Less Talk, Less Trouble

With the merger and all the changes that are being implemented, our department seems to be split apart. The line isn’t as obvious yet but pretty soon, it’s going to manifest itself in the form of clashing personalities (and cat fights?). Some people are already scrambling and holding on to dear positions and posts (pati upuan!) while others – like me – couldn’t care less. Well I try to be as apathetic as I can be. I just don’t want to get involved with all the politicking and brouhaha. I deem it best to just leave it up to the “bosses.” I may not be a big fan of my boss but I guess she still has my loyalty however waning it may be (you can call me a martyr now). Nonetheless, I’m staying neutral as much as and for as long as I can. I’m going to try my damn best to mind my own business. I don’t want to take sides and I definitely don’t want to be caught in the middle either. From the looks of it though, it seems like I’m heading towards the middle. And so to remedy the situation, I’ve pledged to keep my silence. That is, to keep my lips zipped locked until such time when things start to cool down, when the battle gears are dropped. From this day onwards, I'm on a self-imposed gag. Basta trabaho lang. Basta stick to the facts lang. So does this mean an exciting and interesting year ahead? Good luck!
