Office politics can be crazy. I had never really experienced office politics at the magnitude that they were exhibited here at Donnelly Industries. It was amazing to watch it all unfold. What no one knew about me was that I was very observant. I noticed things that no one else noticed; even more, I noticed things that I had no business noticing. It was no wonder that I was noticing things around the office that I know shouldn't be going on.

It seemed that there was some inappropriate interacting going on. It appeared that Dana spent a lot of time in Kelvin's office. I assumed that they were talking about work, but she always seemed to be draped over his desk, shoving extra large breasts in his face. She seemed to be giggling a lot, too. From what I had heard from Kelvin, he wasn't that funny.

I had been warned by Ron to keep my nose out of things.

"Dana, you are a good worker. Do your work, keep your nose clean, and don't be extra friendly with these people. They will use what you say against you. Always remember, people are watching you. No one has your back here. Cover your own butt."

I smiled and thanked him for his advice. Coming from a man that was obviously over qualified for the job, it was sage advice.

I kept my eyes open as well as prayed. I liked Donnelly Industries, so I wanted to see it flourish. I needed the job as well. With the economy being what it was, I really needed the job.

Samuel walked by me smiling. I shook my head and nodded. I didn't trust that joker as far as I could throw him. There was just something shady about him. He was always in David's face, rather in his rear end. It was amazing, Samuel would tattle on the people in the department to David, and David would then turn and tattle to Kelvin. Last time I had checked, this wasn't the first grade. I thought we all were grown folk, but I guess that might not have been the case.

I shook my head as I watch Samuel creep right over to David's desk. Samuel looked around the room before saying something to David. I wish I could have read lips, as nosey as I was; I wanted to know who they were talking about. I went back to my work; I didn't want to give either one of them anything to say about me.
