Perspective
At this age (40s) it is probably true that we will drop the unimportant things and treasure the people who do matter. My children and my mom are priority, everything else takes second place and I will no longer apologise for it.
Well at work yesterday this young chap gave me a chilling e-mail. Maybe it is just my imagination but it sounded very formal and that he will inform the HOD (whatever the hell for?). [Backstory: he is related to our HOD in some way or the other, he is said to be under-qualified for a teaching post and she adores him for every little insignificant thing that he does]
Context: I submitted a report yesterday, apparently late, but (perhaps I was lucky) the system recorded the due date as today. I replied right away that the official due date is today & immediately the reply that came was "ohh, it's all alright I have already completed my part of the report earlier". Then? What kind of game is this?
Now things somehow make sense. Where my workstation is located (in direct view of the HOD), whatever I do is commented upon & the comeback reply that I used to be an HOD myself (hence should cooperate and not go against the grain).
Are we running a communist country here? What is scary is that I am starting to see some connections between certain people and how certain remarks in certain groups appear as a set-up (like an agent provocateur) to easily screenshot & forward to anybody who is necessary.
What is happening? Well I will keep clear of these characters, maintain a clean nose (haha) and mind me own business. She best focuses her energy in making the Faculty great, instead of trying to bring people down like this.
