available to answer in person or by e-mail any honest questions you may have. I have various other resources at my disposal to which I would be glad to provide.
Sincerely,
Celest
I want to add to what Celest has written, and say I fully support her and hope that we all can. It can be a difficult process for anyone, and I know from our discussions that Celest hasn't made this decision lightly. Starting today, I encourage everyone to make the effort to refer to Celest by the new name.
It should go without saying, but we and ***** both have a zero-tolerance for employee harassment and discrimination. Regardless of anyone's characteristics we should treat each other with respect. I honestly believe we have a very good group here, and the support from those that have known has been great, so I don't expect any issues.
I do understand gender identity is a sensitive and personal subject. If you have any questions or want to talk out the above, I really encourage you to reach out to a manager or to HR.
Welcome to the team Celest.
This is why I like working with companies that are beholden to national standards.
That is wonderful and exactly how it should be done, Connie!
Wow, good for both of them. That's a great letter. I have to imagine that opening with "I've been diagnosed with this condition" would be disarming to some people who "just don't get it."
Timelies all!
Mr. S turns 2 today. We brought mini cupcakes to daycare today, but otherwise it is a regular day. His birthday party will be on Saturday.
Aw, good for Celest. I'm glad supervisor stepped up!
Happy birthday Mr S!
What a well composed and thoughtful letter. Best of luck to Celest.
Congrats to Mr. S and welcome to the terrific 2s!. I loved the 2s with my boys because it was the beginning of much better communication. Also they transitioned away from being all mom all the time and more into dad. (that could have been no more nursing and more dad provided junk food too)
Motherfucker, my Kindle was misbehaving and Amazon said, oh, we'll replace it!
It's back. It's the same Kindle. And it still has the same problem.
Oh, even better, it works when plugged into my husband's computer. So the problem is somehow with my computer.
Decided at the last minute to join a month neighborhood walk. About a dozen of us. A little over an hour. At least there was a breeze, cause it was still kinda hot. Between this, neighborhood wine night last night & the 90th anniversary celebration for the EGL neighborhood this Saturday, I'm all sorts of neighborhooded up! Met some new people too.
