me to have a seat. i sat down and posted a status on Facebook through my phone. No sooner did I finish that then the other applicants and Igot called over to do some assessments on the computer. These were fairly easy as well as fairly standard. You know the ones that ask you to put whether you agree, disagree or are nuetral and so forth on the first one. The second one was fun. it was all about navigating a computer. I am fairly decnt with computers so. And then the third one of course was similation of calls and system navigation. I guess i did pretty good because after that I got to do the interview. The interview was the strangest interview I have ever done. It was through an automated system that read you the questions and recorded your answers. We are going way to much toward automated systems.  I finished the interview and then went home. It was pouring down rain rather heavy when I left and by the time I got home it had slowed to a drizzle agian. The kids were all home by the time I got home and boy were they cranky.

Both Serenity and Brighton were whiny. Tiff who is my significant other/wife was making dinner. She had made meatball marinara sandwiches which are very good. She is a divine cook.  While she was cooking I folded laundry and put it away. then I got changed, ate dinner and watched a some Adventure time on Netflix. About 5:15 pm we had to get ready to go to the gym, as Brighton, Serenity, and Novian all three have sports classes.  Zaq had brought Brighton to his class earlier so we met them there and then took Serenity to her class. I watched Serenity in her gymnastics class and read my book(Path of Daggers in the Wheel of Time series) for a little bit. After Serenity's class was over I brought Brighton and Serenity home while Tiff and Zaq stayed ther waiting for Novian to get done with his karate class. When we got home I got Brighton to lay out his clothes, and Serenity got in the bath, while I wrote this Blog entry.

As you can see it is a pretty uneventful day no different then most other peoples. A transgender whether he or she is a male to female or a female to male is no different. We are all still people with lives and responsibilities as well.

So please feel free to comment, share, and/or follow on this blog.
Also feel free to visit my site as well. It has many resources and I will keep adding more about transgender or for transgender.
