OMG!!! People at work on getting on my last nerve! It is so raw I just want to punch someone in their stupid f*ing face! UGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So glad I can leave early. Hope tomorrow is better.
I felt the exact same way at work today. And if I had started beating someone to death with my umbrella, I'm pretty sure the other people in the room would have just looked the other way. Or even joined in.
The whole thing was a clusterfuck, but my biggest gripe was when I specifically asked yesterday how long I should expect this to take so I knew how much food/lunch to bring with me. The estimated hour/hour and a half turned into four hours. The protein bar I brought with me and instisted on scarfing down in front of them was SO not enough. >:(
Omg, yes! This day. Ugh. My one co-worker has their door shut with a heater on. No matter how many times I remind him that the thermostat for the AC is in his office and when he turns the heater on to 80 degrees...we all get bumped down to a balmy 66. And don't even get me started on the other office mate who insists on drinking the darkest (hence stinkiest) k-cup coffee in the world...and brewing it twice! Then...stands by me and slurps it like 3 of 4 times...I can't stand you, your coffee or your goddamn slurping. Get outta here!
Oh my gosh yes! I am so lucky that I have an office and not a cubical because I made a ton of unnecessary comments under my breath and I was concerned my eyes might fall out from rolling them. Lordy people can be stupid!
I can relate to all of you! I wish I worked in a nice office or cubicle... Instead I work as a night stocker at Walmart. DH laughs because he catches me making faces at my coworkers when they piss me off. One customer thought I had turrets. The great thing about pregnancy though, is that now I feel more bold to tell people how I really feel about them, instead of letting them think I can tolerate them.
Yesterday I was incredibly annoyed with H's uncle. This was even before we saw him for dinner. I just knew in my mind for some reason (which is weird cause it's never happened before) that he was going to hound us about having kids.
We haven't 'announced' yet and are being really cautious because of my recent loss and it just really irks me when people butt into our reproductive business. So I decided ahead of time that I was going to tell him that I don't want children.
Of course I was right and he kept bringing it up over and over all throughout dinner. H said that we want to travel more, and I said I didn't want children, and then H said we were getting a puppy for Christmas first. But still he was all, "When you guys have children..." "That's another reason you should hurry and have children". Grrr....
I'm so sick of people making comments like this!! People need to take a step back and realize that 1)not everyone wants children 2)not everyone can have children 3)you don't know what someone is going through and it could be a very sensitive subject for them!
I have two coworkers who are driving me nuts. I'm on a business trip this week, so I'm spending a lot of time with people who I otherwise see once or twice every few months.
One is older and keeps scolding me for eating/drinking anything that she was told wasn't safe to eat during her pregnancy (30+ years ago). I know she means well, but I'm not an idiot. I've read my fair share of info about what I can and cannot eat, and I communicate with my doctor regularly. Times have changed since you were pregnant. No offense, but my diet does not concern you! She also told me that I should try not to gain any weight for as long as possible. Ah, ok. Or I'll just continue to eat healthily and follow my doctor's orders. She happens to be very slight, and I am of normal, healthy build. I'm 5'8" 145lbs. I'm not a mammoth! Jeez !
And the other, who I adore, is clearly cranky because she and her husband are trying and they haven't gotten lucky yet. She keeps saying things that are pretty inappropriate about my pregnancy in front of all of our other colleagues- it is very uncomfortable. I KNOW it sucks to not be pregnant when you want to be, but as she knows, my husband and I tried for well over a year and had more than one miscarriage, so it's not like I'm insensitive. I totally get it, but I wish she would either pretend to be happy for me or at the very least, keep her snark to herself!
I have an employee that confessed today she has secretly recording our conversations (about her performance issues) without my knowledge. It has been a year of hell and I thought we moved beyond but clearly not.

I told a co-worker yesterday (I am just shy of 14w), and today he says, "I just caught a glimpse of you from the side, your belly is looking like mine!" I may be bloated and have to wear a bella band since my pans won't button, but c'mon dude, I went from a 26" waist to 30" so far...a far cry from a 40 year old guy's decades-in-the-making beer belly. Eyes almost rolled out of my head.
