O/T pregnancy/ work vent
My employer/manager calls me into her office today to talk about maternity leave. Nice conversation, then she starts with "and one more thing id like to bring up...."
Apparently "several" ppl at work have made comments that I'm "not my usual bubbly self" lately, and what's wrong with me? I'm not the "go getter" that I usually am....
I'm 6 months pregnant!! I feel tired as hell most the time, and I'm on my feet most of the day. Sorry guys, that I'm not "happy" enough for you lately.
I responded that I would try to be more "myself"...
Jeez. I show up every damn day and do my job, don't I?? I guess I'm not one of those women who love being pregnant, and it shows a little.... god forbid.

My boss did the same thing
My boss did the same thing when I was pregnant. Apparantly people complained to him that I wasn't "motivated" enough or some crap. I told them the same thing, be glad my butt didn't call in everyday! I can't believe the insensitivity of some people, even women who have been through it! They seemed to have forgotted how it felt! Growing a baby is hard work!
That bugs me! I have had a
That bugs me! I have had a decent pregnancy but yeah, you just aren't really "yourself" when you've got so much going on. This last month for me I've been really exhausted and kind of just hole up in my cubicle. Everyone is like, "Are you okay????" non-stop. YES i'm FINE I'm just PREGNANT and TIRED! Leave me alone!
