X has worked on the Opera that is produced here in my work town for the past 3-4 years, so I imagine he is going to do it again.
Now, we know that everyone at work knows the sitch now because it was ANNOUNCED in the local paper, but...
My supervisor's wife works on the Opera. They are both big fans of opera, have to support the company that produces it, etc.
So they will go to rehearsals and performances, and X will introduce Sweet Thing to them.
Gack. Anxiety.
And last year, X was very cranky that supervisor's wife seemed to be ignoring him at tech rehearsals. So at a performance, I made a big deal of saying hi, making a "you have met before!" big friendly deal to break any ice that might have been between them for some reason.
Hmmmmm....maybe supervisor's wife saw them together some how? and had a clue?
Making myself sick about an imagined future that might not even happen--STOP and get back to work!
