What isn't clear in all her poetic posting recently is
exactly what transpired and who betrayed her and just who is the Good Samaritan
that picked her up off the floor.
There are rumors, of course, none of which can be relied on
to be accurate, some of which revolve around the perpetual issue of money
While she did get a $20,000 annual increase in her salary
last May -- less than 6 months after being hired on as the mayor's confidential
assistant -- the rumor claims she was due for a second increase, the amount of
which varies on who you talk to
The rumor claims she didn't receive it and this same rumor
says someone else in her office did, something she uncovered when opening the
mayor's mail one day
At which point, all hell broke loose since this other person
was someone she worked fairly closely within the office and may have trickled
up in the municipal power grid of head of her.
I'm not certain how much to believe in this rumor since she
is well connected in City Hall on several levels: RR became parking authority director; Joey d
is a second most powerful person in the city; and the public safety director is
as much in love with her as our former temporary boss
if the rumor is accurate then she must have truly felt
betrayed especially if the person who allegedly got the raise instead of her
was tapping the same people she was. The rumor in fact goes on to claim she got
in trouble for opening the mayor's private correspondence which is somewhat
ridiculous since she is after all the confidential aide to the mayor.
Still in fighting is a problem in small institutions and is
not unheard of especially with the rogues gallery that surrounds the Virgin
mayor, all of whom look to get their piece of the patronage pie and if her
competition slept with the right people, it is reasonable to assume that woman
got the raise our poet soon the city would give her especially when she assumed
she had put together the right coalition of power people
Figuring out this bit of information might have knocked her
to the floor painting this as a political issue rather than a romantic one as
previous poems suggest.
who is the Good Samaritan who picked her up and dusted her
off and gave her a glimmer of hope is a mystery as well, most likely Joey d
though that's only a guess based on reports that he's trying to find her a job
down in the peninsula City if he manages to get a new mayor elected there.
She writes about redemption implying significant change and
the misinterpretation -- at least in my mind -- she needs to be forgiven for some real or
imagined in fraction, part of a Peyton place of interrelationships which has
her seeing herself as immoral when she is not -- or at least no more immoral
than the rest of us or in particular those who surround her now
This bringing us back who should be casting the first stone.
Not only should she not cast the stone at herself but neither should the rest
of us or as to modify and old comedy record: “we are all sinners on this bus.”
