WOW - I screwed up.................

[BeauJangles]

Do what Dennifloss did, and kill her off.

 

[BobDaMenkey]

Good job dude, you lied to your boss and your supervisor in one go, over something that's totally trivial because you're too ashamed to admit you don't have a girlfriend.

You better not screw up doing the break up thing, but with your social apptitude that has been preseneted thus far, you probably will.

Sounds like you work with some total tools. Everyone company I've worked for is a friendly enviroment where you can talk about your lives with other co-works and managers. It's part of being PEOPLE.

Additionally, they went out after work. Are they supposed to sit around and talk about work the whole time? Damn that'd be a drag.

When I'm at work I work, there's no time to sit around yapping with people. I don't go out after work with my supervisor or co-workers, I work my 40 and go home.

Well I expected a bit of wise-assing, but not this much.

Well can anyone offer suggestions, tips on how to get out of this? I suppose if I said in a month that we broke up, thats the better option......but if you know of a better one, let me know...

 

[doze]

HAHA dude before you know it you and your fake girlfriend are going to be invited to a dinner party. Don't ever mention anything about it again. If anybody asks just tell them it's an on again/off again type deal because she has issues. Then just say you would prefer not to talk about it.

One thing I have learned about people and the work place

#1-people have an incessent need to talk.... most of them cannot control thier desire to "gossip" for a lack of a better word and this is true of both sexes at work. Sure, the topics may be different, but people like to talk about other people and once the faucet starts to drip, before you know it you have a firehose on your hands.

#2-If people think they can confide in you about stuff, they will...trust me that is not always a good thing. (do you really want to know about a new sex position your co-worker tried with his SO?...visuallize him naked grunting like a pig and you will understand what I mean)

#3- this is MOST IMPORTANT, keep the talk about yourself to an absolute minimum. only tell people what YOU want them to know. You never know when they may betray you, either on purpose or accidental, it does not matter, anything that can be remotely used against you by anyone for any reason is not worth talking about in the workplace. (sexual escapades with gf, bf, wife or husband. personal finances etc.)

I worked at a place for 17 years and my co-workers and more importantly my p.o.s. boss knew very little about me, never went to a company christmas party, or picnic or other work functions outside of work. Work is work and home is home..the two should never cross paths.

most Americans disagree with you. to a lot of people, they are their job. this is why america has the highest productivity (maybe ex-Japan) in the world.

tell everyone you are having lunch with her.

come back from lunch with blood all over you. when they ask if something happened. say no. when they ask if your GF is ok say "what girlfriend? i don't have a girlfriend? LEAVE ME ALONE!" and wonder off talking to yourself.

when the police get there to arrest you tell them its all a joke! really the boss will love it.

 

[drum]

my coworkers know very little about my social life. but then I rarely talk anyway... at work or at play

 

[CarlKillerMiller]

Just try and let it slip that you broke up.

 

[biggestmuff]

Put a picture of yourself in drag on your desk. Then you can tell them that you made it up to pull the prank.

Best suggestion so far.

Just break up with her in a week or so, end of issue.

Also reread you original post and pretend its not you. Now don't you think this is much ado about nothing??

Two Very good points!

I'm just worried about any future questions while at work

This will just remind me in the future to not lie to co-workers as it can blow up in your face!!

 

[manlymatt83]

Walk into work for the next few weeks and then say you don't want to talk about it when they ask. Then come in sad one day and say you guys broke up. Ask for time off to recoop. profit.

 

[l6873]

Find a girlfriend who has the same name.

 

[sniperruff]

tell them you broke up with her and she moved to turkey.

 

[Tiamat]

Go into work this upcoming monday all somber. Say that you had a fight and broke up and that thats that. No more questions. You shouldn't have lied in the first place though.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Go to match.com, find someone with the same name, and ask to have a pic taken and put it in your wallet. Dig yourself a deeper hole

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

1. Break up with her
2. I don't have the guts to post this suggestion here
3. Escort service
4. Get a girlfriend
5. Fess up

 

[Balt]

If they bring it up tell them she recently moved away and it's a long distance relationship. At that point they will know it's destined to fail and won't expect to hear anything more about it.

Just because you hated your work doesn't mean everyone hates their work. Some jobs are actually pleasant.

Could you specifically point out where I said I hated my work? please?

I did not...and you are solidifying my point....it does not matter what you say or how you say it, people will infer what they want, and that can and will spread like wildfire...it is the nature of people to gab and if you do not want to create a situation where you feel you need to explain yourself all the time...keeping your mouth shut and controlling yourself is the best options most of the time.

I actually enjoyed my work it was my boss that was a moron, be he was less than 1% of the total workforce I delt with on a daily basis, after 5:00 PM he was gone and I was left in charge to make the decisions.....so really it was no big deal because I worked 2nd shift and only had to deal with him 2.5 hours in the day.

You must of been loads of fun to work with.

An Anandtech worker who's a social retard at work. That deserves a :Q
