Gone perhaps forgotten feb 10, 2014

 


now that she is vacated her position I can't find anyone to tell me exactly what she did at the job.

if we got press releases from her I never saw any, although she took a lot of photos and apparently sent a lot of photos to our editor who did nothing with them either out of spite or for some reason I can't understand

but it is clear that in the office  where she worked she frequently posted photos on social media of her in groups of workmates

occasionally I noticed at the commissioner's meeting that she was often isolated in a corner

this sense of isolation was also true at our office where she seemed not really to fit in with the crowd, even though when she resigned they held a party for her which of course I did not attend

it is very difficult I think to be part of a group and still be as ambitious as she was making her way up the food chain to the top in each place she seemed to work

I think very few people in any of these workplaces really understood what she was up to and the feeling I get is that she was really not part of the group even when she posed for photos with them

She was more interested in making her way up the power ladder to reach that place with elite reside, connecting herself to powerful people when she did not have power of her own

from what I could gather in our office and from the tidbits I get out of where she worked until recently, she need to feel important and acted that way and this may have alienated her with some others who might have been put off by her aggressive behavior

One insider claims that she came and went on her own schedule often not coinciding with the other workers but he could not tell me whether there was resentment against her over this apparent sense of superiority

I know when she worked at our office she sometimes took days off in some cases attributing it to a stomach virus or something an excuse she used several times when she had me up to her apartment during a work day

which also made me jealous thinking that every time she took off from work she was entertaining someone

the small man used to complain about the fact that our poet while still worked on our office refused to attend events that happened after dark at least in regards to meetings and such

When required to be at meetings in her position as press person, she looked bored and insignificant sitting in the front row among the public there but did not seem to have much purpose

her loss of job whether she resigned or fired will likely affect her in a numbe of different ways. she loses her base income and must now maintain rent and other ways but she loses her status as an insider as well and even her platform for finding a new power figure may be compromised,

 she is without purpose and without a plan to jump to her next project. she is back to where she was when forced to quit our office or maybe even a worse situation since she cannot make use of her resources she developed on our office and must start from scratch somewhere although whatever it is that's haunting her is more fundamental than at other times she may seriously be ill
