At the beginning of the year I was super keen to go to my high school reunion. I had booked a place and got hubby on board – and then things changed…
One of my school friends (from primary school) recently asked me to help him send out his CV. I took time out of my schedule and mailed it off to a (large) number of advertisers. He then landed one of these jobs and then it went sideways…
He ran off with his new employer’s bakkie and cash. He sold off the canopy, abandoned the bakkie and after almost a month there has been no word. The first I got wind of his “antics” was when his new employer phoned me – and I was embarrassed. I never expected him to do something like this and then as the story unfolded on his Facebook page I realised that he wasn’t the person that any of us thought he was.
The disappointment I feel about this situation has left me quite hesitant to go to my reunion. I feel betrayed and not sure I want to reconnect with more old school friends. I know that most won’t be like that, but… I feel like crap for saying yes and then turning around saying no.
Plus, if I really think about it – why would I reconnect with people that I rarely if ever see? I don’t have that many fond memories of most of the people. I remember everything…
