A sprinkle of drama
Office Drama:
A man who worked in the section right next to me has disappeared. He was very "chatty"… I think I wrote about him a time or two. He’d just come up and talk your ear off even if you weren’t paying attention to him.
anyway, there is a big fuss in the city with news reporters taking video of city employees who are slacking off on the job. They have found people sleeping in city vehicles, going into bars, taking extended lunches, that sort of thing.
Anyway, I guess this guy got featured last night (I didn’t see it). They showed him sitting in his work truck for hours… there is no evidence that he wasn’t working, but I’m not sure what he could be doing parked on the side of the road in one place for long periods of time. They then show him going grocery shopping and taking the bags back to a house where the reporter claims his "girlfriend" lives.
A few details to know: He is a 60+ year old man. He has a wife with several children and grand children. If this reporter is correct, he’s got a little thing on the side and it got broadcast to the world.
Anyway, I came in today and his entire desk is cleaned off. No pictures, nothing. He wasn’t in today and nobody is saying a word.
Very strange!!!!!
Period Drama:
Hopefully coming to a close. I think I saw some pink the last time I went to the bathroom. I feel cramps finally and it’s all leading me down the road to bloody victory (gross). So yeah, who cares that the damn thing is 5 days late, right? UGH. I hate my body SO MUCH.
I’ve decided to keep all late period rants on private for a while, because I KNOW this is going to happen again and I don’t feel like annoying anyone. I’ll only bring it up AFTER I take a positive pregnancy test.
lol.
Body Image Drama:
So then, to make the icing on this stupid cake sweet, my boss comes over to my desk and whispers, "Are you pregnant? I see a belly"
SIIIIIIIIIIIGH!!!!
No!!!!!!
And yeah.
I need to go home and work out.
Probably not gonna happen today, but still!
stupid body.
and now, I’m off to do some work.
IMAGINE!!!!!

I’m sure the primary rule in life is to never, ever assume a woman to be pregnant. It always ends in some kind of embarrassment.

I’m a little overweight too and I hate the “Oooh, you’re pregnant?” comments. Nope. I’m sure not. Thanks for calling me fat, lady. Haha…

What the holy FUCK is wrong with your boss?! You know, I’m a goddamn chunker with shitty body image issues and if someone came up to me and asked if I were pregnant I’d be tempted to claw some face. Who the hell SAYS shit like that? Ugh!

HI! Comeuppance is a real bitch – good for the bastard! Well my momma always used to say us “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want to see on the front page of the paper.” Translated for our times, on: TV Investigative News Reports; the Huffington Post; or RadarOline…

Someone once asked me that on a train. Because I was feeling sick I guess and looked pale, or maybe the dress I was wearing? I have no idea. It was a ruiner of my week, though.

And btw, laughing my ass off at JustAnotherLostSouls comment. Vampire buffet……

HA, omg, what is wrong with people. It’s like if you have a little excess fat you’re instantly preggo. I don’t see the big deal in talking about your period, whatev’s, it’s just something on your mind, if it’s late it’s late and if you need to vent about it, I say go for it. That’s strange about the man at work. Really crappy to be honest. I mean it’s not good to screw the city over but at the same time I wonder if he was allowed to tell his side of the story.

that was really rude of your boss….. im sorry she said that! that is neat that they did a specail on city employees….and it makes you wonder if he really didnt work if his office is already cleared out…..

I’m kinda wearisome on writing about something so much too. But it’s your diary hun and therefore if people don’t want to read it then they can just simply click x! Glad you seem to be getting it now anyway. My body’s not very often like that and I’m thankful for it. Man…if you’ve told people once when they asked if you were pregnant and you said no, you’d think they’d take a hint! Some

people either have a loss of memory or short term or amnesia or something! People’s stupidity is annoying! Acknowledges the drama in the office.

I hate that! I get asked if I’m pregnant every so often because I’m mostly thin but have a bit of a stomach bulge (like, very little…if I wear the wrong clothes it looks like I’m maybe a couple of months along at most). I can’t believe that people don’t realize how rude that is. I always tell people the rule is, you never ask a woman if she’s pregnant unless you see a baby coming out of her.:)
Warning Comment
I’m fat and I know it, but to have your boss come up to you and ask, instead of you saying something… that is just plain rude. Really though, WTF?!! And I wanna know what city you live in so I can go and watch the news about your city employees, that is hella funny if the little old man got caught in his own scandal.
Warning Comment
Oh my. That is some drama. What a way to learn your husband cheated on you…
Warning Comment
Thank God no one has asked me if I was pregnant lately, I hate that. Although my best friend’s 3 year old asked me why my tummy was big. I told him some people are just built that way. His mom was so embarrassed. Oh and my 3 year old nephew told me I had a big butt. What IS it with 3 year olds?
Warning Comment
Your coworker=BUSTED! HA! Uh, yeah… I’d have had to make a scene on your boss. What the freakin’ heck, man?!
Warning Comment
Unless someone sees a baby COMING OUT OF YOU, they should never assume you are pregnant. Wench!
