I lost a job that I absolutely loved about three weeks ago. It was a very hard thing, leaving the people I have grown to look at as my second family. Some of them were also let go and others are still with the company. But all of us have continued to keep in touch which shows we were more than just coworkers, I made actual friends for life. It is also great to know that once they can rehire for my position, I am first on the call list. But my position will also be one of the last ones they open up so who knows when that will happen.
But now, I am ready to start the next chapter of my life. I accepted a position that is like a non-HR, HR role. I will be doing the scheduling, timesheet approval, new hire orientation and training, and drug screening for a major home improvement store in my town. I am really excited for a new opportunity. It is nice to know that I have a fallback if this doesn't turn out as great as I want it to be, but that isn't holding me back from this new adventure.
The really bright point? No one at this company knows me as the fat girl. I won't get comments on the reg about how my personality has changed or how different I act, look, or sound. I will simply be the me that I have been working so hard to be. I will be seen as the person I have always thought of myself as being instead of the one smothered by the fat girl. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! I can use my newfound self confidence to not only survive my life but to make it thrive and let others see how much I enjoy it as well. I am so excited and just had to share this with you all because I know you will understand. For once I will be seen how I see myself, and not have the "Oh how you've changed" comments that go with it. Bring it on!
