what I want and more frustrating updates

Well folks, I hope I can get to all I want to talk about today! Firstly, thanks for reading! So, I have had some interesting stuff going on lately. If you have been reading, you know one of my dreams has always been for me to be required to dress up and for Vanessa to have a reality. Also, if you have noticed, I'm ALWAYS on the look-out for any opportunity. What that means is, I'm always playing around with me getting a chance to dress up. So, to set the stage you need to understand that I work in a large building for part of my week. This building has a large crew of a housekeepers. I am a very friendly person and as a consequence I have gotten to know many of the housekeeping staff. In fact, some of my favorite people are members of the housekeeping staff. Anyway, over the last few months, I have been joking around with some of the housekeeper's one of the managers of the housekeepers about how much I would like to be a housekeeper as well but the only qualifier is I would want to do it in a skirt or a dress. Again, it is important to establish the dynamic of these discussions to appreciate how things have gone. First of all, most of it has been done in a joking manner. This is not uncommon for me to do until I establish that I can proceed safely. So in the last few weeks I have been feeling really repressed and perhaps this has motivated me to be more bold in my discussion. Also I have ran into the manager of a couple of times lately and this has provided me or opportunity to discuss this housekeeping career option. It also must be understood that I am a professional with a very highly trained career. In a weird sort of way this has provided me some safety as most of the housekeepers would find it unbelievable for someone like me to want to be a housekeeper.

Anyway, about 2 weeks ago I ran into the manager and reminded her about my wishes to become a housekeeper. Then I reminded her about my uniform requirements. She was talking with another housekeeper at this time and we were discussing whether a male could work in a skirt if they wanted. The entire discussion was more akin to a discussion of policies regarding uniforms and rules regarding uniforms. Thus, we talked about tattoos and piercings and whether this would be okay with the company. The standard housekeeping uniform is a tunic and pants but they do allow employees to wear skirts for religious reasons. This has always been something that I have mentioned. So, as our discussion progressed, we moved from generalities to whether or not the company would actually allow a male to wear a skirt. The manager was quite confident that they would allow this. I was on cloud 9! and then I mentioned that there might be a problem with having a male employee in a skirt and the public seeing this. The manager stated that it would be best to work afternoon or evenings and there were areas of the building that were deserted at that time. At the end of our discussion, I asked her if I had to fill out and on-line application and she advised me that I could simply give her my resume because she knows me.

A few days after this discussion, I ran into one of my more favorite housekeepers and talked with her about working as a housekeeper. This lady is absolutely lovely and I have a real fondness for her. Unfortunately any tranny talk tends to make her a little uncomfortable and so I have to tone it down with her. when I saw her recently, I spoke with her about the potential of being a housekeeper and she was supportive. She also agreed that there were areas to work where one would not come into contact with the public.

I then sent the facebook message to one of my favorite housekeepers, who knows about Vanessa and she said that it would be impossible for me to keep this quiet if I did actually do it. So I am very conflicted because it would be so much fun.

The next topic has been prompted by a discussion with another facebook friend. The question is, what would I want from my friends in a perfect world. I don't think I have all the answers to this just yet but I have one example. I think it would be wonderful to have female friends who were really motivated to get me to dress up. I would love it is my friends badgered me about dressing. "How come you are not wearing nylons today?" is a good example. I think it is a difficult issue because what I want is my friends to be more forceful than they would normally be expected to be in a friendship. I also would like it very much if my friends were more assertive in finding opportunities for me to dress up with them. unfortunately we are all very busy people.

I going to think on this more but it is an interesting topic to me.

Oh and I have an interesting tidbit...eek gotta go...tbc!
