too sensitive?

today is Father's Day. a certain special someone posted on her FB page today a nice paragraph about 3 wonderful fathers; hers and her two brothers. but didn't mention me, the father of one of her children. not 15 minutes before the post appeard she'd sent me a nice text saying nice things about me as a Dad, and at the time i really appreciated the kindness. then i read her post on FB, and all of the wonderful feelings went away. not sure if i should be upset by all of it, or is that just crazy talk?

the preamble to an online survey that i just completed for my employer states, in part, ".  Responses are confidential and anonymous and cannot be linked to individuals.  "

yet at the end, some of the questions were of this nature:

do you work mostly in direct patient care or non-direct patient care?
what is your age rage?
what is your gender?
how long have you worked at this facility?
what is your degree level?
ummm....
if i were to answer honestly to those questions, you would know EXACTLY who I was.
did I answer those honestly?

THAT is just crazy talk.
