Office politics

One door closes?

There's some big changes happenning here and they're okay. I'm okay with it.
My role here, at Polly HQ, is changing, and that might change things here in The World, too.
With work.
For a few years now I've been the one driving work, first as a waitress at The Palace, then as Manager of the Bugsplat Visitor Centre, and now, with our two jobs at The Office and The Tree.

Gray has got a lot of really interesting work that he enjoys now, after a long wait, both the kewl jobs have arrived at once and he's working very hard. We're going to be okay financially and it could be a good time for me to slow down work and to think about other work.

Better work.
Maybe I'll focus my working energy towards helping Calypso go forward with her dreams.
There's plenty of room for my skills to be useful to her. She really needs me.
Admittedly she can't pay me anything, given as she shares this body with me, but perhaps she'll earn money for us one day with her dance stuff, or her dance stuff will keep us sane and strong enough for another one of the Castle or Hinchinbrook types to earn money for us. Or to bring Pia back. I am a supporter of dance now, of Calypso's dance. I believe it is going to help us and I want to help Calypso get better as a dancer and teacher and all the rest.

I know that we'll never rest as a system until we resolve things with Pia.
Pia likes us to be strong. Dance helps.

There's a lot about me I never knew. I know what that river is for. If we knew what we truly know we could never discover it. And each time we discover it, it is new. And we get another chance to see it as it truly is. I have theories. A few. About it all. One thing I will say is I think I know that if people had known who I really was then it would have not come as a surprise to anyone that it was me, Trouble, who ended up leading dungeon when Viola's work was done. I've figured that out at last. Only took five years.

I thank god for Dark Personalities.
I'm glad we lived long enough to understand this. I'm glad I'm here to understand this.
I'm glad we have this unique life.
I'm glad to know not just my beloved dungeon, but my new sisters from Castle.
I love them.
