So... I'm having such a wonderful day today (even though the workload has been absolute hell!!!).
Every one at work has been SOOOO amazing with their response to my name change
Side note: I interviewed with this company 10 years ago under my maiden name so most folks had a hard time adjusting to the married name once I was working here! Everyone has given me great positive feedback.
I can't begin to explain how free and at peace I feel. I have absolutely LOVED hearing them call me "Ms. <maiden name>"!!! Puts a HUGE smile on my face everytime they say it!
It's so amazing how far I have come since last October. I would have NEVER imagined life would be this good.
