True Story:
My professor once joked about me being the secret mastermind of Islam's Sword.
I responded with an Allah Akhbar and an As-salamu alaykum.

Which obviously doesn't exist except it obviously does the British government just likes to pretend it is a secret.
The existence of MI5/6 is no more a secret than the existence of the CIA is a secret. They just don't let you know who works there or what they do.
Unless of course M's wife decides to post about it on facebook.

it is also only like 50% of all the issues that are currently stressing me out right now
I just want to know what this kind of thing, which honestly feels like a personal betrayal--anyone who has felt this knows how awful that is--isn't something I need to be jaded of for jobs in general. This seems pretty extraordinary to me--while perhaps not uncommon, still undeserving of a stoic "Well that's what office life is like, get used to it!"
It was a minor and isolated incident that not only occurred 7 months ago but had, I thought, been personally resolved by the two of them (they did that adult thing where they talk to each other). Nothing of the sort was ever repeated and a "pattern of behavior," I thought at least, had definitely not been established. Nothing freaking happened to trigger the temp to go to HR. Nothing. And it's even more galling to think that barely a week before he evidently did go, he was out with us for my officemate's birthday lunch. Out with us, happily, I thought.
It all feels very 30 Pieces of Silver
Ehhhhh it is and it isn't. It's the sort of thing you will come across from time to time, but not necessarily on a regular basis.
I don't think you're wrong to be extremely put out by it, I would be. In fact if it were me I would be watching him like a hawk for the slightest slip up so I could fucking end him. I would be making his life unpleasant until he quits. But that's just me, I'm kind of a vindictive asshole about these things.

I mean, do you want the truth? :-/
I wish, but that is the raw and recent anger talking
of course you get the occasional 'zealous employee' who thinks in grandiose terms about owing their employer and how the employer 'deserves' to know every little thing (i.e. reporting someone for low productivity not because you might get in trouble for team numbers or because you have to handle the slacker's workload... but out of some moralistic sense of outrage that the company's getting 'cheated'). that last type is a real doozy and by far the most surreal to deal with.
yeah he clearly is
which is why i would be looking for some ammo for the next time he tries to pull a stunt like that

Hahaha trust me I am capable of being as hyperbolically resentful of my office and stretching that out to include pretty much any place of work at a big company
but I can see the other departments humming along just fine. It's just mine that has been torn asunder by the combination of weak personalities and insecurity.
