the boys (that’d be the wondergeek and webboy) are giving me unending shit about venturing out to a happy hour event without them. it didn’t seem to matter to them one lick that the people i was happy houring with were not really people they knew all that well. mostly, they’re just yanking my chain because THAT WOMAN makes our whole work atmosphere very 8th-grade like. more 8th-grade like than i am comfortable with. especially because THAT WOMAN has determined that i’m the cool kid in the 8th grade, and really i shouldn’t be able to wield (TTHM, note the I) this sort of power. the higher the pedestal she puts me on gets, the more condescending she is to my friends, the poorer i treat her and the less i respect her. i know that’s so wretchedly bad. i know it is. but i don’t know what else to do. so mostly i try to just ignore it all and not to be too passive-aggressive in my normal snarkiness. but i don’t think it’s working so well.
but you were with another man

Oh, Jodi. Jodi, Jodi, Jodi. I know how you feel. I, too am being put up on a “your-so-wonderful-and-am-so-jealous” pedestal. All I can say is RUN WITH IT. You have to be OK with the fact that sometimes (many times) people get what they deserve, including you. It’s your turn to be Ms. Wonderful, I for one, don’t see what the problem is. Just have fun with it. It’s not your fault she’s stupid.
