    WTF. He is now She!!!

    Wow! Really surreal thing happened to me today at present clientco.

    Started a new contract before Christmas. All very good. Good rate. Nice colleagues. Interesting work etc

    The hiring manager was really cool. Soft spoken fella, but very techie/knowledgeable!!! They had a Christmas do! Invited me along! It was all very nice.

    Anyway, the hiring manager went off mid December for a long break. He was taking a month off in Asia. Really cool! I've travelled there!

    Today though he popped back in. I say 'he'. I mean he is a 'he' right!!!

    No. He! Robert, is now Rachel!

    WTF!!!!!

    There was a meeting with HR and we not have to call Robert, Rachel?!?!

    Too weird for words!!!!

    How do you handle this!!!!

              Best not to touch it at all, I think.

                A) Can you be sure there is anything left to handle?

                B) Would you?
