This Too Shall Pass
I am having a very bad week. I don't even know where to begin to sort out all of my feelings but they are hurt and raw at this time so maybe I will go into detail in a future post. I will just say this, a very dear client has turned on me and called my boss and the client is very much in the wrong. I have done NOTHING wrong and I swear I would be absolutely honest if I actually did something wrong (or not even bring it up at all) but I have done nothing. I suspect I know what the real problem with the client is but again I will have to search my ethical conscience before I discuss it even though I would never use the names of the people involved.
This mole hill has become a mountain and everyone and their brother knows about it but NOONE has come to me! I know all of us have encountered this in some form or fashion in their lives and we have all asked the same question, "Why can't people just go to the source when they have heard something instead of hearing it from everyone else?"
Today is the eve of my 32nd birthday and I am throwing a damn pitty party and I might just cry cause it's my F-ing party! It is 7:00 pm, I am in California still working with no end in sight.
In closing I will leave you with two things...
1) My grandfather said in a comment to my first blog "Accentuate the possitive", I will try and do this tomorrow.
2) If all else fails.... drink vodka.

Why people don't talk directly to one another in situations like the one Jen described is a mystery. Because it's easier to avoid honest and direct approach? Or, as my corporate experiences suggests, because some people think office gossip is a job perk. (Until it's turned on them, that is.)
Often when things like this happen the issue simply becomes a nonissue as attention is turned elsewhere. Not a satisfactory response, but a common one.
Very best site. Keep working. Will return in the near future.
