First let me say thank you to all of you for your kind words. I'm passing the stunned/sad stage, getting through the angry stage, and am now ready to ream out the chairman (in a polite, calm way), tell him to take his potential future part-time work and shove it, and then calmly leave. Girls, I am not bragging here, but right now I have more publications and cross-disciplinary experience than all of them put together. The woman who initially hired me 4 years ago, who is in Political Science, was just floored. She argued vigorously for me. I thanked her for all of the opportunities she gave me. She said "You deserved it." I hope to always be friends with her. Besides, she's taken good care of my daughter.
Now I'm waiting word from Georgia, but I'm not holding out hope. They didn't have the money to pay my travel expenses, much less relocation. So I think that's gone. But I'm fine. I'm actually surprised I'm not more depressed. Maybe I am still numb after this betrayal.
Tressa saw my postings, and, taking a chance, called me Tuesday. She called when she knew my wife wouldn't be home and get me in trouble. Once again the girls of Trannyweb were there for me. I truly appreciated her sisterhood once again. She's out in Connecticut, so wish her well. She deserves it.
I've been raving about Helen Boyd and her book lately. She put me in touch with a couple here in the Chicago area. Alicia is a CD. We've been corresponding a lot. Here in Oak Park there is a store called "Transformations." I always figured it was geared to the TG community. After corresponding with Alicia, and knowing the names of the people who run the store(s), I went in yesterday and met them. They have GORGEOUS clothes. I'm going to schedule a makeover, get my piccie taken, and soon you'll finally see the real Meredith. This was the first time I ever told a person to their face, who wasn't an immediate friend or family member, that I am Meredith.
Thank you all.
