Bad day in office.

After a day off-work, I dragged my feet to work this morning.

The first person I talked to gave me the bad news. While I was away, there was a controversy within the office, and I am the main character in the whole charade.

This whole thing erupted due to a member of the senior management feeling dissatistified with the way I have been handling correspondence with outside parties. I don't even report to this person; she is in-charge of the sister company of ours.

I admit that I should have been more tactful when dealing with the outsiders. But she shouldn't be reacting this way. Looking at things now, my company and her's are heading towards a head-on collision. The longer this goes on, the more childish she is becoming.

I don't care whatever she's going to do next. I know where I stand. She should choose her battle carefully. For her to fight someone as small as me makes her look stupid and short-sighted.

But maybe she knows of the consequences of her actions. Maybe she really wants to fight me, because she is sure that all my bosses will back me up. If that's the case, then I'll be in the centre of a proxy war.

Office politics... Beyond imagination, but yet entertaining.
