Survival of the Fittest

The past few days have been a rollercoaster ride for me in terms of work, and over the weekend, after much thought (and moping hehehe), I have decided to go back to my old tenet that I should not let work affect me (or at least during the weekend). I told myself that worse things have happened before, and I was able to overcome these trouble spots.

And so Monday came, and I was scheduled to meet with the person concerned (the one who bummed me out). I was a little nervous, wondering what would transpire in our meeting. By a stroke of luck (or misfortune?), the person told me he’ll go to the office the next day instead.

Now it's Tuesday. I was still a bit nervous, but when I finally met up with him face to face, my nervousness was gone. I was fairly impressed with myself for being very cordial and professional and warm, despite the fact that last week I was really ticked off by that person. Everything ended well and amicably so this burden I have been carrying eased out… a bit at least. The person seemed nice and ok to talk to. But of course, looks can sometimes be deceiving, and though I am not fully referring to this person, let's face it. There really are backstabbers that are decent when in front of you.

So, should I quit my job? Nah… It’s not really my character to give up on things. Besides, this is just work. The worst that can happen to me is to get fired.
