So...my "Best Friend" unfriended me.... :p

Soooo....

How would you take this?

For 2 years.......TWO YEARS......my "best friend" has begged me to get her a job where I work.  I work for a family-owned flavor company.  We make food flavoring ingredients, and if you eat, you have eaten what we make....simple as that.

anyway......

2 weeks ago, she started working here.  She's a temporary.  We don't direct hire, unless it's a salaried position.  You have to work 400 hours to be considered for permanent employment.

Without going into great detail, let's just say at her last place of employment, she was forced to resign because of Facebook.  She did something stupid.  End of story.

She had an ESC hearing today, because her former place of employment is contesting her unemployment benefits. 

So she texts me this morning and texts me the following:

"Just so you know, I unfriended ***** from facebook and I'm going to unfriend you too from my page.  I'll still be on the alumni page (our kids high-school band alumni page).  This is only because of what happened to me with ***.  Mixing business with social networks is not a good idea anymore.  This has been heavy on my heart since I started working at ******.  Especially since I've got this hearing this mroning.  It's not because I don't love you, I do.  I like ***** as well, but I think it would be better this way.  I don't ever want this situation to happen to me again.  I know you'll understand.  Love you!"

Ok, nope, I don't understand.

Does she think so little of the "friendship" we have shared for the past 4 YEARS that she thinks I would do something to cause her to lose her job??  This is why I HATE helping people like this.  The last time I got a "friend" a job, she had an affair with the maintenance dude.  Not this same friend, but still.  It's a reflection on ME when someone I recommend does crap like that.

With my position here (management) I can't afford crap like that.

This isn't a younger, flighty person either.  Most of my GOOD friends are 10-12 years older than me.  I have always been the youngest parent when it came to my kid's stuff, because I had my oldest when I was 19 and most of the parents I have met we in their late 20's mid-30's when they had their kids.

**sigh**

I hate drama.

Am I worried about her reading this?  No.  She doesn't even know this blog exists.  She doesn't like to read.  I've told her about it.  I've told her about some amazing things written on the internet, like The Dionaea House.  This was written by an old high school friend of mine, who is now a screen writer/director in Los Angeles.  (Hi, Eric :))

anyhow.....I'm done for the day.  Step class tonight!!!

I leave you with the amazing DRAMA LLAMA!!!
