Small victories
Today seemed to be a day of small victories, and the seeds of larger accomplishments.
First, I got a job interview! I haven’t talked a ton about my dissatisfaction with my current job. I’ll write a longer post at some point, but the short version is that I’m ready to move on. In spite of my job’s laid back atmosphere and a number of really great coworkers, there are some things about it that are driving me nuts and I think it’s time for something else. So on Monday I’ll be having a phone interview with another arts organization in Chicago for an admin position. Nifty!
Then, I spoke with an insurance agent. I was forthcoming about my status as trans, and he said that he actually thought it wouldn’t be a problem. (Though the insurance wouldn’t pay for “changes.”) And because my hormones are either generics or can be converted to generics, we can tell the insurance company they won’t have to pay for ‘em and I still won’t see my hormone prices going up too much. At least, that’s the plan… So if I find a job without insurance (a distinct possibility) I hopefully won’t be screwed. Fingers crossed!
Finally, I got a phone number for a cute girl on OKCupid! I’ve been on the site for a while, and have been online flirty with some people I’d extended an invitation for drinks to someone a while back, and never heard a reply. But last night I got a message saying “Sorry, I’ve been offline forever. Lets do something,” with her phone number. (That’s the abbridged version, but you get the gist.)
Woo!

Cool! Hope your date goes well.
Thanks! I left _the_ most awkward message on her voicemail, so we’ll see… Hopefully she’ll think it’s cute, and not weird or obnoxious.
Awkward is cute.
Awkward is very cute. P.S. I can totally help with eyeliner.
Hopefully. And yes, please! When are we getting together to play?!
