In any kind 0f werkplaces, there's b0und t0 be 0ffice p0litics. In my werkplace, i dunn0 if i sh0uld call it 0ffice p0litics 0r blatant g0ssiping. Basically, there's a wh0le bunch 0f us as c0ntract staffs here. But cum lunchtime, we're separated int0 2 grps. I've g0ne t0 lunch wif b0th grps bef0re. And well, i dun reallie like wat happens den. Grp A wld t0k abt sumb0dy fr0m grp B and in grp B, they'd t0k abt sum0ne fr0m grp A. Yes i kn0e.. pretty c0nfusing. Initially, i th0t we all g0t al0ng pretty well. Until i heard all these tales being t0ld. I admit, i d0 g0ssip abt pple sumtimes, but its reserved f0r th0se wh0 deserve it, th0se wh0 i dun c0nsider a fren. In their case, they cld be j0lly wif 0ne an0ther, but behind their backs.. well.. dat's an0ther st0ry. I guess if i were t0 give them a name, it wld be hypocrites. And i realize that i'm juz as bad as sum 0f th0se they menti0ned. Like f0r example, i'm always late t0 werk. S0 when R t0ked abt F being late all da time, i v0iced 0ut and said.. s0 am i. Den she l00ked at me, hesitated and answered.. well ur n0t as bad. Dat g0t me thinking, i guess they t0k behind my back t0o.. it d0esn't b0ther me much.. c0z well.. it is true.. i'm always late. heh But its this kinda thing that makes me dread g0in t0 lunch wif either grp. In fact, i'd much prefer t0 eat al0ne in da 0ffice sumtimes. T0day was 0ne 0f th0se days. When i g0t back fr0m buyin lunch th0ugh, Grp B was seated at a table hafin their lunch. Spotting me, they asked me t0 j0in them. Damn.. i'm caught. "Uhh uhh.." i stutter. Then, i ran to da bathroom. 0k well.. n0t run exactly.. but hide. hee I th0t 0f a strategy t0 get 0ut 0f eating wif them s0 i went back int0 da 0ffice, made casual c0nversati0n wif them, den t0ld them t0 carry 0n as i was n0t hungry yet. N0w i'm here, 0n my table, typing all these 0ut while my st0mach makes vi0lent protests. N0w i haf t0 wait awhile after they finish eating.. bef0re i can dev0ur my f00d. Smart Syidah. S0o clever. *pats tummy sadly*
