A Blessing

I always think I am blessed by this job. Back then along this offer I got another one from Verizon. I didn't know which one I should take. So I prayed and talked to one of my friends, and finally I took my current job mostly because this company was closer to home and less work to do. At very beginning I was not sure this was the place I wanted to be. Didn't really feel good of it. Somehow I chose to stay. The longer I stayed , the more I feel I made the right decision. One time I heard a friend saying the definition of good jobs - good pay, close to home, and less work. I thought about that, it's just too good to be true. But for me I can't get anything better than this. - It's a perfect job for me. I am not that greedy and don't compare with other people. I always feel happy at work.

Recently there was one thing bothered me a little bit. One of colleagues , she quited her job because of another colleague. She was pretty good at her job and I admired her a lot not only the way she was doing her job but also the way she treated people and I had great trust on her. Then one day she was in great fought via emails with this colleague. She filed a complaint against him and asked me to support her because she thought what he did to her was discrimination against female at work and me and her were the only females in the dept. I know that colleague sometime do not get along with people but he is not bad person, sometime just confronted like my other colleagues said. Then things were getting a little complicated and she really put me in hot spot. The day she quited I was so upset because she made me feel guilty about it. I think I did right thing - I just told the truth. I can not accuse other people by feelings.

I still care about her a lot and wish her the best. Also I learned a lesson - don't let other people take advantage of your kindness. - I was so kind to her and she thought I'd do what she asked me to do.
