Drama
Y'know.
When I began working in a corporate headquarters enviornment, I expected a lot of professionalism between co-workers, but,I knew that with a large group of women, dotted with a few men here and there would always be Ms. Drama.
I know you've seen her.
Worked with her.
Lived near her...
watched her kids...
gone to church with her...
She always seems to be around.
She, and her friend, Enabler.
This gal always enables Ms. Drama to keep doing what she does.
But I had no idea how intense it would get.
Well, maybe that isn't entirely true.
I guess I just thought I could quell it's effects on me.
*sigh*
On a lighter note...
When I was hired, it was as a temp at first, so they could evaluate my work and see if I was up to the job, since I didn't meet all the qualifications.
The girls tolerated me, but didn't accept me fully. Especially since my job was different.
Within 2 weeks, they made me permanent hire, and that felt awesome.
And the girls began to try a little harder, but still maintained their exclusive attititudes.
When Lucas joined the team, he was hired on as a temp as well. I would joke with him about us being the outsiders... and only he and I "got it".
Within 2 weeks, he was also hired on permanetly. We cheered quietly in our accomplishments of proving ourselves.
Yesterday, in our weekly staff meeting, the entire group was chastized for some blunders that have been an ongoing problem. Unacceptable problems.
Except Lucas and I.
The rest of the group left feeling frustrated, unhappy...
But Lucas and I??
Floating.
Maybe it sounds boastful, but I hope not.
That's not my intent.
I love that we, the underdogs, came out on top.
