If I don't find a new job, I'll be just like one of them..

Yesterday, I just learned that we were switching places in the office.. to be implemented today.

That didn't mean that one person would be forced to transfer to another table.. because if it did, we wouldn't really mind. But what happened was.. ALL of our department would need to evacuate to another part of the office and surrender the highly suitable and situated position of ours.

Why move? And why so sudden? That I do not know. Sometimes, I'd like to think that it is never because of the rumor mongering mischievous little rats lurking in the office which we oh-so-gallantly refer to as wi-fi.

It sucks, as we all have thought of it. Personally, I have nothing against it. True that sometimes, I've been negligent in work, but hey... don't be a hypocrite. We all have those times. And perhaps, most of the time, I know that I've been busy enough... to maintain a healthy source of migraine.

When my boss told me about it... that I would be sitting next to her. I blurted out the first, unwise response I could ever think of, "Ayoko diyan." She said, "Basta diyan ka. Katabi kita." And I said the second unwise response, "Ayaw kitang katabi." And she said, maybe a little bit offended, "Ayaw din kitang katabi pero kailangang sumunod."

When she told me that, I sort of hated and liked her at the same time. Finally! I realized she's saying something true to me... even if it offended me. What an honest, brutally frank person!! Just like me. If only she could be like that forever... but no. She appears too sweet and too nice to everyone that it feels as if she's toying with me.

And gosh.. how I know what will happen in the following week.. whence I will be side by side with her. I'll be her freaking secretary. And then my title won't mean anything because all I need to do is do my job and then... do whatever she tells me.

I think I should refrain from calling her Ma'am.
