Heard from W that her boss didn't do something he said he would for me and my office, making me pretty look bad to some coworkers. I expressed some frustration - not alot, but enough - and W got defensive. A set back. At least it was annoyance I was expressing and not whining. While I am justified in being annoyed I could have handled it without involving W anymore but I took the opportunity to express a few (just a few, really!) of my negative emotions that had been buidling - and that was a mistake. Totally changed Ws attitude. It was a rough day and I should have never let on. In fact, I should have stopped emailing until I could get my head on straight. Dumb.
Sent a short apology and I am trying to keep in in perspective.
