colleagues

colleagues plays an important part in a working environment. if there's a sucky boss, at least there're good colleagues worth hanging onto the job. but what happens when supposedly good colleagues became fair-field ones?

my company is slowly expanding. new colleagues are usually based on referrals on either one of us. so recently came onboard was naturally one of my colleagues' friends. they're all of the same or similar age group. suddenly, i felt really young and ignorant. i just couldn't fit in....

perhaps i'm being oversensitive but sometimes, it didn't seem to be that way.

for their age group, they look at things with a high-class brand tag to it. and best still, diamonds are their best friends! maybe when i'm their age, i would start to appreciate such things. but for now, when they go goo-goo-gaa-gaa over stones, i would stand one side and appreciate the brillance of the stones and the design with total no clue what the hell is princess cuts, solitaire cut blah blah blah. while i was dreaming one day would i have the chance to be the designer of the accessories, they would be dreaming when would be the day they be owner for that accessory.

poor me.

for now, i see it as silence would be the best tools. they talk, i'll just keep quiet and observed. no intentions to participate in their group talk which i may or may not know what's going on. furthermore, i don't see a point for them to come to my level since i'm not an interesting girl to be fussed at in the 1st place.

as the team will eventually become bigger, i could more or less see where i'll be. for now, before 2 more ppl will be joining us, i could only speculate.

and i know my speculations will be for real.... =/
