06:38 pm - They keep me late in an Industrial Estate
About time I thank folk for their concern for me regarding the current day-job, and whether I've still got one. This would be after my post from over a month ago: "...saw an appointment ad for the very position I hold, suggesting they're looking for a bilingual replacement." Of course, when it comes to the biopic or autobiography this scene will see me having to compose the text for the very ad that could be my undoing.
As for now, the deal is: I am still here and being kept busy enough thank you very much. How secure my position is - I can't tell. Another copywriter has yet to appear, but even if they do: it *might* not jeopardise my place here. This is because there seems to be a silent war being waged between two of my superiors - something that I was oblivious to when one of them started handing me work to do. Since then the other -the woman who interviewed and hired me- seems to have stopped giving me work to do. This could be be mere coincidence, but it does seem odd. And the way that my other colleagues get evasive and seem petrified when I dare ask what's going on does suggest that something is up. So it's perhaps not too far-fetched to suggest that I've accidentally become someone else's employee while staying in the same company. And that neither of them wants to share me.
I'm not sure what surprises me anymore. But that's a whole other story.
Hope you had a lovely Lunar New Year period. Were you one of those stage-divers at the Noise Pop gig? I like you. That's the probably the best crowd I've played to. Certainly the most lively.
And has anyone seen Gwyneth Paltrow in Singapore in the last few days? Or do you happen to know for sure where she was - which country - last Sunday? I'm curious to know.
