DH and I both took off work last week to finish up some house projects and get ready for baby. (I'm due June 26th). By Sunday, I felt pretty good and feel that in terms of my "home life," I'm ready for baby.
Work, however, is a different story. Ever since yesterday, it's like everyone realized I have 3 weeks left and I've been BOMBARDED with work. I literally have 4 projects to finish, my boss wants me to start another one, write a report, participate in teleconferences, review resumes for an open position, and get some mandatory training done. And try and squeeze 4 more doctor's appointments in between.
On the outside, I've just been smiling and say that I will do my best, but on the inside I want to scream. Seriously, people! I gave you plenty of warning about this! All this extra work and added pressure is really stressing me out and I just want to go hide.
Anyone else super frustrated with work right now?
Re: Work Vent- Please Tell Me I'm Not Alone!
I feel you. I am about to leave the office for my 39wk appt and I am packing work stuff so that I can jam some more work in at the dr's office. And if the way things are going is any indication, I am positive I will be bombarded with emails and calls from work during my maternity leave also.
I just keep telling myself that I am lucky to have a job, a 3 months of paid maternity leave and a job to come back to after.
