Get over it already....
There is a woman here at work who has not spoken a word to me since July of 2011. She sits one cube across and one cube down from me. She passes me numerous times a day. And when she does she avoids eye contact if possible and if we do make eye contact she looks away as quickly as possible. We used to talk. We have known each other for quite a long while. She has always been someone that I limited my time with for various reasons, but I am a social person and will talk to someone if they are in front of me. In July she sent me a picture of a cake that she wanted me to make. I do cakes and baked goods as a side business sometimes. And it was one of the ugliest cakes I have ever seen, with a cat made out of a poptart on top. I tried to be nice and told her I wouldnt be able to do it. She asked me if I was saying I couldn't or that I wouldn't. I was honest and told her I wouldn't do it. I take great pride in my work and would not want anyone to associate my name with the work. She told me I didnt have to like it I just had to do it. I told her again that I refuse to do work that I can't stand behind. She has not spoken to me since. I am not the only person she doesnt talk to. I am one of the lucky ones however that knows WHY she isn't talking to me. There are random people who do not even know why she doesnt speak to them. If it were just me I might take it personally. At this point I smile when I see her and try not to let her presence deter me from my path, whichever direction I am taking at the time. If anything I feel sorry for her. If you have nothing better going on in your life that you can hold a grudge for so long over something so silly, how sad is your life?
