Tonight, I finally discovered why I have been sabotaged and
treated with disdain and sheer hostility by a few colleagues in my
new workplace.
It was because I fought hard to be in there, instead of being
posted out of the ICU. These folks worked hard to earn the 'right'
to be where they are and here I am, a newbie with lesser paper
qualifications than them, stepping into their turf. 
They used to have other colleagues who were also
non-trained like me, in their territory, but those other colleagues
are no longer allowed inside because they don't hold the necessary
paper qualifications yet.
Neither do I. But because of some 'special private assignment' that
I was initially slated to do and which I no longer need to do now,
I was transferred there, not by choice, but by supreme command from
the higher-up's. 
I had my own agenda... I needed to keep myself in there because
I'll be heading for Australia soon and I need my last work
environment to be in an area that I intend to specialise in and
further my studies in, to improve my chances of getting to do what
I really want over there.
So, here I was, just safeguarding my vested interests... but there
they were, thinking that I was snobbish and presumptious enough to
step inside and work with them.
So, for the longest time, I was targetted and a few of them went
all out to make my life miserable.
Gee, I actually withstood all that mistreatment and am still
standing strong!
Not an easy feat... I do have my down days and man, I really
appreciate my close friends who've been standing by me! Couldn't
have done it all and kept my sanity intact without them!
Now that I know the truth of the matter, my suspicions are
confirmed and well, although I'm STILL targetted and disliked by a
few, I know that I'm still standing strong, I'm still a fighter,
and I'm still a survivor!
Wahooooo!! Stormy weather still ahead, but it
ain't gonna git me down!
