Ugh...work :(

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
What am I doing here? I'm sitting at work, I have no work to do because no one knows what to give me since I could leave at any moment. I've had no 'real' work to do for two weeks now.

Everyone comments in the morning that they thought they wouldn't see me today, then in the afternoon they say "hope I don't see you tomorrow!" which they mean in a friendly way, but it's just getting old.

The girls I work with are all VERY mainstream, and really don't understand why I don't have an induction date yet, why I haven't let the dr check me for dilation, etc. I'm slightly tired of hearing them talk about it honestly. At first I used it as a teaching opportunity, I didn't preach anything, just here and there mentioned how/why it's better to do things naturally.

It's flu shot day at work today, I didn't know before I came in. At least it's the shot, if they were giving the nasal spray I'd go home. But everyone is walking around with a sticker that say "I got it...did you?" Nice. No one has pressured me at all, and I'm more than ready to defend my choice not to, in fact in my grumpy mood I almost look forward to someone saying something!!

Can I just go home?

Can I go home too? Actually, yesterday I did. I spent the afternoon with my mom, who helped me make 14 lbs of tomatoes into spaghettis sauce, then can it. We also installed a closet organizer into our master bedroom closet and move DH's clothes into it, then move my clothes out of the hall closet and into our new closet in the spare room. We have an old home we've been renovating/restoring, and that was the last "project" I wanted to accomplish before baby arrives. Thank God it's all done and each bedroom now has its own closet.

But work... is boring. I'm really thinking of taking another half day today as well. There's just so much more I could be doing at home. I don't have a thing to do here, and my last day is tomorrow anyways.... And I'm SO sick of people asking, "Haven't you had that baby yet?" I actually told someone I'd had one over the weekend, but there were two more left inside that weren't ready to come out. Ugh.

I ended up leaving early yesterday, intending to go home and rest and do some work from home, but ended up having an issue with Connor's school that I had to deal with. Grr.

Today I'm staying home. I was up most of the night with contractions that eventually fizzled out I'm not even attempting to work from home today, just taking a day off. I took a bath, that was nice, but didn't do anything.

Sigh.

Tomorrow's my due date...I might just be done with work, I don't have the patience or tolerance anymore.

Sorry yesterday was a bust for you... At least you had some contractions; I'm starting to wonder if my body remembers it's supposed to have a baby soon. I ended up taking another half day today, and I'll take one tomorrow too. I'm SO done. I just don't seem to care about anything but prepearing to have this baby. Anything else seems like a waste of time.

for you to start labor soon!
