Aye, I'm tired already

I didn’t realise I triggered a bomb in the office today till i got an email that started with a curt “Miss Tan”. Thinking back, its really laughable the contents that triggered it off. Merely a suggestion that I disprove of her idea and would suggest another option. Funny as it seems, my initial reaction was to get irritated, angry. Felt like snapping at her to “Get Real. Deal with it.” But in the end I opted for a neutral reply, in fact, even thanking her for a heads up.
Sometimes I wonder, since when did the office get wrought with landmines.
I still stand by my suggestions as I believe one needs to have a certain standard of excellance in work. Not just mere adaptations, blind adaptations. I don’t hold back suggesting something better just because it bruises your ego.
Yet sometimes I do toy with the idea of leaving. Silly, yes, to leave a job where I’m still happy and excited about because of someone who’s been draining my enthusiasm in the office space. Someone whom I should theoretically be able to keep minimal work contact with.
But I’ve decided, I have options, and I owe it to myself to by happy. I’m seriously abit tired of tip-toeing around her.
If she’s not leaving, I am.
