trouble in river city.

I got reprimanded at work yesterday over some petty bullshit. I am not pleased. The basic gist is, some of the work girls were talking about another girl we work with when we were down at SXSW. I can't remember exactly what was said, but basically this girl was hired in above us and I don't know that I've seen any evidence that she is better at her job than I am at my lower one. We have this vendor that we use for all of our events and she must've overheard us. She then told our team lead, who came down heavy on the three of us. She set up a lunch with me and was all, "I don't tolerate talking about other teammates." She then proceeded to call me a Mean Girl and say I was spreading negativity in the office. She told my colleague (and friend) that what we did was a "fireable offense." I probably shouldn't blog about this, but I'm pissed off. The only reason we got in trouble is because we were talking about a girl that the team lead is BFF with. Luckily, my super cool manager was like "I don't give a fuck" and told me not to worry about it because it's stupid and petty. She apologized that I even had to go through it. I'm hoping it doesn't get to our director, but even if it does, my boss has told me she'll stick up for me.

The whole thing has just left a really bad taste in my mouth. Why was I yelled at? Why on earth would our vendor tell our team lead about that conversation? It makes no sense and had no effect on her job or work, Also, why is this a discussion we're having one month after the initial conversation took place? Ugh. I don't trust anyone. And in response to her allegations that I'm a mean girl, I have one thing to say:
