Okay, this is whiny and immature, but I needed to get it out.
Our whole office was going out to lunch together today because our bosses are out of town and we can take a longer lunch. I had planned to run to the dentist office to pick up something during my lunch break. When I heard everyone was going I said to the whole room, "Well if nobody will tell on me, I'll go to lunch with yall and then swing by the dentist office afterwards. My co-worker (and friend) asks me where the dentist is. I tell her and she says that it is a long way and I will be gone an extra 45 minutes. I told her its never taken me that long, its very close. She said, well, what about the traffic? And I said, why would there be traffic this time of day? Then I asked her, so what's the matter, are you going to tell on me or something? She said, no, I was just pointing out that it wouldn't be just a 'little while' (which I never actually said anyway). So then when they were leaving, people started asking me why I was still sitting there, aren't I going? I said, no, I have an errand to run. One girl said, I thought you said you were going to swing by after lunch? I wanted to say, well I was but apparently Stacy (not her real name) doesn't approve, but instead I said I just changed my mind. Stacy looked at me and just walked out the door. I know she knew why I wasn't going. We had just had the conversation about 5 minutes before. So after they left I sat and cried at my desk. This desk has had too much crying. Now I feel terrible and depressed.
