Last Thursday, our boss called a meeting. There was reshuffling of work assignment. I learned that my assistant-nanay in the office will be assigned to another  department. She’s being groomed as administrative officer. You see my assistant has a master’s degree on her crown. I was deeply affected by this. I asked for reconsideration but it was denied. What’s more sad was they wanted to assign me to a very inefficient secretary whom I cannot completely trust.  I walked out of the meeting but my boss called for me so i went back. I chose the other secretary.

For 3 days I’ve been enveloped by this extreme sadness. My back hurt so bad because of my scoliosis, my hyperacidity attacked, and I had extreme headache all brought about by triggered by stress from this new silly arrangement.

I’ve been praying real hard so that I could accept and understand the things beyond my control. Yesterday, i went to the Lourdes Shrine to attend the First Saturday mass. While waiting for the mass to start, I heard my text message alert. I checked it and I read the message of the Administrative head. She said she wiill reconsider my case. I can still have Ate Brine. She told me she saw the sadness in my eyes. I thanked her. So now, I have two secretaries. I told her not to totally pull out Ate Brine from me because she is my nanay in the  office.

It was only then that I stopped crying.
