Survivor

Oh boy, was today awkard.

Priya is having to serve out her notice of 1 month. Thats okay. The fact that she is serving it out next to me and Jane (the survivors of the eviction) meant things were a little strained all day. Priya was trying to keep it together, and we were trying to be sensitive as possible. This superhuman effort still resulted in the following slippages across the course of the day:

1. Jane mentioning having to organise the team party that will be happening in October.
2. Me inadvertantly complaining I have to write up my personal development plan for next year.
3. Me redirecting a client to her regarding a meeting that will take place two days after she is scheduled to leave.
4. Jane mentioning she had " a wicked weekend" this morning. This was a case of mouth engaged while brain was not in gear.

Priya took these with the minimum of resentment, but the atmosphere was stifling. Like a huge fart that everyone was too polite to talk about, we talked about almost everything else apart from the events of last week. I don't think I can take another 30 days of this.
