Seska that really sucks, I'm sorry you and your girl are in that situation.
Work annoyed me again and it was over me being taken out to lunch for my birthday (which is Tuesday). I was told to pick a place by my boss and then he kept shooting down ideas, one of them he even suggested. I named a couple of locally owned places and was told I shouldn't pick something run of the mill but something special and then three chains were named, like the Olive Garden.
So finally I named a place and it was accepted and I was asked who I wanted to invite along with my department. So I named three people, then it was... well you're inviting V so you really should invite Y, Z, and Z, which is all of another department (they are all friends). Which kinda pissed me off since I wasn't even invited to the last department lunch and, in fact, no one even made any lame exucuse about how I'm the receptionist and it would take a long time blah blah. Just as they were all leaving "By the way we're going to be at lunch"
And now I'm being guilted into adding all these people. So there will be 10 people at this birthday lunch. Which means we probably can't even go to my choice because I don't think they can handle a party of 10 for lunch.
Originally I was going to turn down any offer of lunch since I felt so left out the last time, but then I decided that was petty.
