office politics

photo by http://i.telegraph.co.uk


i have been working for more or less seven years. i may be younger than most of my colleagues but i am already an officer in the company. some rank and file employees made some fuss about it before until they realized that well, i deserve my position.

anyhoo, other than that my office life is kind of boring. i have been and probably always will be minding my own business. i don't care much for the lives of others. so sometimes i expect the same of them; doesn't always happen though. nevertheless, we get along most of the time. i'm very adaptable you see. i know how to act with different types of people. i get along with almost everyone, as long as i can tolerate you. if not, then i simply ignore you.

but despite that, i don't always interact with my officemates after work although we are "close". we invite each other for special occasions: birthdays, fiestas, weddings, funerals etc. (i definitely invite them since they always mention any parties i have coming up) they usually go to my events but i usually skip theirs. not because i'm rude intentionally but often because i am out of town on weekends. also when i get home from work, i rarely go out. i only go out with the bf sometimes or with baby wants to go to the mall. the baby is used to being with me after work so he looks for me when i'm gone at night.

i don't know, but probably because we already spend 8 hours together from monday to friday, i think that's enough togetherness. still, i would never bare my soul to any of them. sure i talk about life and the like but nothing really close to the heart. i keep to myself often. i am often left alone in the room and i really don't mind. more often than not, i go out of the office to eat. i only converse with them if necessary.

and despite all that, they think we're tight. why spoil their fun?
