Tomorrow we have a dinner for my husband's boss' wife. It's her birthday. My husbands boss is the owner of his company. DH is 2nd man on the totem pole, so to speak. Only 3 people from the company were invited to this party, it's at their home. We have been there many times before.

This time is a little different. It is smaller and more intimate. And... over the past year, a few of the girls (the owners daughter included) in his office have developed serious OFFICE DRAMA, and I happen to be the center of their conversation. Long story, but they hired a (former) friend of mine. Not at my request nor at my recommendation. I have worked with this girl for 4 years and she is NOT the best employee. She is a gossip, a pot stirrer and very immature. In short, the owners daughter (also the Director of my "friends" department) is BFF's with one of the employees there. This employee and my "friend"... don't get along. After a year of petty crap, this employee finds some pretty scathing accusations about her online (some stupid website). The accusations where such that it made it sounds like I wrote it, accusing her of having an inappropriate relationship with my DH. This is the same girl that sent her new boobs pics to married men in my office (not my DH). No where in this post did it say my DH by name, nor did it have MY name, but the way it was worded made it sound like me. IT WAS NOT ME. I have never THOUGHT that my DH was cheating on me, I have never accused him of it and I certainly didn't think he was having a NON work relationship of any kind with little miss new boobs.

For a while they were all SURE it was me that wrote it. I got a text from this girl (group with DH) telling me to take it down, that she was going to sue me and basically spoke to me like a child. My DH responded and told her to step off, that she is crossing lines of professionalism and that his wife (me) would never do such a thing, she is "not 12 years old". She is a wife, a mom and a good friend and person. I responded saying I was sorry that this happened to her and I wished I could help her in removing it from the internet world, but I don't know who did it, and am equally as mad because it made my husband sounds like a cheating scumbag, which he is not. I never heard from her again.

Long LONG story, short(er). My "friend" posted it. It included this girls FULL NAME and PICTURE. :jawdrop: She was fired. And is now fighting for unemployment. Even appealed the denial. DH had to go to EDD trial last week for it.

In speaking with DH over the past week, he tells me that the girls there are over it. And they KNOW for a fact that I didn't do that stupid crap, and that I am no longer friends with that person. But still... I am SURE that this girl is one of the FEW invited to this dinner party. It is going to be AWKWARD.

And... I have no idea what to bring boss' wife.

I hate this crap.
