I, The Escapist




I’m resigning. Soon.

Six months today. Hello, I’m Helga and I’m a regular employee, fully-entitled to all company benefits. And I can now make use of the six incentive leaves I’ve earned these past six months.

But I’m resigning. Even though I am highly promotable (I haven’t been late in weeks), as implied by my direct supervisor. Even though I’m kinda good at what I do. Even though I have made some good friends in this program.

I admit that a big contributor to this decision is the fact that I went crying-psycho in front of co-workers and bosses last Sunday. I have exerted a great deal of effort at keeping a low profile here at work: sure, everyone knows me, but only impersonally. You know: Helga— crazy and mean but a good girl, nonetheless? NOT drunken hysterical Helga who airs out her issues to everyfuckingone?

And, well, Branders is hiring and they pay a whole lot better than my current employer.

I have to get out.

    I’m sure they have all seen drama like that before in the office, but good luck finding a new job anyway.

    Btw, reading your last entry, I don’t think it’s fair of him to break it off with you just because you kissed another man. Kind of hypocritical of him don’t you think. You should be entitled to kiss whomever you want if he’s going to get to have another woman.
