that one lady at work who always got on my nerves.. remember? the one whose laziness was intolerable..
i was never nice to her.. i always copped a tude when there was an exchange of words between us.. which was pretty rare since i would try to avoid her. every little thing she did bugged the crap out of me. i don't know why.. i'd like to think it was all her.. but it wasn't.
i was talking to my boss when i got in this morning.. explaining that i would be in late next tuesday since i'm supposed to get that biopsy performed. as i was walking to my desk, my name is faintly uttered.. i turn around, and to my dismay it was her. whatever she had to say.. i wasn't interested.
she had somehow overheard..
"hey, angie.. i heard you talking to trish about your appointment".. i could feel my blood boiling. infuriated that she eavesdropped and even had the audacity to approach me.. i was ready to blow.. but she continued..
".. and i know that it's a very scary time for you especially since you have no idea what's going on. i just want to let you know that i've been where you are right now.. and my results actually came out to be the worst.. they diagnosed me with cervical cancer a few years ago. luckily, i'm okay now.. if you need someone to help you get through this, i'm here. i'm sure your results will be in your favor though.. but whatever happens, i'm here if you need to talk"..
i was speechless. the one person in my department who i could not stand -- something she was fully aware of.... i never knew she battled cancer.. and for her to offer her support like that considering the way i've acted towards her.. it really means a lot.. you just never know, man.. you never know.. i just hope.. i just pray that she's right.. that the test results will indeed.. come out in my favor.
i almost feel inclined to skip out on the appointment which is exactly in one week.. i'm scared terrified.
