Re: **Still Working Check In**
What do you do for your job?
I'm a CNA/Medication Aide.
How are you feeling today?
Like butt, however I haven't taken my Zofran or eaten just yet.
When do you plan on going out for maternity leave?
I have 5 weeks until I will go on a leave of absence. I work only part time so I don't get a full maternity leave so I can take off as much time as I need.
Are your coworkers being as obnoxious as mine are?
My coworkers are pretty awesome, so no! LOL
Is anyone at your office taking bets on when you will go into labor?
Nope! However my charge nurse told me if I get sick of being pregnant any time after 37 weeks, she will totally induce labor free of charge! haha However I'm diabetic, so my baby isn't full term until 39 weeks.
What do you do for your job? I mostly sit at a desk and copy DVDs.
How are you feeling today? Like crap. I woke up 5 times last night to pee.
When do you plan on going out for maternity leave? Whenever I actually go into labor and not a minute sooner.
Are your coworkers being as obnoxious as mine are? Probably not, although my boss keeps telling me not to have this baby yet because he's not on top of things if I have to leave.
Is anyone at your office taking bets on when you will go into labor? No, thank god!
What do you do for your job? I'm the director of the Writing Center at my college
How are you feeling today? Good but my back is getting sore as my belly keeps growing.
When do you plan on going out for maternity leave? When I go into labor.
Are your coworkers being as obnoxious as mine are? Yours sound extra obnoxious. One of my coworkers has a one-year-old and she is overly protective of me. She doesn't want me to bend over or carry anything more than 5 pounds. When I come in the door each day with my briefcase and big purse and lunch bag, she makes disapproving noises.
Is anyone at your office taking bets on when you will go into labor? Nope. They just make unfunny jokes about how they want me to come back to work the day after I have the baby.
Aw, are they bugging you again today, Salt? You should tell them that every time they ask it adds a day to how long you'll be there and you're holding every single one of those days against them!
What do you do for your job? School Psychologist. I do a lot of typing, some testing, meeting with teachers, etc.
How are you feeling today? Not so hot. Tired and morning sickness-y.
When do you plan on going out for maternity leave? Well, there are 2 weeks until spring break starts. I'm hoping to not have to come back after that. If I haven't had her by then, I'll decide if I'm going back until she comes or not based on how I feel.
Are your coworkers being as obnoxious as mine are? They aren't being too bad. They just ask how I feel and how long I think it will be. I'm just 37 weeks this week, though. I'm sure as I get closer I'll get more and more comments.
Is anyone at your office taking bets on when you will go into labor? Not that I know of.
What do you do for your job? I'm a designer, so thankfully it's a desk job. I don't know how those of you that have to stand all day are still tolerating it.
How are you feeling today? Meh. I guess as good as can be expected for 39w. I'm a little tired and I have some serious heartburn this morning and have been a little nauseous on and off since yesterday.
When do you plan on going out for maternity leave? My STD starts a week from today on my due date. I'm entertaining the idea of making Friday my last day and then taking some unpaid time off at the end of my leave, but I'll probably just end up coming in even if I'm overdue.
Are your coworkers being as obnoxious as mine are? SO OBNOXIOUS.
Is anyone at your office taking bets on when you will go into labor? Today is apparently the last day for the baby pool. I just got an email about it a couple minutes ago. I wonder if I'm exempt from entering.

Are your coworkers being as obnoxious as mine are? Luckily I don't see my coworkers since I work from home, and my boss is going to be away for the first two weeks of March. I'm just annoyed at the bad timing that I have 2 extra projects on top of my usual stuff to get done before baby gets here. They are both 12 page flyers for the same client. It has taken me the entire month of February to get them to send me all the info for the first one, still waiting for them to approve 4 out of 12 pages for this Wednesday's print deadline. Approval deadline for the 2nd one is March 15, so I have to try to get it done in half the time this first one took on top of my other work.

She then goes, "Oh. That explains why you're waddling. Look at you. Waddle Waddle." I must have given her my most powerful "I hate you" look because she then said, "That's what people always said about me so now I get to say it to other people." Ummm, no. No you don't.
