Confessions of a Career Girl: Episode 20

So maybe we all should have seen it coming.

The foiled attempts to stifle my inner gypsy. The makeshift rain attire fiascos. The occasional battles with workplace chauvinism. The lackluster adventures in office romance. &etc, etc, etc...

Maybe, deep down, I knew all along that my life as a Corporate Career Girl would be short-lived. Maybe, deep down, you knew it. Either way, if I haven't made it crystal clear yet, no, yesterday's entry wasn't figurative. Yes, I really did resign from my job. My last day will be next Friday...

Scary, right? Yeah, I won't even pretend that I'm not scared sh!tless. But I'm happy. Coming to work today, I felt... different. Everyone here has been, surprisingly, extremely supportive. It remains that I have nothing but positive sentiments towards this company. Like any other company in the corporate world, it has it's issues with gender inequalities and like any other company located in so conservative a market as Pittsburgh, it has it's issues with what I'll call fashion discrimination. But I have been incredibly lucky to have begun my journey here. If my heart was in banking, I wouldn't be leaving, it would be the perfect job!

But I have to do this. I need to do this. I'm glad I'm doing this.

So, needless to say, the "Confessions of a Career Girl" series will be ending come May 29th. Of course, that doesn't mean I won't still have many other confessions. You, my captive cyber-audience of friends, fellow bloggers, strangers, lurkers, and haters (I know y'all read too, lol) will be along for the entire ride. You will have front row seats on the journey to my dream.

Besides, something tells me achieving my dream may require first having a "Confessions of a Cocktail Waitress" series for a while, and that's bound to be entertaining... lol!
