YOU

Had a very LONG day yesterday at JC.. Ended up visiting the office to have my clearance signed in the evening. I didn't get to see the reps though because somebody did not allow me to enter the floor even for a few minutes. I mean, I know I'm not supposed to loiter but I was half-expecting that she'll at least talk to me in her cubicle or (let's leave the 'talk' part out of the picture) at least sign my papers inside the production floor, but NO. Instead, Behng and I waited near the elev as the guard shuffled back and forth each time we had a message for She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named. Talk about PROFESSIONALISM.

And just yesterday I heard from other friends that she was press-releasing that she purposely did not see us because "we did not say goodbye properly anyways". I was not aware that a resignation letter addressed to all concerned superiors (submitted May 9th, effectivity date May 31st) did not constitute enough formality to announce my resignation from my post. Or I guess she had wanted me to come speak with her, heart to heart, that I was leaving and enumerate the reasons behind my decision and probably provoke some kind of sympathy from her to make her say something earth-shattering to change my mind. What can she expect from me when the main reason I wanted out was because I could no longer work with her? I don't kiss people's asses, much less have respect for those who blatantly walk around playing god. YOU'RE NOT GOD. Stop acting like one.

It's funny how power changes people.

You don't have friends? There are pseudo-friends that can be bought through free lunch or inuman sessions.. But that's just momentary. Reality is, when you go home and face yourself in the mirror all you see is a person who may have what one needs (materially), but inside you harbor an empty soul.

It's true what Ms. J said a long time ago that if ever you acquire friends in this kind of business, that's just a bonus, nothing else.
