So come Monday I’ll be starting a new job for the first time in like 8 years… and I’m freaking out just a smidge. Not only is it the whole learning curve thing, but new people women, yup all women in this office and that terrifies me. I’ve worked plenty of jobs in the past with women and it’s always a tricky balance. Sometimes everyone gets along great and in fact some of my best friends are women I worked with and then you have those other times were it seems like “Clash of the Titans” meets “Cat Scratch Fever” and its U-G-L-Y…
I have lots of girl friends (see my last post) but I’ll tell you, one thing they all have in common is they aren’t insecure about who they are and I love that about them. Each one of them is different and wonderful in their own ways. One of the hardest things about dealing with women is when they have no sense of “self” and boy does it carry over when they meet someone who does. So I’ll just apologize in advance now for my: hair, makeup, jewelry, body, attitude, clothes, breathing (you get the point). I’m sure there are worst things in life then being sized up and dismissed by another woman either because you are too pretty, not pretty enough, dressed to slutty, or not slutty enough (the list can go on and on) but it still wears you down and makes you question “is it me?” So I’m going to answer it for you: NOPE! It’s never you and it’s always her…
I’ve seen it happen right before my own eyes to my friends, I’ve had it happen to me and at the end of the day what it boils down to is that beotch wishes she was as fabulous as you and you should own it… and then come hang out with me because I’m probably going to need all the new friends I can get since I’m sure no one in my new office is going to like me (I kid I kid) Actually I’m sure they are all really nice women and I’m really looking forward to starting a new adventure… and if they don’t like me for the awesomeness I’m bringing to their office then it’s their problem because I know myself and I own it! ;)
