Caught In a Lie

I hate when I get caught up in a lie. Doesn't matter the extent of the lie, just being caught in one is just the worst situation a person can be in. Earlier I was a little late for a meeting, and it was because I had decided to stop off and get myself a cup of coffee, and a donut on my way to work. When Mr. Wilhelm asked me why I was late, I told him it was because there was traffic, and it caused me to take a little more time. Then, out of nowhere, Suzie, the temp at the office clears her throat and chimes in, and says, "Oooor, maybe it was because you stopped off to get that cup of coffee and those donuts at Crispy Creme earlier". Regardless, I was late, and the true reasoning behind it does not matter. Mr. Wilhelm looked at me like I was disgusting, and suggested I stay away from donuts for health reasons. The nerve of this woman. And shes a temp! Who does she think she is, just throwing me under the bus like that, as if she has some authority. Anyway, yeah... It just stinks getting caught up in a lie, even if it's just a small lie.

On a side note, I find my self strangely attracted to this temp now. Maybe because she challenged me, or because she seemed to have completely resented me. I've always had a thing for women who don't like me. I guess that notion of wanting what we can't have does ring true in some cases.
