What the hell…Chilly’s little spot on lit

I really, really hope that somebody incredible finds you and realizes what a precious gem they've found. Then spends the rest of their life showing you all the facets of beauty they see in you.
 
I have a family event at work tomorrow. Last year was pure hell and I ended up in my office crying. I thought this year would be find but I find myself trying to figure out how I can avoid it tomorrow. Call out sick? Leave in the afternoon?
I would say try to go to it, but don't go if you don't feel right about it. I don't want you doing something that is going to upset you. Perhaps next year after things have had a chance to settle.

Sending positive thoughts for a good day.

All the best for this... i hate these "forced" events as they tend to have no consideration for those in different circumstances... i'd probably find a desk in the corner and just work... save up some stuff that needs doing and cannot wait. Or go out for a coffee and take a very long time about it.
Good luck
 
I would say decline and, if you're comfortable doing so, explain why. As Orange just mentioned, these types of events can be very unsettling depending on what's happening in your or anybody's life. Management needs to be made aware of that. Above all, though, take care of YOU. They employ you, they don't own you.

Why did last year upset you?

I was thinking about saving some time sensitive work lol. One of my closest friends said to come eat with her and her kids then hide in the office during the family based games and I think thats what I’ll do.
 
Somebody put an expiration date on my friendship today. Said if we didn’t meet in person after 3 months that it was over because I wasn’t real.

I confirmed that we were not in a relationship. That we were not monogamous. That we were just flirty friends.

I ended the phone call cause I didn’t even know what to say. I felt so insulted. I just don’t understand people.
Just catching up and I would add: is their a contract for friendships? Seems they last forever, pick where they left off, and linger so support is needed they help.
