Huh...

I've been in my current position as a sales person forTP State Farm almost a year and in that time, I've felt ostracized from the group of women that I work with for many reasons. We don't have a whole lot in common and after I've made a couple mistakes (ok...MORE than a couple!!) I felt like I was purposefully excluded from the group.
I did a couple "drive bys"* on the ring leader and asked if everything was ok and I always received a frosty "Uh-huh" in response. Eventually, I let it go and would come in, sit at my desk, do my work and leave at the end of the day. I don't know how long this was going to work for me but at the moment it worked just fine. I addressed my coworkers as little as possible and focused on bettering me. I'm working on my follow through, my organization and my memory (I tend to forget a LOT of stuff!).
Today, I received an IM from the other saleswoman in the office asking to have a meeting to prepare for the big meeting next week where we will go over our roles and plan the new year. Immediately my stomach dropped. I don't do drama and confrontations at work and my palms started to sweat and all I could think of was "WTF did I do now?!".
I sit down at her desk and surprisingly, SHE APOLOGIZES AND SAYS SHE WANTS TO START WITH A CLEAN SLATE!!!! Being the big goober I am, I want to tear up!! My job just got 9million times better and I can't believe it happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kudos to you, A.W.! You articulated what I was feeling in a healthy, thoughtful manner and I am forever appreciative of it!
