Talk Without Speaking

What? Did I say:

…in with what are most likely my dying days at my current job

How prophetic of me!

Today ‘they’ announced that our office is closing. People are being offered the chance to relocate or they are being offered severance packages. The mood today was … hmm…what? Shocked? I guess. There certainly wasn’t much work getting done. It’s, in a way, sad but this doesn’t affect me as it does many many others here. The writing was on the wall and my foot was already half way out the door. However, there are many here who’s roots are still planted even while mine are not.

I do feel (very) sad for all that we have worked for and I would certainly say that some of that is being lost.

Meanwhile I have other fish to fry and other crusades to dodge (or parry). Where is my deterrence when I need it? Mind you, that’s only 10 seconds worth and that, my friends, is certainly not enough by far. I know I’m not always the one to seek the peaceful solution to all problems but that doesn’t mean that I either always take the confrontational route nor that I don’t wish I was different at times. As weak as I am I am strong enough to stop myself from being swept by. I hope.

Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I’d sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let’s go there
Let’s make our escape
