I Think I'm Paranoid

Okay, maybe I've got a persecution complex of sorts. But really, you kinda get that way when you're not sure whether or not anyone's watching your back.

My conspiracy theory sort of broke down. Today N approached me and told me that she had no choice but to stay in the meeting because she was asked to give her perspective on Operations. She told me everything that went on in the meeting and didn't seem to be hiding anything from me. Well, that's good. One notch up the ladder of trust.

Then I got to talk to E whom I also thought was conspiring to leap up the corporate ladder behind my back. Turns out that his suggestions of alternative suppliers were made in good faith. He also said that I really got a good deal on my notebook. Actually, I was so afraid that he would prick my bubble because if there's anyone who knows anything at all about techie stuff, it would be him. He said that he would trade his laptop with mine any day. Of course, we both know that that's not happening, haha.

Weird thing happening in the office. There's a reorganization of sorts and I honestly feel that it's to his disadvantage that L will be gone for a month. Not a good time to be gone, really. But it seems that although M, the big boss, has been disappointed with him time and again, M is really a patient person and wants to give the guy a chance. Truthfully, M is the reason why I haven't jumped ship. Not everyone has the privilege of working with an understanding boss. Although his standards for service levels don't take a dip, he's pretty cool.

On the mundane side, the batteries in my car died. Had to buy a new one all because I didn't know that these things had a lifespan. Really, they should have crash courses on car maintenance for females. It's a good thing that I live in a country where there's a mechanic (or someone purporting to be one) in every corner. In this side of the world, damsels in distress still exist and knights in shining armors are a dime a dozen. Thank God for that.
