Hey man, mistakes happen. I think it's important to recognize when gossip is malicious.
At the same time, I suppose I can understand why she might be upset, but I would hope that it would blow over, considering how there was no ill intent.
I have too many times been in the position of saying something unintentionally inappropriate at work. My saving grace has always been that my coworkers know me well enough to know there is no ill intent in what I said or did, and that the occasional slip-up shouldn't be a ding on my character. What I know if you, I feel like you're much like me in that regard - people recognize you as a good person.
I mean, that's how I see you, at least. You've always been one to, in my opinion, go out of your way to make sure people don't feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. I can't imagine you being any different outside the confines of Funeratic.

I appreciate that, thanks. But I still feel like I was negligent in my responsibility to be discreet with someone else's private business. It wasn't as bad as malicious blabbing, so pointing that out does make me feel better, but it was still wrong.

That's All I Have to Say About That
Remember those somber anti-piracy messages before theatrical movies a couple of years ago? Like the near-weepy set painter whose wife and kids were going to live in the poorhouse if you illegally downloaded The Big Chill? They must have had an effect on me, because instead of sadness or sympathy, they were all I could think about when I read that the make-up artist for Forrest Gump killed herself and her husband. Go »Garfunkel and Oates
Kelly and I had a good time last night taking out two old friends for their birthdays to see Garfunkel and Oates in Tampa. I'm only familiar with the duo's songs, so it was refreshing that only maybe a third of the show consisted of music. The rest was stand up comedy, storytelling, audience interaction, and a weird extended commercial for their sponsor Monster Energy Drink, tall boys of which were being handed out for free, because that's just what my heart needs at ten o'clock at night.

Some of my Oscar contest predictions are solely based on my odds of "winning" the contest. I'm curious to find out if what film I really think will win in certain categories comes out on top.
