Oh My Gosh!

Seriously! I just walked to the bathroom and saw one of the pregnant girls in my office talking to another girl…who I just realized was ALSO pregnant. They were talking about pregnancy stuff…gag!
I think I might just avoid leaving my cubicle for the rest of the afternoon. I can’t go anywhere without being bombarded with pregnancy news…grrrr!
It might be bitchy but I refuse to even go around congratulating everyone. They will get enough of that without me having to add to it. It’s all about self-preservation!
What a great day! (but seriously, I am still ok, it’s just like, “how much do I have to endure already”)

Aah, the sneak attack pregnancy announcement is not to be out-done by the co-worker response and/or conversation of pregnancy. I work with a lovely woman who is childless by choice. At a luncheon outing, she ended up being sandwiched between three pregnant women. And, bless her heart, she tactfully steered the conversation away from babies after 30 minutes of the “Everything Pregnancy” conversation. (After she managed this feat, she winked at me. She is currently one of my favorite people.)

Yeah, stick to your desk. Maybe carry around a bottle of Tylenol and tell everyone you have a terrible headache so they should not even talk to you because their voices are just so loud. Or get a portable CD player. I used to wear the headphones of my CD player at work when the girl who sat across from me always used to talk to me. I didn’t have any music on, I just wore the headphones and whenever she talked to me, I would lift them up and say “huh?” Having to repeat herself all the time made her stop talking to me.

Absolutely, you must do whatever it takes to keep yourself sane!
