Are you friends for real or are you friends just because you happen to be stuck working together? I've been surprised by a few of the answers I've found out after my recent forced resignment. Text someone I was leaving high and dry the next day because of resigning. Felt bad, wanted to talk and give her the story figuring she'd understand. Still have not heard from her! Think maybe she didn't get the text but even then by now she's knows whats going on. Shouldn't she have maybe called me?? Another who left the job a few years before me heard about it last night and immediately called this morning to find out what the heck was going on. When I didn't call back right away she called another coworker to find out. Maybe she just wanted the good juicy info, but I really don't think so. Maybe she was just being a better friend than I knew. When I did call back I was happy I didn't have to rehash the whole thing again and we could just chat about it and other things. And set a lunch date for next week.
I'm sure the people I've left still working there aren't sure how to react as the situation was so insane. But I also thought I'd hear a little something from more of them. Especially now in this technological age where we are all friends on facebook too. In a few more weeks I may be dropping some friends. :) As my husband will tell you I'm an emotional person and don't have much problem showing them. Of course this is not true of a lot of people but with all the detatched sentiment thrown about the web anyway is it that hard to post a little "miss you, sorry for what happened." Or when I'm in the building on the opposite side of my old desk to completely ignore me? Again certain situations it's tough to know what to do. I'm like that with death. I don't want any part of it and don't want to think about it. Maybe I'll send a card or if i see you a quick 'I'm sorry about so and so ' and I'm done. Some people are just better with sticky situations than others. I'm proof of it too but I'm still your friend... I hope.
