scottobearMy anger has dissipated. I still am not keen on being lied to. that is one of my buttons. stupid lies don't bother me. fish stories, bragging, whatever, fine. If you say "I am there for you, I will cover your back, you can depend on me" and then go out to lunch when I am being thrown to the wolves, well. If I live through the being eaten alive, don't ask me for any favors.
A co-worker just did that to me. I needed him, told him so, he said the above, and proceeded to leave 4 minutes after saying so. garrumph.
If you can't or won't do something, don't commit to me that you will. I know things come up. but "Life happens", or "something better came along" doesn't cut it. Lunch is not a life changing circumstance. A death did not occur.
I'm now officailly over it, but will never trust that person with anything of value again, and if he asks, I'll let him know why. Unprofessional and unkind behavior rarely goes unpunished.
His report card now reads "does not play well with others" in my mental gradebook.
Thank you to the sweethearts who came to my rescue with hugs and loves by the way.
onto more happy things, maybe thai tonight will happen, although I'm not interested in griping now that I've vented here. I will be a dutiful listener though, and tell all the lovely stories of recent memory, like about my crush, and how newton plays fetch with paperwads, and how cool the new godzilla movie is.

Date: 2000-08-31 02:32 pm (UTC)I always hated little stupid lies more though. If someone isn't there for me when they said they would, well, I can generally handle it on my own, or there'll be someone else. Someone telling me a stupid, transparent lie means that they thought not only that they can lie to me, but that I'm too stupid to see through it. Damnit, at least put some effort and creativity into your lies when you lie to me!
Heh.
