one handful of true friends

I think leading your days finding fulfillment in the things you do is important. Somehow I’ve been sensing tension suspending over the workstation diagonally across where I am. Perhaps it’s pay related, like always. Perhaps it’s promotion related. Perhaps it’s just the ego making things hard to swallow.

I hope her requests would be heard and something would be done for her. if any case if it doesn’t work out, I hope she’ll move on and find something that’ll suit her better. It’s definitely better than hanging on here, feeling all miserable and short changed. Learning to leap over the fence takes courage and by doing so, sometimes we do find a pasture that’s greener than the present.

The boat which holds our department should be experiencing a little commotion coming its way. Keeping the morale of the department staff high is important. Despite changes, it’s important everyone else hold fast to their positions and not let the changes bowl us off our feet. If everyone is rooted well, there won’t be much an impact. However, if everyone is built on sand, then be ready for some damage. In any case, the boss must do some damage control and after disaster work. So let’s keep observing and see how things would progress into.

Meantime, I know it’s important I stay as neutral as possible. I’m not paid to poke my head into the business of other people. If they do share with me I’ll just listen and not comment. It’s their own lives, I can’t offer much but a listening ear. Moreover, to avoid people quoting me off the things I say, keeping quiet is the best policy. God gave us 2 ears but only 1 mouth. Isn’t it a clear sign that He wants us to listen more than we talk?

God gave me 10 fingers. It’s a sign that He wants me to express my laments and thoughts in writing rather than tell people around me. because these days, there are not many people I can truly trust.

How many is not many?

Let’s just say only one handful.
