that a coworker was trying to sabotage you?
The smelly one in my office is more than nuts. Three weeks ago, Smelly gave me information to post to student accounts. I had no reason to believe the info she gave was faulty because the director asked her to gather the info prior to giving it to me.
Yesterday, I found out Smelly gave me the wrong info and knew it. She had no intention of telling me. When I called her out on the error, she sent me the correct info, but left it at that. I had to email the director for more info about the subject due to the error on the original info. The director had no idea what I was talking about because Smelly failed to tell the director about the error.
So, now it looks like it's my mistake even though it's Smelly's mistake. At least I have emails to back me up during review.

Ya know, I wouldn't even really acknowledge that they're friends outside of work. Make it about you and your job performance.
"I need to talk to you about something, and it's really an issue I want you to be aware of rather than something I need you to fix. Recently, this happened {enter work situation here}. Here are the e-mails to back up what I'm saying. Whether or not that's the case, I feel like her error has made me look bad, and I wanted to let you know so that it doesn't reflectly poorly on me or my job performance. I wanted you to be aware of what really happened."
Yup
That sounds perfect. Good luck! And what a sucky situation
