A day in the life…

Everyone’s got to move on. In this particular entry, I mean professionally.

So after how many months, I’m pretty happy that my SO has found where he was meant to go. Yep, he’s leaving our esteemed company. He’s moving to a post production company by early next month.

And now everyone thinks I’m depressed.

What…?!

After taking our lunch, my boss called me into his office. He told me how happy he was for my SO because he knows he’s going to be fine in his next employment. Apparently, he and my art director are worried about me, since I’m gonna be left here. "I know you’re attached to him emotionally, and you guys support each other," blah, blah. So he thinks that if Gio’s not around, I might be too lonely and sad to work.

Even my other officemates come up to me and say, "Mama, aalis na si Gio, awww. Lungkot ka?"

I just answer that question with a laugh. Hello! It’s not like he’s going far, far away and we’d not see each other anymore. It’s not like he’s breaking up with me. Okay, so maybe I’m a bit sad ‘coz he’s not gonna sit with me during lunch anymore and stuff like that. But honestly, I’m very happy for him because finally he’s going to a company where I know he can learn more, more than he can actually learn here. He’ll have training in video editing, something our office cannot offer him. He told me ever since we got together that he wants to venture into editing and eventually directing, perhaps a short film, and his next employment will offer him that, after six months of training.

So see, I’m not that sad. No one has to worry about how will this affect me emotionally, because I have been expecting this for a long time now, and I know he’ll be in good hands. It might mean seeing less of each other, but we promised we’ll always be in touch. And hello? He’ll be here until early June, so that’s cool. But believe me, when he leaves Maverick, I’ll be fine.

Goodness, everyone just blows some things out of proportion, don’t they?
