i'd rather someone be honest and real than be nice to me.  and being real doesn't have to mean being outright offensive either.  but nice lies are not helpful. 

I was talking to a coworker at work and i said...."I really don't want to go if it means having to sit there alone with her".   I was referring to my boss.  
Well, to my chagrin, my boss was sitting in the next room listening to this conversation.  She didn't say anything about it and I didn't acknowledge that I knew she heard.
okay, it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  If she knows I don't prefer her company, so be it.  It shouldn't be a surprise to her at all if she thinks about how she treats me.  But I was curious how she might have taken it.

Just to bounce thiss off someone else,  I told a friend what happened....and all she could say is .... "oh, there's nothing wrong with what you said.  don't worry, I wouldn't be offended by that.  you're fine.  you didn't say anything bad. "

HUH?  if I heard someone say about me....."I don't want to go if Chri's going to be there"   i'd prolly be a tad offended, wouldn't you? 
silly woman, she wasn't making me feel better, she was making me think she's absurd if she thinks I'm so simpleminded that i'd be placated by this false assurance.   talking to her is pointless sometimes.

anyways....lol... snicker snicker.  i need to keep my mouth shut at work..

Re:
Yeah.  Once one of the guys at work and I dissected a co-worker... afterward I realized he was sitting in his office, in hearing range.  I kept playing and replaying the conversation in my head afterward, and found that I still try to convince myself that there was "nothing bad."  I think part of being adult is recognizing that we can and do hurt people.
