It's 8:40 and I'm still at work

I'm still at work because I'm trying to compensate to my boss for someone having their feelings hurt by a post I made on social media that had nothing to do with a coworker, who then started hurling accusations of what my motive was. I don't understand how someone who has no intention of being my friend would even bother to look me up on social media only to throw me under the bus for something that had little relevance to their life.

Years of working here, of never really talking or interacting with them, and now all of sudden they're leading a company-wide excavation into my life? Fuck off. Here's a real, hateful, targeted update: No one invites them to after-work stuff because they're a manipulative Judas, and they don't have friends at work because they're a backstabbing two faced asshole.

At least I can admit to myself that no one invites me anywhere because I'm anti-social in general.

I don't know what this coworker told my boss, or if boss even saw the posts. I shut down all my social media accounts to protect myself, I've apologized profusely to both, and now here I almost 9 pm just angry that I put up with this.

I will say that the post, objectively, could be interpreted as questionable. However, you don't go around making it a point to get a person of color in trouble because they tweeted something about policing POC at work, which HAHA is the worst kind of self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm disappointed in so many things right now: I'm disappointed in myself for not having better judgement or any sort of professional social skills, I'm disappointed in the person who snitched because they did so even after I apologized which can only point to their motives as selfish and with intent to harm, and I'm disappointed in my boss because even after all this time, all these years... I haven't been able to prove myself above reproach when it comes to certain things, things like this.

sigh I guess I'll go make another cup of coffee and get back to work.
