what do you when, let's say, you moved out of your neighborhood because of certain people you don't like for reasons that are, say, valid, and moved into a new neighborhood, one that you liked very much.  you get settled, you enjoy the new atmosphere without the shadows of the people you left behind being cast over you and you're almost certain that you won't be leaving.  then one day, one familiar face moves into town.  someone you knew from your former hood; someone who you knew, except for your current neighbors, that has a negative influence and is one of many reasons why you left that former neighborhood.  you keep silent, and just go about your daily business.  but as the days and weeks pass by, you see more of your reasons-why-you-left-your-former-neighborhood move in.  and all of a sudden, you have this sort of premonition wherein you see the old ways are being rekindled and those people who moved in are huddled together, sharing an evil laugh together as if they have found a new world to plunder and pillage.  what do you do?  you have almost fallen in love with the neighborhood that you don't want to leave, but what about the people moving in?

that's what i have been seeing over the past few weeks.  people from my old center moving in.  some have already been accepted and some, well, are still in the interview process.  although there was one person i saw who i can sing praises about.  he was walking around with a member of the top brass of the process and they passed by our department and i managed to say hi and shook his hand.  i even told his companion that he is a good man and should be considered for the job he's applying for.  but the rest, well, they were all part of the reasons i left my former center.  and i just heard last week that one of the top people in my list who i dislike and have the utmost disdain for was being interviewed!  my god!  if there was only a way for me to talk to our human resources department and tell them the work ethics of these people, or just beg for them not to be accepted here…  *sigh* oh well…  at least they're in different departments.  the least i can do is, well, spread the word about their skeletons.  and hopefully, maybe people around them will notice their habits from the get-go and dump them immediately.

what a way to end the work week…  😦
