“Good evening. I’m Transman and you’re not.” Chevy Chase as Transman.
Things have been a bit busier than usual, so Transman hasn’t kept up with his blog writing, but here is a roundup of the news in brief:
1. Transman’s boss told him he needed to shave.
“But, if I shave it, I can’t finish that budget you were asking for.” Salvador Dali as Transman.
2. A friend who hadn’t spoken to Transman in a long time said she needed to make sure she’d taken her birth control pills because his voice was just that sexy on the phone (admittedly, there was a lot of static on the line).
“Yeah, baby, it’s Transman callin’.” Barry White as Transman.
3. Son 2′s new teacher is just as wonderful as Miss Honey.
“And then after we have story time, we will paint, listen to music, have a snack, and play on the monkey bars!” Miss Honey by Quentin Blake. “Maybe we can even play Twister later!”
4. Transman’s dad still loves him.
“I was kind of hoping we could bond in some other way, Dad. Like … fishing. What would have been so bad about a father-son fishing trip?” Harrison Ford and Sean Connery as Transman and Dad.

Is there a shaving policy for all male employees at your place of work? What was the issue with your facial hair that it needed intervention from your boss? Is this a possible discriminatory action?

My boss didn’t order me to shave, but asked if I could until we have told the rest of the people in my department what is going on–like the changes aren’t noticeable anyway. I’m giving everyone the benefit of the doubt for now. I am impatient to get the ball rolling, but there are some hold-ups with management as they try to figure out logistics.

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for keeping up with the Transman.

Sounds good all around.
September 29th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Generally, it is good.
September 29th, 2012 at 2:37 pm
You saved the best for last. What great news!

Yeah. He’s going through all the emotions that an announcement like this bring, but is being supportive and loving.

Hey Transman,
Mixed feelings on the first one. I have made myself acquainted with a razor many a time, and shaving can be tedious. Reaaally tedious.
I simply have nothing relevant to say about your sexy voice, I’m afraid. I’ve never been sure what constitutes sexy for me. It sounds like it was a bit of a boost to the old self-esteem though, and that’s always good.
Teachers come in several flavors. Miss Honey seems like kind of one of those ‘Oh my god how do you even get to be so nice’ ones. I had one of those for second grade and another in sixth and seventh. It was really wonderful. I think the only years I really enjoyed when i was in school were in second, sixth and seventh grade. (eighth and ninth stuff went downhill hardcore)
As for your dad still loving you, hey. You knew that was what was going to happen. I knew it too. Because I’m psychic or something. (I’m not psychic)
I’m still overjoyed and relieved. I’d been worrying about it a little I’ll admit. That sort of announcement never stops being scary.

Eris, shaving the legs is waaaaaaaaay more tedious than shaving the face. Especially when you have Yeti legs. I can handle the face (until I get a job that not only allows, but encourages a fuzzy beatnik look).
Good teachers make the world go round.
Thanks for the good thoughts about my dad. It will be a bit of journey for him, but I’m glad he was open.

Being told to shave: good thing?

Good because it means the ‘stache is now visible across the room. It also means I’m that much closer to beating Son 1 in that mustache-growing contest.
