tikster Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 ok, wells as we all know, my co worker-ex is living it up. well now his parents are checking into the hotel that we work at. i was supposed to be working today, but i have the stomache flu (which sux mucho). I called in sick at like 5 am b-cuz i figured id be sleeping all day. so my co worker calls later on in the day to see if i was really sick because rumor has it, that i am trying to ditch working because i am embarrassed to be working with his parents there. yea, ill admit that i thought it was going to be awkward, but i was planning on working. now i'm only embarrased b-cuz everyone at work now knows about the situation and i feel like the butt of the joke. im really over this idiot and even met a few ppl. i just wish that this nightmare would be over, cuz im honestly over it. right now im trying to look for a new job, not just b-cuz of him but in order to prepare myself for my future career. i just wish there was a way for me to show these ppl that im not really stressing over this as mucha s they think i am without it looking like im "trying" to pretedn that im over it.
polywog Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Oh, so it's finally happening? I find it interesting that he called up! Just take it easy, girl.... we all know (who've read your threads) that you are so superior to the New Girl (if she'e even still in the picture). Keep posting.
Author tikster Posted March 31, 2007 Author Posted March 31, 2007 oh sorry. i meant that he hasn't called me. i called in sick to work b-cuz i am in fact sick, but my coworkers (not him, he's too busy somewhere else) seem to think that it's b-cuz i don't want to face his parents, whom ive never met.
StaringContest Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Well that's dumb. Why would you be embarrassed? Would they even know who you are? That's office gossip for you. You just have to ignore it. People will think and say things about you your whole life, no matter where you work. People like drama and gossip. You know why you called in sick, and you know you're moving on from this guy. Just remind yourself that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Don't bother yourself with trying to do anything to convince anyone else.
polywog Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 I agree with staringcontest. Just be sick and forget about all that other crap. In a few years it will be a blip in your memory. That ex bf is just immature, and I know you know it. Just drink lots of fluids, watch trashy TV shows, relax, and treat yourself like the queen you are. DO NOT torment yourself over the ex's parents, because in the long run, who cares? Not you!
Cossette4 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 It's just people's human nature to make a drama out of everything. Some people take pleasure in rolling around in other people's sadness, and they'll try to speculate that every move you make must be due to the fact that you are horribly depressed over a breakup. Think about all the magazines you still see that are trying to sell covers with the tagline: "Jennifer Aniston's Tragic Heartache." All because they probably saw her frowning one day. For me personally, I am "over him" but still angry about the pain and betrayal he put me through. I feel like many of my friends interpret my mood as a sign that I am soooo sad and lonely when really I just want to punch him in the face. We just have to be the bigger people, and our success and growth will be our best revenge.
Kamille Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 The only thing that sucks more then the flu is work gossip. Don't worry about it, most office gossip (such as the one you're the center of) is mindless. People will focus on this for a few days and move on to the next thing tomorow. At the same time, it would be possible to think that the coworker who called was actually concerned about you, and wanted to show that he or she cared. Take care of yourself! Feel better soon.
