I hate how people where I work use the bathroom as a place to gossip and talk about things that are really personal. I mean, here they are standing at the sink, they watch me walk into a stall and they just start talking quietly, but not quietly enough. I feel weird just sitting there, but it’s uncomfortable to finish up and go to the sink too. I don’t want them to think I’m sitting there listening in but when I go to the sink they get quieter and shift around and look uncomfortable. Nothing like stepping in to one of the many empty small conference rooms this building has or something. The bathrooms here aren’t private at all and since female’s make up the majority of the people in this floor it’s always really busy. It’s hardly ever empty.

This drives me nuts.

Then there’s this woman that just shares too much personal information with anyone she gets to know. I feel like I hardly know her but I know all about how difficult it is for her to hide her nipples in such and such type of shirt. I also know more about menopause from her than I need to know at 22. *runs to hide under desk* I just really don’t need to know these things about her. If she was like one of my friends that I knew really well sure, she could share stuff like that with me, but we’re just casual acquaintences and she only gives a shit that I exist because she’s known my husband for years.

Soooo anyway, enough on that topic.

The Tolland County 4-H fair is this weekend. We usually go, hopefully the weather will hold out this year, it’s supposed to rain. There’s also a picnic with some of hubby’s family. I don’t really want to go, I’ll be honest but I feel like we should. We never see his dads side of the family and they are nice people. I just don’t do gatherings of people well. Especially when these are people I don’t know well that are going to want to try to “get to know me”. *sigh* I prefer getting to know people one on one before going to group things.

Anyway, it’s almost time for me to go home, I just had to bitch. 🙂
