So, now that I have private personal blogging functionality on the site, let’s start going into some more detail.

So, the big news that I haven’t been able to tell anyone for the last week is?

I’m pregnant!

Ah no. The truth is, I’m getting a sex change and changing my name to Darleen.

Hahahaha.

No. I got promoted.
No, please. Believe me, I know it seems more likely that I’m pregnant or I’m getting a sex change but seriously! I got promoted! Isn’t that cool? They must be stupid or something!

I’ve been working in this company for two years now on the 14th of April. When I got here, I set my sights on the job above mine. It’s a lot more technical, has a lot more responsibility and is generally just better for me. It will mean I get to learn a lot more on an ongoing basis and regardless of the money, I love learning! But, the money is slightly better too.

But, the problem is, I haven’t been able to tell anyone yet. It’s driving me crazy! I want to shout it from the roof tops. I want to tell everyone that I’m moving jobs. I want to get in and start the challenge. But, of course, I’m scared shitless that I’m not going to be up to the job or accessibility problems are going to get in my way. Everyone who has done this kind of thing knows that when you’re using technology such as servers, manufactures haven’t exactly given people who can’t see much thought. But, in saying that, I’m kind of quietly confident that whatever the problem, I’ll do my very best to find a way around it. Besides, there’s been no job without accessibility problems so far and I’ve still been able to struggle through. Well, either struggle through or bullshit my way through. In fact, there was probably more bullshit than struggling.

The only thing in my way now is waiting for management to inform people that I have the job. When that’s done, I’ll be able to start. They were supposed to do that a week ago, but….. Things take a while to happen in this place.
