Taking Charge of My Life

This most recent work incident showed that even when I try to avoid it, I somehow place myself in the same situations. My gut tries to tell me that something's not right, I forge on, ignoring my gut, and then I end up being taken advantage of, walked over, a victim yet again. I got kinda pissed thinking about this, and how this could happen AGAIN. So, what to do? Take charge! Aw yeah. Not only did the company's goals not fit with my ultimate goals, but why keep myself in a situation where I'll constantly be on my toes because of a silly girl who can't take any responsibility for herself and makes me look bad? Yeah ~ buh-bye.

My letter of resignation was typed up and delivered to the silly girl who set up my interview, and the other to the owner. Silly Girl was the first to receive my news, as I don't have any way to contact the owner. The letter to the owner got to her by way of a friend going in for the receptionist interview. The letter was in a bag with the owner's tupperware (she had given me food to take home last week). When my friend arrived at the clinic, Silly Girl told her that the owner was unaware that I resigned! She didn't tell her ~ she didn't want to. (What?!? ...I know.) So, she placed my letter into the owner's purse. Did she really? With her track record, I wouldn't be surprised if she put it in her own purse.

Later that evening, I received an email from Silly Girl saying that it's "okay," and the owner said I could come back if I want to. She apologized for "leaving me alone" at the receptionist desk last week without any training. She told me to keep in touch, especially with the owner because she was "a little sad" after reading my letter.

ummm...again, really? Are these some half-truths being thrown at me again?

I do wish their company the best of luck as they grow and expand. It just was never meant to be a workplace for me.
