awakening or mere realisation?
Despite the awkwardness around D during tech (strat) planning and the frustration of not being able to put my mind on synthesizing information required in the completion of my tasks and meeting of my deadlines, I had a decent day overall.
The antics of the two ladies in the department simply made me break into laughter with their wit peppered all over the conversation. These two ladies are new additions to a lovely life at the workplace, these days, especially with the departure of many the past year. Mrs T's warm smile definitely
I managed to talk to A, who as usual, with his caring self, dropped an SMS to check if I'd had lunch (when he actually had his already). A pretext to eschew work, I can't guarantee, but the smile he flashed and subtle gestures to check on me have never failed to make my day. There's something very cool but mature about him. Also, he is real and I feel so easy talking to him. Thinking through, I'd be so happy to find someone.. like him.
We even had tea after school, when I revealed a little about The Incident followed by how we grew up in/with our religions with such ease. For dinner, I met up with the two ladies again, this time with DP, who just had his first day at his new workplace.
For all that has happened, I now feel numb. It's the emotional fatigue that's making me in such a state, though less deplorable. Whatever it is, these lovely people I'm surrounded with at work is breaking the stillness with their presence, I feel a little more human now. I just need to continue to fight it as to attend to my work with my usual productivity as compared to now.
