And there it was, for the first time in my life I didn't fight tooth and nails to get the things done. When the higher ups refused to cooperate, I did not use all my charm, logic and ration and maybe a bit of manipulative powers to persuade them otherwise. I just told my people to let it go and watch out for themselves, because " when and if shit hits the fan, nobody is going to back us up, not the people who turned us down. " When we walked out, one of them was visibly upset. I told him that we did all that we could and they left us no choice but to do nothing. I drove home and forgot about it in 10 minutes..
I have yet to recognize the person that I am becoming: the girl who lives in a small town, stays in a semi-boring but very safe job with no desire or plan to leave it anytime soon, and has no fight or ambitions left in her....
