Derailed
At work, a strange sequence of events.
It started quite a few weeks ago, when a management person dropped in the office late in the afternoon for a chat to a colleague. Colleague was advised not to let another colleague linger in the office. Colleague replied with a few pithy Australianisms. You can guess he drift.
Now, I've been asked to write an account of the event, weeks afterwards, "just for the record". Huh? This felt a bit unusual, or at the least a cover for something else. It disturbed me, & I couldn't get my mind onto some important projects.
So I call management person, to explain I can't give a reliable written account (I wasn't tuned in to the conversation at first, it wasn't initially for me, it didn't seem much to think about, & it was ages ago). I was willing to discuss the event in an appropriate way. But management cut me off, & hung up on me! Truly amazing.
Well NOW it looks really messy. It feels like there was something behind the first request. I'm being pulled two ways over this. And I'm totally derailed from the big report due we're-not-sure-when-but-probably-tomorrow.
My supervisor has agreed to have a quiet word at a quiet time, and - I dearly hope - smooth things out. Light a candle for me.
I like this job. It's varied, & stimulating, & I meet a lot of interesting people. Best of all, I feel I'm making a difference. Yeah, corny I know, but I reckon it's true. I don't need this stuff.
Thanks for listening.
