What was my friend thinking????!!!

[lovesoon1207]

Yeah....so I'm a little pissed right now...okay actually a lot pissed.One of my friends made a huge mistake.

I was talking to my friend yesterday about leaving my current job and going to an interview for a possible job opportunity with an insurance company.I confided in her and in her only.I did not want anyone else to know.Especially anyone from my job.I thought it was understood.Please do not share with anyone else.

Apparently,it was not understood because she posted a comment about it on my myspace page.She mentioned my interview.On my myspace page,95% of my friends are my coworkers and she knows that.A coworker of mine saw the comment and asked me about it.I just said that it was an informational interview.No big deal.The comment was posted all day and any one of my other coworkers could have read the comment.

I am so hurt that my friend did that.I know that she didn't mean to hurt me but she did.And she makes it worse for herself because even though she apologized she did not want to talk about it.She asked if we could talk about it tomorrow...that right now is not a good time.According to her,today was a really bad day and she just can't talk about it.How am I supposed to respond to that?She wronged me and she has the audacity to ask if we can reschedule???!!!

I am hurt because it was private information between me and her.I just don't get why couldn't she have emailed me or whatever.I am also hurt because she took my decision out of my hands...the decision to not tell my coworkers about this.

Dammit...I am mad.

Am I wrong here or what?

I think you have every right to be angry. Please, do, simmer down and think about the situation before you fly off the handle with your friend, though.

Yes, it was, at best, really stupid of her to post a message on your myspace about it. People do really stupid, thoughtless things sometimes. At worst, this person is not really your friend, and is trying to sabotage you (but why would you have confided in her in the first place if she's one of those unfriendly friends). From the way you've presented this, I suspect your friend just didn't think about it before she posted, in which case, perhaps reconsider sharing sensitive information with her in the future and deal with the fallout at work.

And for the rescheduling of the fight, haven't you ever postponed something like that before?

FYI: There is a way that you can have your Myspace page set that all comments must be approved by you before they are made live.

Your friend is an idiot.

And you should probably set your myspace page so that you have to approve all comments before they post.

Why didnt you just remove the comment as soon as you saw it there? Or was it too late?

She was dumb for what she did, but I seriously doubt she intended to cause you trouble, so go ahead and be mad, make her grovel a bit, and then get over it, we all make mistakes.

That sucks!! That is one of the main reasons I got rid of my myspace page. It can seriously be an invitatation for people to find out things they just don't need to know. My co-worker sits on myspace all damn day and tries to get dirt on people based on the comments people leave :googly:
