Co-Worker Isn't Speaking To Me Because I Can't Make The Christmas 'Do'

[Treacle71]

My co-worker said I'm mean to pull out of the Christmas 'do'. Well, I didn't pull out, I merely said I can't make the day they've chosen now (I could before, but a hospital appointment has just come through for me) and so I offered 12 other dates when I can make it. They haven't even booked anywhere yet! The organiser can only make one date throughout December and they're going with that! In the meantime my co-worker has sent me to Coventry which I think is incredibly childish. How do I act around her now? Shall I just ignore her too? I suggested we invite one lady at work who spends Christmas alone and lives on her own, but this co-worker doesn't like her and when I suggested asking a part time 70yo part time worker, she said she walks too slow! My friend said this co-worker is controlling and not to let it happen!

Silly cow, ignore her.

.... the coworker, not you in case of misunderstanding.

Tell them sorry but your hospital appointment is more important. Then invite they lady who lives alone to join you for a meal and the two of you have a nice evening out

A co worker opting not to disturb your work by nattering to you ? Sounds like a win situation to me.

[Old_Geezer]
