I just want to be included because everyone else in my "group" is.
I question my reasons for wanting to stay with this organization since most of it leaned so heavily on the fact that I thought I had such a great group of friends I'd be starting this new leg of my career with. I'm disappointed, disillusioned, and embarrassed. And I turned down another offer in favor of staying where I'm at so I guess...I'm also pissed.
