There should be peace in solitude. There should be comfort in doing the right thing. Unfortunately peace and comfort are not easily found. I have 3 friends at work. Ladies I eat with everyday. We go out to lunch on Thursdays. Ah but friendship is fleeting.
Monday at work I witnessed the spouse of one of my friends fail to do something that is required. I anguished over what to do. Then I thought if he were not married to a person I lunch with I would not have given it a second thought. I would talk to the supervisor. While I am not a supervisor I am held to those standards because I am office staff. I am suppose to report things of a serious nature. So I went to the supervisors.
This person was not given a written reprimand. He was not suspended. He was simply asked about his actions.
So now I am a "big fat liar". His wife will not talk to me.
I can't put the other ladies I hang out with in the middle. One is friends with this lady and her husband outside of work. The other one works directly with the lady. So I have stepped out of the friendship.
Three Dog Night is right, "One IS the loneliest number".

Sorry about the loneliness. On a brighter note. Happy meeting Ron Anniversary :)
:( That's too bad. If you want to have lunch with me some weeks we could meet somewhere during my lunch break :) It wouldn't be long, but it wouldn't be lonely either!
Sorry, that things are the way they are......sometimes life stinks. Keep your chin up!
