It is time that I learn that not everyone is worthy of the same amount of trust, no matter how friendly or genuine they may seem to be at first. This latest one is far from being the first time that my open nature was taken advantage of; and it probably wouldn't be my last at this rate. I'm sick and tired of trusting people and believing they'll always act in my best interests, and later learning that the feeling was never mutual.
It's so true what they say; don't wear your heart on your sleeve at work, or for that matter almost everywhere else. People are thus less disinclined to give it a light stab when they feel like doing so.
A lesson learnt a little too late, but nevertheless learnt as well. In retrospect, at least I know what to look out for when I start teaching; though I'm certain then that office politics will take on a whole new level of ugliness. I got what I wanted out of this job; it was fun working there from start to the end and I learnt something about work and life that I had never been taught throughout all 12 years of study.
