so i'm a 22 year old girl in the working world. i appreciate the job that i have, but i also want a lot more for myself. does this make me a bitch? recently many of my co-workers (and yes, all boys) have commented to me that i have changed and turned into a bitch. i used to be "Sweet" "sunny" "happy" "fun" and such. does being a bitch mean that i am no longer those things? does the way i act at work determine how i act outside of work? does doing your work and not wanting to take crap from people who don't mean that i'm a bitch?

i have decided to claim the word bitch as a positive thing. i don't believe that just because i am determined, ambitious, mild workaholic, girl that it is a bad thing. maybe when i was an intern working 20 hours a week without real responsibility i wasn't a bitch. maybe i was a bitch in classes - would they know it if i was? and does it matter? if being a bitch means that i know what i want and will work for it and not let shit get in my way, then i don't think i have a problem being one. in fact, i would look down upon anyone who is not a bitch. i am determined not to let people calling me a bitch be a negative thing.

i am a 22 year old girl with places to go, i don't have the luxury of not being a bitch.

and why is that because i work hard at work my entire personality becomes one of a bitch? do people think i act the same way outside of the office? can we consider for a moment the possibility that i do not have the same pressures outside of the office that i do in the office?

i understand this is random - but i can no longer put up with bitch being a negative thing. if hillary is a bitch and laura bush is not - i would rather be hillary any day - she has a hellofa lot more fun.

am i bitch because i have a personality?
am i bitch because i want more?

would you want to know me if i didn't have those characteristics?

according to that logic, someone without any bitchy qualities would be, what, a rock?

women of the world, unite and embrace your bitchiness.
