VINDICATED

One fine evening while i was at work, i had a visitor who needed some documentations we had done for a program earlier, i sounded like an easy feet to do, i told him to come the next morning for copies of the documments.
That same evening my boss saw me making the documents and said nothing about it being wrong. I did not know it would be the beginning of what would end as a crazy service year.
The next morning my boss, called me in along with the other Nysc interns and told me to pack up my stuff and move to the next department and that my services were no longer required. I felt the world shake inside of me, a million questions were flying allover the place in my mind. I just found a sit and sat there, I pleaded and others pleaded for me, eventually he agreed to keep me.
But it was not over, things got bad, and worse. I got complaints about my handling of things (Yes some of which are my fault), i got shouted at, again and again. but then things worse again,I was accused of being tribal, that i only did jobs for a certain boss and not for others. I was judged even without me knowing my jurors, it got so bad that i practically begged for time to pass
for me to leave with whatever was left of my sanity or self worth, my self esteem was in an all time low. I was given more and more to do and my other coleges did not seem to help out. One was good and could not stay for long and the other awe full and lazy.
Several times i had been frustrated, and blamed for even their mistakes (the other interns).
Things could not get more worse than that for me.
About a week to my finishing my service year, i learnt the truth. One of the other interns had been putting poison in the mind of my bosses.
He had sold me out many times, and made it look as though i was not doing anything at all.
I also learnt that my bosses knew it was poison and decided to simulate the negative effects that i may learn several crucial lessions.
The saddest part is knowing i had been betrayed by someone, who i really wanted to take my place but was just plainly jealous and envious and was trying to make all the faults even his look as though they were mine.
At my sentforth, I has vindicated and rewarded for my actions even before my enemies. I was honoured by my boss, the one who said i should be moved to another department.
All my bosses, wanted me to learn two things.
1. Whereever you find yourself working, there will be different types of bosses, so who will want to make you and other who will want to break you into pieces.
2. Your colleages even your friends can betray you, some will sell you out to look good, but even so, someone is looking at you and waiting for you to either rise to the occation or fall like the walls of Jericho.
