This is interesting....

I agree with Lisa and Mary. I'm sorry it happened but hey, people are azzes sometimes. I had a similar situation at work. I was expected to go to a baby shower for a person who had been spreading nasty and untrue rumours about me. I talked to DH about it and he told me to go, dress to the nines, be happy and have fun. It was the best way to get payback because she was blabbing out of boredom with her own life and I was showing her how much I was enjoying mine. And all the people that really mattered that were there knew that what she said was BS.

I hope you go.

Well, I went. Not for the whole thing, but I brought M a gift (a bottle of wine from my favorite winery). They had the seminar room decorated up in Royal Purple and Red (we've always referred to M as Queen M) She had a crown, and the managers all wore princess hats. I remarked to my friends that the b!tch should have an a$$hat.

Funny, she told me it was busness office people only. There were people from the admitting department, finance, public health, and b!tch woman's daughter and her husband there.

It's over. I didn't glare, snarl or make a scene. I am a grown up. Dammit.

Good for you, Snap. My experience is, the nicer you are to people who've been not too nice to you, the more uncomfortable THEY get. And you end up with the secondary gain of enjoying their discomfort--pretty fun, actually.

Absolutely, I find that works very well....plus you can feel genuinely good about it too!

Wow, Snap - I am sorry I didn't see this yesterday. I completely agree with the idea of going and I am so glad you did. What a complete loser that b!tchy woman is. How petty can some people be?? That's what comes of having no life at all and having your self-identity defined through some menial sense of power derived from your job.

Loser.

You rock.

What MP said!

I'm glad you went. I didn't see this yesterday and I was so hoping as I read through the posts that you decided to go.

There is some justice, she did this in front of a woman I sit next to. Let's just say my cube farm mate isn't known for keeping secrets. The entire floor now knows what the b!tchy thing did.

That is justice.

Oh, ma-an, snap. That sucks. No wonder you were in a crappy mood. I'm glad you went. The event was about the retiring manager and your respect for her. What goes around, comes around. You can just sit back and watch . . . and giggle about it all.

why do people gotta be like that?
but, truly, what goes around DOES come around.
all we can do is be the bigger person.
like lisa said, you'll be (and feel) better for it.

I really really want hunka chunka pb fudge ice cream from friendly's!

[Zen]

Why did you have to say that? Why?

[jobob]

Sounds like an excellent idea.

But alas, no Friendly's in my area (tho I spent lots of quality time in them in my yoot).

What's Friendly's?
