So I was chatting to my new neighbours and we were talking about our jobs, I mentioned my husband was in a senior role at a company specializing in a particular kind of IT.
One of them remarked that they had a friend who did that work in another country and that it was a growth industry and there was lots of money to be made. I said yeah but the problem is people often don’t want to pay for it (true, in his area people often don’t think about it til something goes wrong and in the current economy it’s been slow)
But now I’m worried what I said made him look bad – like I was saying he was bad at his job or his company was in trouble – they’re a well known firm. I just can’t stop worrying – what if they mention this to people they know and word somehow spreads that they’re not the ones to call for this kind of work, just imagining something blowing up and wondering why I didn’t just pretend everything was amazing.
Urgh, I hate my brain and my lack of “smoothness” why cant I be better at basic human interactions!!!!! We live in a small city and I just worry thsy anything I say will do the rounds
