I couldn't be more grateful. Five years ago this company took a chance on a full time bartender who was going to night school to get an MBA. I had no office experience, I had never even opened Outlook. Talk about a fresh set of eyes...
On the other hand, I've been done here for a while. It is time for me to push myself harder in my career. Sometimes I think maybe I've never really pushed myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm a true survivor. I've worked three jobs at a time to stay afloat without too much complaint, but when given the opportunity...I haven't always jumped for the stars. School was pretty easy for me. Minimal effort got rewards that were above average, but imagine if I had worked HARD? I went to the college that paid me the biggest scholarship, instead of the one that was going to challenge me the most. I have stayed five years in a job that I like enough, and I'm good at, but greatly underutilizes my skills and pushes me minimally.
It's time. A new company in a new city. A big challenge and room for growth. Room for growth that I fully intend on using as my driving force to PUSH HARDER. Push myself to build a career. To grow mentally. To live the grind now so that later I may not have to....that's the goal. Try and hold me to it, would ya? I may need a shock collar.
Now, the real question is: how should I make my exit? By the way, this girls .gif timeline of what it's like to leave your job is amazing.

or just an Irish exit when no one is looking….decisions decisions.
