Change…
Change is always taking place. Changes in the world of science. Changes of opinion. Changes of hairstyles. Changes in the weather. Changes of government. The changing of the guard. Foreign exchange. Change down the sofa…you get the point!
Now, change is all well and good – when it’s going on outside the office that is! But recently there have been changes going on inside Off The Back HQ, and it’s making me uneasy…
It takes time when you start a new job, to settle in. You spend the first few weeks just trying to blend in where you sit, then, you start putting out the feelers and seeing how far you can go. Sometimes you find you can push your luck and other times you get that feeler chopped off for going too far. It’s all part of the process of settling in, finding that ‘workplace equilibrium’. And up until recently, this had been achieved.
Now though, the dynamics have changed. Strangers have arrived, and I think they’re here to stay! All that time and effort spent finding a balance, establishing the do’s and don’ts – wasted, for it’s all got to change again.
I don’t know either of them. Where they’re from? What’s their agenda? Are they aliens in disguise? Who knows? Certainly not me! All I know is their names – Letitia and Daniel. Then again, maybe that’s just their cover names?
I’ve always been wary of strangers, but to me these two seem alright, if not a little ‘shady’. I’ll have to give them a chance. Let the dust settle and the new equilibrium be set.
In a way, it’s good not being the ‘noobie’ any more, but only time will tell if these mysterious characters will bring change for the better, or simply beam us up for…‘probing’.
