Sooooooooooooooooooo...

Office is fun. My boss is off sick and missing the latest in the on-going battle between X and Z. Of course, I am right in the middle of it and it doesn't help that X and I are agreeing again on something. This *something* is the latest reason for escalation. I am in the middle of a heated e-mail exchange and waiting for a call from Z who I know is quickly losing patience with me. I was sort of expecting for X to be nice to Z for a while (after what happened last week) but the opposite seems to happen. I had him on the phone twice today and his mood is bad and he seems ready for war. Not that I would really appreciate further escalation but peace would require shutting my big mouth and I want that even less. LOL

The weekend was okay. Kind of lame compared to work. But now is Monday and I have four full days of excitement ahead of me before it's weekend again. I realize that I must sound crazy. Is my disease curable? Either way, I hope you all stay tuned to this place.

5.20 pm update: X just called again to make sure I do not cave in to Z's pressure. I feel like two sides are trying to drag me into different directions. I am only following my own conscience. Not my fault that my opinions often match X's.

It's interesting to follow your stories, but I have that gut feeling that it's come to a point where you probably should shut your mouth for once and let them cool off themselves without adding anything to the fire. No?

LOL. You're probably right but I didn't start this latest fire this afternoon. I was really innocent this time. But when asked for my opinion, I speak my mind. I have a hard time shutting up. I realize though that I am in acute danger zone right now.

Yeah, when you're asked you answer. I'm like that, too. But I also know how I completely go overboard with voicing my opinion sometimes - even when I was asked to voice it -, hehe. So I think it's sometimes good to ask yourself when to stop.

True enough. But power is a bitch and I am addicted to it. I am actually loving all this eventhough I know the grave dangers I am in. I am driven by ambition and (the fear of) boredom. A deathly combination. I don't know where all this will end but I love playing the game. *sigh*

"I realize that I must sound crazy. Is my disease curable?"

No, you don't sound crazy. I think you are just addicted to excitment. Life can be boring sometimes. I don't like that too.

The "disease" is not curable, sorry. ;-)
