Drama No More

Well, yes, there is still drama going on within the walls of the building where I work, but I have removed myself from it. I made a decision within a day after my last post, but I left it up hoping maybe a few others would comment. So, thank you to the two (Mel & Sandy!) who did. It was greatly appreciated. :o)

My final decision was to remove myself from the drama. I just wouldn't participate in it. If someone said something to me, I decided that I just wouldn't comment back. Although I did speak up late Friday afternoon when someone was saying bad things about so-and-so and I said, "No. That is inaccurate." It felt good. What was ironic about it all was that my friend was making the situation personal when it really shouldn't have been that way. So what was I doing? Well, I was taking her response to said situation and making it personal. *sigh* Once I let go and realized that I didn't have to be a part of it all, I felt much better. I can offer words of support to her and I can offer thoughts about how I would handle a situation like the one she is in, but I will not speak to her as if I agree with her. Because I don't. And that was one huge thing that I realized on Friday. I feel for my friend during this tumultuous time at work, but I don't know that I agree with her take on the situation. And that's okay because I don't have to. I can only encourage her to be true to herself and her own beliefs and I will do the same thing with myself. It may mean that we might not see eye to eye on some things, but if our friendship is as strong as I think it is, then that won't be an issue at all. :)
