hole in a paper heart
i have become a sounding board as of late for my co-workers grievances regarding one another and it's really starting to wear me down, not to mention putting me in a very awkward spot.
in some ways i like being the person everyone trusts and confides in but i don't like knowing everyones' secrets. some people might see this as a great advantage but i think it's a burden. conflict makes me uneasy and knowing that everyone is in secret conflict with everyone else and no one is admitting to it is frightful.
a client today described me as "polite, kind, reserved and in my own little world." i thought that was quite amusing, i guess lately i have been in my own world. content to just putz about my office letting people come to me with concerns, when they feel compelled. however, i think the underlying tension is making me hole up more than normal....
maybe that five day mediation and conflict resolution training will came in handy real soon!
ah well, this too shall pass.

somebody please remind me to blog about my theory regarding knowledge, vocation and language. it's a good one and it deserves more time and effort than my brain can muster at this hour.
i promise you will be mused.
