Yes that is right! I have been knackered all week, been really busy in work and then yesterday i got hit with a kidney blow!As you all probably know, there is 3 of us that work in an office based up here in Liverpool and our HQ is in London. I have been dying to go and dropping the hints and my boss is going on monday and she only went and invited the other girl down there!! I was gutted, i literally sulked for the rest of the afternoon! She has to go to show HQ how to do something apparently and someone needs to stay here and man the office! I was on the verge of saying something completely sarcastic about the whole situation all day, but i held back.
I mentioned to my boss later on that day that i think it would have been nice if we had all went down at the same time, as the other girl is going to meet them all without me, so next time when i finally get down there she will know them all and i will be the stranger amongst them and i didn't feel comfortable with that. Boss said that she won't have a chance because she is meeting 2 people specifically to show them something, will only be there for 2 hours and will be on the next train home.
Although that maybe made me feel slightly better, i am still gutted i can't go. I kind of feel left out about it and yesterday i felt like exploding. They always seem to have really important conversations when i am on the phone and only ever catch the tail end of it and i always find myself saying "what was that?" and they fill me on what was discussed and agreed! It's a bit like that episode in friends where Rachel gets a new job and the boss and the other girl smoke, so everytime they go down and have a ciggy they talk about work, arrange things and Rachel is always the last to know and misses out. Well i feel like that at the moment. Oh yeh, the other girl is having a meeting with boss today in the coffee shop and then said "come and meet us after for lunch if you like?" like i was an afterthought! I will still go, after all the company is paying and a girl's gotta eat!
When i got home, i found Phil in a bleaching frenzy in the kitchen and completely let rip, i couldn't believe the things that were coming out my mouth about the whole situation! Maybe it's really got to me more than i think. It may sound trivial to some people, but i am the kind of person that doesn't like getting left out of things and made to feel inadequate.
Anyway Phil made me feel better about it all and even bought me some Milky Buttons to cheer me up!

Gutted for you Haylz!! You can have a good old moan to us at coffee club next week!! That's what we're here for!
I would tell your boss how you feel and tell that you want to make things a success for the company and for your progession! Make it seem like you really want to be a team player and I'm sure she'll appreciate that! Don't tell her about the sulk! ha!
milky buttons? don't think we have those here in the states...never heard of them...but hey, if they can make you feel better, I'll take a case!
I hope it is just growing pains at work and it starts to get better.
I am over it now, i was just hurt by it really.
Anyway, at least i will have the office to myself, so i can stick the radio on and sing at the top of my voice, and no one will judge me! haha

Don't get caught rocking out to the radio and doing karaoke...I've embarassed myself one too many times doing that. How sweet of you to send me milky buttons! That is so funny. If you really think you'll get around to it and it's not trouble, email me and I'll send my address. What can I send you from Colorado?

Milky Buttons are so good and so hard to find in Canada. When I do find them I buy the entire box and keep them in a secret chocolate stash. I'm glad you're feeling better now. Sweet kisses!
