I am tired of this! I have been looking for a new job for several weeks (months, in fact) and the biggest problem with obtaining employment which could possibly help me get closer to the surgery is my misdemeanor shoplifting conviction. While I am working on getting that record sealed, this is going to take like 6 months and there is probably no way I could possibly get gainful employment in time to have surgery by December. While TalentTree did start working on placing me at another employer (I had to go in to get forms to do a drug test today), I am still irritated that ultimately, I have to consider options for gainful employment. And yes, this means finding an employer who is a bit more willing to keep me on because of the fact that they see me as a woman from the get go and not a “man dressed as a woman”. So, in that spirit, I need to find a SRS grant as soon as possible. Continue reading ‘Looking for a SRS Grant’

Once again, I am among the ranks of the unemployed. Unfortunately, even though I was meeting the quotas set by Comcast and I was doing everything they told me to do, since I wasn’t do as well as the other people on the shift, I was let go. This is completely horrible, as they told me that as long as I do 200 tapes per shift, I would not have any problems. And even though I met this requirement, actually exceeding it last night, I was terminated today when I got to the building. Now, considering how much trouble it takes to get to the Comcast Media Centre, I was pissed that I had walked all that way so I could be told that I was essentially shit canned. Not only this, but I also e-mailed Dr. Pichet and told him that I was going to have a deposit ready for him by the end of the month. Now, since I am once again employed and I doubt I will even have the 10% deposit that he needs to lock in the price, I am once again back to square one. Continue reading ‘Unemployed Once Again’
Sadly, I learned about a month ago that the amount of the Stafford Loan from Community College of Denver is too laughably small to help me get the surgery. So, with the little job prospects that I do have and the little hope that I have of getting gainful employment, I am going to have to cede to the fact that I will not be having surgery before the end of the surgery. But if nothing else, it will help teach me how to live as female without the surgery, thus appreciating the surgery more. And yes, it will give me more time to prepare things before I leave. Namely, the little things such as getting a cache of money together for Chinese food delivery, a cache of food to ensure that I do not have to run to Whole Foods while lying around the house, enough to pay off my utilties for a couple of months and to purchase the sundry items needed that I would go through much quicker since I would be at home, recovering from major surgery.
