So Far.....So Good!
Day's gone well...
Drove in, parked the car in my own new little parking place. Got in the office and was thrusted a cup of tea...
Now, this is novel; I'm usually the tea gal for the team.
I'm given a card and some flowers as a 'Congrats' type of thing. Again, very sweet. As we chatted a little, with me telling the team my little manifesto - get the work done, make it all light and upbeat, be there for each other etc - and then the locum came in.
Seems like a nice guy. Kinda cute. I shook his hand and addressed the potential 'white elephant' in the room.
So, I casually stated that I was trans and that we're all fine with this. Ain't no big deal...so, please don't make it one....that kinda thing.
All cool. Good.
So, work begins and all is good. I have to do a couple of meetings, informally face-to-face, and then some teams-style meetings, few phone calls and many (sorry...MANY!) emails.
I make the teas and coffee's for us all, brunch-time, and have a little word with everyone, both one-on-one and together to make everyone feel included.
What I'd normally do.
Lunch as per, and then delegating people to tasks in the afternoon. All went smoothly.
Home time, and time to make sure everything is secure and put away. I'm the last one out.
Relieved.
Head home to getting myself a big ass glass of White Wine..
Just what I needed, sweetie!
Phew!
