My Office Secret...

Anonymous Sheepish Gossip #406 · General

I've been at this office for over ten years now, and there's this tiny little fib I keep going back to... Every time someone asks me how I am, my response is always 'Fine, thanks!...' But the truth is, about five months ago, I hurt my shoulder pretty badly while playing tennis. It still bothers me sometimes when I do certain tasks at work or even just reach for something high up on a shelf. But I don't want to make a big deal out of it... so I've been hiding behind this 'Fine, thanks!' thing instead of really opening up about my pain and the struggles it causes me daily. It feels silly when I think about it, but it's just easier to keep pretending like everything is okay...
