End in sight?

I’ve had lots of support over this ridiculous ‘investigation’ thing.  Mac - the Welshman who originally did my management training - called today and asked for the gory details. I said “I’m embarrassed to say nothing happened. She asked me my opinion on the new flavour of Doritos and completely misheard my reply.”
He sighed and said “God, that’s boring. I was hoping you might have punched her or called her a pissy old hag or something.”
I said “Believe me mate, I wish I had.”
Anyway, the HR department seem more perturbed than concerned, and it looks likely she’ll get a letter from Head Office and that will be that. But it’s likely to leave a sour taste in the mouth. I’ve done really well for this company since I’ve been here and the second some old harrigan calls me an arsehole they jump to attention and start assuming it’s true. 
Maybe, yet again, it’s time to think about making better use of myself and my degree.
(And maybe, yet again, I’ll look around for a few days and then realise I’m too lazy to step out of this comfort zone)
