People can be so ignorant

We had our Annual Company Saftey Luncheon today. They raffle off two prizes. One for 4 days off and $4,000 and the other for 1 day off and $1,000. Pretty good prizes. Well for starters. Someone asked me if I was coming to the Luncheon on their way over there. I said yes and got up and grabbed my bag. By the time I got to the Elevator they press the doors to close. I put my hand in and told them don't go leaving the step child now. Everyone laughed. I'm sure it was a fake laugh. My walk to the restaurant was lonely. Everyone talking to each other and I felt singled out. When we got to the restaurant they were talking to each other and I had no participation in the subjects. When food came around for people to take some and pass the dish, I kept getting skipped right over me to the next person. Each time I had to grab the plate.
The food was really good. When the time for the drawing came one lady kept repeating that I haven't been there a year yet and I shouldn't qualify. I told her thanks for putting so much focus in me. If I win the drawing you'll have to convince all these people that I don't qualify. I didn't win and neither did she. I'm glad. Then on our walk back they were walking so fast and leaving me behind. So I held my head up and just walked behind them. When they stopped I kept going like I was never following them or walking with them.

This is not the first time I get singled out.
They order lunch and never ask if I want to order anything.
They bring birthday cakes and sit in the lunch room and tell me when its all over.
When the receptionist calls out they volunteer me for the most odd times.

It's starting to get me pissed.
