Help with an apology!

[Anonymous]

I need to text my boss (we have that sort of relationship) apologizing for this afternoon. We were discussing benefits, that always makes me uncomfortable, and I'm not positive but I may have gotten a bit bitchy. We're friends, so a little on the informal side, but I still want to acknowledge this.

"Apologies if I got a little snippy when we were talking about health ins. _______________________"

What is that second sentence? We will have to discuss it again in the near future, so I don't want to make him feel bad about that by saying "it's always a difficult thing for me to discuss" even though that's the truth.

Next time we talk about it I'll take a deep breath!

Um, that is SO not something I communicate via text messaging. What are you, 23?

sorry, I can't help. (hard enough w/ my own such questions)
However, whenever I see questions like this, I always wonder why the possibility of your boss seeing this post doesn't stop you from asking on a public forum? Even if the chances are very small, wouldn't that be much worse than a less-than-perfect apology for a not-so-bad offense? Really, you have no way of knowing for sure who reads this.

No. I'm 23 and a HALF.

Because he's a dude, he's not going to be on this forum.

I would say something like, "Nothing like money talks to bring out the worst, please don't take it personally!" But I'd also just say that in person if we were actually friends.

I'm sorry if I came off snippy when we discussed health insurance. Talking about this stuff makes me anxious.

That is an apology. I would not make any promises about being cooler next time.

Employment lawyer here. I would not put that in writing.
