Upset and annoyed

Yesterday at lunch, a friend made me very upset. We are fairly close, so I have no idea why would she speak to me in such a rude manner? She was extremely defensive and I was not attacking her or anything close to that. WTF??! I thought she was wayyyy out of line. And that made me very uncomfortable for the rest of the day, and today even.

Which got me thinking... is she really a friend? Or is she more of a frenemy? Should I let one small episode upset me, and override all the other favourable moments we have shared together over the years?

But lets put it this way, I am not particularly comfortable with confrontation, so therefore even today I pretend that things are fine.... on the outside. We did have dinner plans tomorrow, but I cancelled it. I just don't feel like it at all.

On the other side, Little-Miss-Whats-For-Lunch has been annoying me lately with her inability to go downstairs to the cafe BY HERSELF to get her chai latte and slice of toast! If I don't accompany her to the cafe, she acts all sorry for herself and resorts to normal tea in the kitchen. Both of us get a chai latte every morning at work. I changed cafes recently (if that doesn't sound too absurd) because the old one raised their prices and the latte was becoming shit! So now I grab my chai from a different cafe near the train station for cheaper and tastes so much better. Plus, its on my way to the office, so it is very fast. Little-Miss-Whats-For-Lunch drives in to work, and it is not really convenient for her to walk a block and a half to the same place as where I grab my chai lattes. Another thing with her is because she does not commute, she walks and does everything at a slower pace. Usually, if we go downstairs together to the cafe, we talk and talk, come back upstairs, talk, cut the toast into half at the kitchen, sometimes microwave our lattes because it has turned cold, talk again, go back to our desk, talk, eat.. and then guess what? It is already 9.30am!! One hour after I arrive in the office!

As this annoyed me a fair bit this morning, I wrote an email to Dopey, explaining the entire situation about Little-Miss-Whats-For-Lunch and why can't she go downstairs by herself like an adult to a cafe that is 3 steps from the door in our office building?!

All he replied was "But she's your BFF what"

What he said put a smile on my face! This is so trivial!
