what makes a man?

2 Jobs

I’m going back to the retail flower shop this summer - 5th year, woof - and I came out to them as a part of my terms of coming back. It went over really well, actually. I stopped by yesterday to pick up my new uniform and my manager was talking to me in the office and mentioned that they had a managers meeting with the head of human resources about “prepping” for my return. She mentioned that they were briefed on “my situation” and how it is handled appropriately in the workplace. My manager also said that one of the other managers - known for being a complete and TOTAL ASSHOLE to everyone, who will go out of his way to make your life a LIVING HELL actually stood up for me during the meeting. He said that if any of the managers should hear anyone bad mouthing me that they need to be written up and reported directly to him so he can resolve the situation. He was my biggest worry about going back - well the bathrooms too - but he’s actually fighting for me in my corner. Feels great.

Anyway, that being said, I was supposed to start this month 5-close Monday through Fridays and only three days a week. After that, we’ll see where things take me. I didn’t anticipate working before June, so I decided that all of the money I get from this second job will go straight into my top surgery fund. So far, I’ve got 2 of the 6 grand I need, and it’s all happened in the last month. So things are looking up. I’m hoping to get top surgery done in August, or else I might have to wait until Christmas time, but that’s only if I get this long term subbing job I’m interviewing for next week. 

Things are looking up!
