dolariWell, the phone interview turned into a job interview. I have it on Thursday, 3PM.
I'm EXTREMELY worried over this. I've been really worried for a while now.
I've worked at Kinko's and Dell (twice) without any real problems or anything regarding my Transsexualism. And now I have an interview coming up. I'm really worried that like Harte Hanks and TxDOT, I'm going to be fired for using the women's room.
At Harte Hanks, I tried to negotiate. I was one of their top agents, and I called their bluff. Would they lose one of their top agents for using a bathroom she looked like she could use? Turns out I called their bluff, and STILL lost.
When the issue came up at TxDOT, I wasn't even given a chance to negotiate. Just a "Don't let the door hit your ass hit you on the way out." I was really stung by the follow up letter blaming ME for not being able to keep the job.
Now I have another job interview coming up. I'm rather worried that this stuff will come up. I know that no matter what my job performance, I can be fired simply for having a Y chromosome. I'm literally fearing this interview.
So, I did a Tarot reading that told me "It doesn't matter what you say, you're not getting this job." I think, honestly, that I put too much of my own fear and not enough "What should I do" into the interpretation.
So what should I do?
Do I go in and tell them "Is being TS going to be a problem?" and get screwed out of work right up front? Or do I keep it quiet and get fired later? Honestly, I'd rather lose the opportunity up front than get a "You were fired" mark on my employment history. But those are two NEGATIVE outcomes.
There's always the "You do your job well, and get to keep it" aspect.
So what do I do? Do I mention "Is it going to be a problem?" at the interview? Or keep my mouth shut and hope for the best? I really should sleep on this.
I really don't know what do here. Any suggestions from the peanut gallery?
I finally also have the Third Element in the Elf/Faerie story now. How do you kill off an entire species pretty quick? Make it impossible to reproduce. I think this story is ready to rol whenever AWFW or CS are done.

We have PLENTY of time.
