After posting earlier, I touched up the letter I wrote and actually sent it to my boss. The next 5 hours or so were full of genuine panic. Literally 5 hours of pacing, sweating, regretting sending it, thinking about hacking into my works software to delete the email.. Every possibility went through my mind. I was convinced I was getting fired and even looked into how to start proceedings with court. Actually insane.
So my boss replied about half an hour ago. I don't think I've sat down since! SO HAPPY!!
It wasn't massively positive but more cautious on her part, which is understandable, probably has to look up protocol and laws etc.
She said,
"*Old name*/Tom this is something I would have to look into. I do know people who have decided to use a different surname. I believe as long as it's not to deceive it can be done. I will look further into this and get back to you. I do understand your wish to wait to be introduced at a different site when you choose to be known as Thomas James. I will get back to you when I have more information."
I really appreciate that she is holding off moving me to a new site and is looking into stuff for me :D
I'm so goddamn happy! Words cannot describe! It's like a WHOLE weight off my shoulders, I may have made it into a bigger deal in my head..
I am one step closer, I'm honestly buzzing. Beaming from ear to ear!
I had more to say in this post but I feel like this has taken over my brain and to be honest, I don't want to think about anything else right now anyway!
Hope everyone else is having a day as AWESOME as mine is now!
