I do not want to go to work
Aug. 2nd, 2006 09:30 amI do not want all the hugging and "let me know if we can do anything"s. I never know what people mean by that. "I'm here if you want to talk" is fine. But the former is so open ended I never know how far is too far.
I do not want any of the regulars who haven't been in yet to ask me how the baby's doing. I know someone will, and of course they can't help it, but I don't want to face the prospect of running away in tears from the question.
I do not want my managers constantly hover over me asking if I'm okay. If they really had that much concern they would've cared more when I told them I was having complications. (Okay, some of them did, but some of them gave off a "great, they get pregnant and all they can think about is getting out of work" vibe. Trust me, if I thought for more than a horrible, guilty minute at a time just five more minutes off my feet at any point would have saved my baby, I would've done it with or without management approval.
And to top everything off, I think I'm coming down with bronchitis.
