I've had a falling out with someone at work, or more correctly, they've fallen out with me.

It's like this... I worked quite closely with this person on one particular piece of work for about 18 months and she formed the impression that we were friends. To the point where she invited me to her son's wedding and I only escaped because she went into hospital for a routine operation that turned out to be anything other than routine, which meant she was off work for a couple of months. Now she's back and not happy with me because I didn't get in touch with her while she was off work.

I don't know about anyone else, but there have been very few people I work with who I also consider friends. I could probably count them on the fingers of one hand over 17 years of gainful employment. Given that I don't tell people at work about my fannish secret identity, how could that possibly be otherwise?

What they said, though I probably engage slightly more than this. However, the question is do you want to resolve the situation? In which case there are probably a few ways to sound like you're apologising while being clear 'you're just colleagues'
