Deliberately excluded from writing an article about the minemela scandal by feature head. Although I'm quite relieved about not having to write that article, it still hurts that I was excluded. Oh well, the moving bush is just playing her usual politics anyway, hoping to hurt me in the process. Well, of course it worked, but i tell myself i was relieved not having to write that story (so overdone as it is).. but of course it doesn't work. Feel in the pits - it's like primary school all over again, want to talk more about it to friend but she's already said enough to assuage my hurt feelings, so i don't want to bug her anymore. I can only imagine that she's going to say that the moving bush is just doing her usual manipulative tactics, and that the moving bush forgot that she wasn't talking to her either last month. MB can't stop talking to half of her team otherwise it makes her look bad or like it's her fault, so she has to exclude or isolate one person to greater effect. The only other thing i can comfort myself with is that I write better than feature head and that I don't need to form a TEAM to go look for stories. Well, no that doesn't make me feel better either. What gives me a little encouragement is that I have a great friend who'll stand up for me.
