Expectant Bosses
My boss told me yesterday that she's 7 weeks pregnant. And she's having a hard time with morning sickness. And, apparently, afternoon sickness and really all the hours except 6-8 pm sickness. As a result, she's been taking some sick time. I, myself, have no problem with this. I imagine that no one else in the office will have a problem with this. Why should we? But, if this had been last month, crabby, crappy, unhappy
co-worker would have been marking the days on her calendar and
complaining about this every day. I never really understood this attitude, and why it made crappy, crabby, unhappy co-worker pop out of her skin? It doesn't affect the nature, scope, or quantity of our work load if the boss isn't here, but CCUCW took personal affront every time the boss took a sick or vacation time. I just use this to my advantage, that is: I don't feel guilty when I take sick or vacation time. My work doesn't suffer and that's why Mario gives us the days anyway. I never understood why CCUCW never saw it that way.
But, it isn't last month, it is this month and CCUCW has left for other pastures (which I imagine aren't going to be any greener for her in the long run). It's so refreshing when you work in an office filled with rational, normal, happy people.

You bitch. I'm so jealous.
