It struck me that if I move forward with any transitioning, that I ought to moonlight on the weekends and perhaps evenings at a second job where they know form the start, and this would have some benefits.
- Extra Money
- New People with a new baseline for interpersonal relationships
- A reason to develop a professional wardrobe and public style
- Chance to grow out of the shyness that being secretive has caused over the years
- Less time to sit and ruminate and worry about deciding, just going out and 'doing' instead.
- *possible new career option /safety net if my main day job will not 'fit'
- it would make me feel like a real person in the real world
Anybody try this strategy? I imagine I will have to at least talk to my boss at my day job, but it's such a roughneck career that I am doubtful that transitioning would leave me in any comfort level there.
