The interview went OK. He was concerned that I had very little dealership experience. I got to thinking on my mind clearing ride to the VA. That I deal with the same type of people commercial  and retail. With a dealership I would deal with mechanics and retail. same darn thing.

Anyway, Got the formed signed by my GYN. No problems now I need to go over to driver services and get it changed.

Sounds like the interviewer was making excuses. Sorry to hear that. Maybe he'll come around anyway.

 

Getting your license straightened out is good news though! I'm still waiting until the last week of September (because we're appointment-only due to plague), then 2 to 4 weeks for the new license to come through the mail. I hope I take a good picture.

 

Hugs!

Good morning all you coffee lovers, and caffeine addicted lovelies.

@Ms Maddie, My coffee is always brewed to share.

 

As for the rest of you two poets, Muhammad Ali is credited with the shortest, and most inclusive two word poem. He stood at the microphone with his arms stretched out, he brought them to his chest and said: "Me We" as he opened his arms back up.

 

Love you all,

And don't forget the official poem in the English language called Fleas...."Adam Had'em"

I think they snubbed The Greatest Boxer of all time, because "Me We" is clearly shorter with fewer letters, yet inclusive.

lol.  Now that we got that out of the way @KymmieL.   if the person you interviewed with was really concerned with you dealing with a dealership he doesn’t know anything about parts.  
 

going back a long time and a comedic reference to Chicken nuggets, “Parts is Parts”!  Ok I’m dating myself.  
 

Talk about not knowing parts, I called a local chain parts store.  Asked if they had 8 volt golf cart batteries.  Answer, I have 75 amp batteries.  Me but are they 8 volt.  Yeah.

I go to pick them up, he brings them out.  I instantly see they are 6volt.  Parts guy, “how do you know they are 6 volt and not 8?”  Me “Because they only have three cells!”  Oh by the way, the store has 8volt batteries sitting right there but no way I’m dealing with this guy anymore.

 

I agree with Jackie, it was either a reaction test or a I don’t want you.  I’ve interviewed a lot of people over the years and I’ve used a lot of techniques to weed out the ones I don’t think will work.  As the candidate you never really know where the interviewer is going.

 

hope you get a positive call.

Not only does history not play fair, but often it isn’t  even true.  We think history is history.  But clearly it is slanted to the writers view of what happened or who won.

Sadly the winners or those with the money power - control the history. I run a monthlyfirst person living history series where people dress and become people from history. I've done some and in researching as thoroughly as possible you have to sort through all the noise. As you say each writer seems to have an agenda in writing biographies and even the autobiographies are colored by what the author wants told.

 

A girl did Lucille Ball - and would only go up to the end of I LOVE LUCY - after that the girl said Lucy became someone she really disliked.

 

I once did Jesse James and wanted to dislike him so bad but knowing he saw neighbors gunned down because of their beliefs and being beaten at the age of 13 and then being shown his step dad being hanged to the point of dying and being revived 4 times and his mother losing an arm to a bomb made by the Pinkerton's and on and on.... I concluded I think I would have most likelt turned out the same way.

 

We find that people we thought were totally great had BIG flaws - Teddy Roosevelt thought Asian really inferior, Henry Ford and Limburgh were very racist and again on and on.

 

I like the series (called Chautauqua's) because the people who bring thwe person to life researchs from all angles - what they said, what others said, the world in which they lived, and try to give as well rounded presentation of the person as they possibly can.

 

I find it deeply rewarding and well worth my 800 hours volunteering each year to bring these people to our community.

One of the other reasons is that he asked me why I was looking to move to OR. So, I told him the truth. Was straight forward with him. I didn't want to sugar coat it then walk in my first day as a female. Have him ask who the Heck are you?  Oh, I am your new parts manager.

 

There are plenty of other dealerships. I asked my very good friend google what states are the most trans safe. Washington, Oregon, Cali(sorry not going there) and ILL. SO back to my searching.

 

Now back to the point, Coffee. Just waiting for the pot to warm up some more again. shut off about an hour & 1/2 ago.  auto shut off is nice most of the time.

 

Well my Sunday. heading down to the  DMV and hope to get the gender change going.

 

Have a great day everyone. Stay safe and healthy.

Sunday? wow didn't know DMV worked on Sunday's but - great news and good luck.

@KymmieL There was a time where every day was my Monday. I do not miss that. I think it was a good idea to be up front with a job prospect. That isn't something someone should be just thrown into all of a sudden. Giving a bit of time to work through some of that will most likely create a friendlier environment. Good for you!  :coffee:

I DID IT. I DID IT. ( insert happy:groupwavereversed: dance here) I am officially a female in the eyes of the Wyoming DMV.  I just got back from getting it changed. Another step in my journey.

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
