Rose up early in the morning again and was at the office 7:06 a.m. Wore civies since it was allowed this whole week. After which went to our scheduled seminar at which I fought my sleepiness just to pay attention to the lecturer. One good thing about seminars is that there is almost always free food. Hehehe...
I went back to my desk at lunchtime. There... My manager gave me the bad news. The decision of the medical department which did not go in my favor triggered another memo informing me that the personnel department sent my papers to the investigation unit. Now this news did not immediately sink in. It was as if I was like unmindful of it. Went back to my desk and tried to sleep it off. At the end of the lunchbreak there began moments of staring blankly into nothing. I was sitting there motionless as if time had stopped. A feeling of hopelessness arose. A dark cloud was above me…
It was then that I began to realize the care and help being extended by my co wokers who expressed their sympathy and willingness to help. My immediate supervisors and other co workers talked to me and worked out something to help me out. Rarely do I experience this and it touched my heart. Most of the time I am alone dealing with whatever comes my way. Unfortunately this has never brought out a positive outcome. The gesture by my supervisors and co-workers gave me hope albeit a slim one. But at least I did not give up and just died…
