neurotic weekend
I did a really embarrassing thing at work on Friday. My supervisor walked by and I asked if there was anything special I needed to know for the launch of one of my sites this Monday morning, since it was a little different than the others.
He said no, it would be normal routine; but then he looked over my head at the other guys in my dept. and said "but you know, Jim, how clients are after a site goes live, they have lots of edits sometimes".
And I don't know why I did this (things were super hectic and my mind was going a mile a minute) -- I said "I've done lots of sites too before". But I said it really bitchy.
And later I went to his office to ask an urelated question, and before I said anything he asked me to close the door!! And he said "hey I didn't mean to offend you in any way before, I know you have lots of years of experience".
And I completely crumpled and said stuff like "no no, I'm so embarrassed, I just had lots of stuff going on and sometimes speak faster than I think..." blah blah that I was sorry.
But now I am worried he sees me as this bitchy, defensive female... I really never say things like that so I don't know why I was so annoyed... (And I did not turn around when I said it but am afraid the other guys went real quiet too, like WTF?)
My friend Bob says maybe I have been sensing little things here and there that they say that might be making me feel intimidated but I don't know, I am about 100% certain I overreacted.
Of course, now that I'm writing about it maybe it feels like not that big a deal, and no one at work will ever think about it again, I'm the only person thinking neurotically about it over the weekend.

You know we chicks have a tendency to over think things (at least I do). But is it so bad that you spoke up, when it was like he was talking over you, you know like to someone who wasn't really part of what you guys were talking about? I wouldn't worry about it to much. Yep, it's embarrassing, but it bothered you and you said something. There are a lot of things that would have been worse...right? Keep on trucking girlie, you'll be fine :)
