it's easy to get paranoid and all this especially when our former temporary boss out of the blue asked me about the hometown Blogger lawsuit we've worked together for five months with out mentioned and then he leaves on the desk and asked me what the status Dean Dean gave a shrug and said he thought it was still discovery I said nothing but got the feeling this was somehow put on for my benefit since one of the sales people had just asked Dean For James's e-mail
since james hates the hometown blogger and has been out to
get her for years, this conduit between our staff and him is more than a little
uncomfortable
The suit against the hometown blogger is mostly about
getting information as to whom the sources are.
Our former temporary boss believes I feed the blogger
information from inside our paper, but in fact the principle source is a woman
named kboken, whose identity James aches to find out, and is the hometown
blogger’s best kept secret.
Kboken has posted things in the hometown blog about what
goes on inside our paper even I was unaware of.
I suspect kboken is our boss, the female editor, who
sabotaged our former temporary boss during her first maternity leave, and is
responsible for the owners withdrawing their offer to make him editor in chief
when she got back.
Since kboken and the hometown blogger have posted so much
about our poet’s alleged dealings inside our office, all this inquiry may not
be a coincidence. Although it is possible our former temporary boss got
inspired by James.
I knew a lot more about the lawsuit than I let on, The
hometown blogger was winning the suit, and this must have frustrated all of her
enemies
I’m still not convinced that our poet’s activities in regard
to our office is prompted by some unholy alliance with James – though it is
possible.
Our former temporary boss dislikes James and the grip James
has on our male owner, which feeds into the speculation that he may be in cahoots
with our poet, since his efforts to control the paper came about the same time
as our poet seemed to get involved with both our male owner and temporary boss.
I also do not believe that our former temporary boss
operated on James’ behalf in going after the hometown blogger.
Our former temporary boss has his own reasons for hating the
hometown blogger, in particular some of the suggestions the blog posted about
his relationship with our poet.
Our poet’s recent essay dissing the male owner of our office
seems to fit into this paranoid puzzle – questioning his ethics as well as
suggesting potential scandal.
She still has to be peeved about the fact that our owners
refused to pay her what she was worth as the paper’s best writer.
Since our male owner knew about our former temporary boss’
alleged involvement with our poet, this may explain the total disrespect our
owner has for him.
I can imagine the friction between our poet and our male
owner since I honestly believe she has feelings for our former temporary boss,
and merely used our owner to get what she thinks she deserved.
This may also explain her essay going after our office and perhaps
our owner in particular.
While I believe the Small Man is the person who encouraged
our poet to resign from our office, I suspect she holds a number of people
inside our office responsible: me, our owner and perhaps others.
All this may be water already under a bridge, since it is
clear, even with her parting shot at us, she is moving on to greener pastures, wherever
they might wind up.
