A Work in Progress

Written by Abigail Abrahams on September 2, 2010 – 8:04 pm -

You know how it is. Just when you think you’re okay, something happens to shake things up.

For me it happened this morning.

On my way to work, I hurried along, late as usual.

Less than 50 metres from my gate is a parking entrance for a group of businesses.

A car stopped to let me pass. I looked up to say thank you and could have sworn it was an ex-b/f.

Not just any ex. THE one every woman should have at least once in her life.

But I couldn’t be sure. Even though the car’s number plate had his name.

As if I needed something new to obsess about!

Then at work today I had to pack up my office for my move tomorrow.

It was kind of sad because I loved my office for 5 years until this year. When I hated it.

Except for my colleague in the office next door. We had so much fun talking nonsense and sometimes fighting over stupid stuff.

I’m so glad he won’t be at work tomorrow or I might just have cried. While he laughed at me :-)

On the other hand, I’m getting to share a much nicer office space, have more interesting work to do and I will be away from the gossipers.

So I guess its not so bad.
