So, today has been an interesting day to say the least. *ranting* and *raving*...
First off, let me start by saying I'm not in love with my job, but days like today....make it even less bearable!....
I work at a small, locally owned print shop...and we make color copies, black and white copies...Kinda like Kinkos...(sorta) But we do shipping and...SO MUCH OTHER RANDOM CRAP...Anyway...I have just finished this lady's pictures and as she get's ready to leave she asks "So, when's your little bundle due?"....At first, I was wondering if she was talking about a shipment or something, but that didn't make much sense....Erg...I smiled, as she is the customer and we're not allowed to be upset with them...and said "Ooh, I'm not pregnant."... She just looked at me, as if to say "Are you sure?" And then said..."Well sometimes people just have those little "pooches" they can't get rid of, don't they?" (Please, God....just create a whirlwind and blow her out of this store) But it didn't stop there...No, no. "Well, I'm certainly glad you're not offended..A lot of women would be offended, but not you." ...(PLEASE, LEAVE SO I CAN SULK IN PRIVATE, LADY!) And then, finally...with a fake smile, and a vision of me throwing her out of the store, I wished her a good day.
Then, I swear...Not even 30 minutes later...More like 15 I'd say. A lady and her son come into the store needing to ship some heavy tools and such...And, It was kinda heavy..not outrageous but...I'm not a freakin' pansy, so I lift it up and she just about has a cow..."Oooh, honey, let him lift that for you. You shouldn't be lifting anything that heavy especially if you're pregnant." For a moment, I considered saying "Oooh I know being pregnant is sOoOOoooo rough! Espeically in this heat...Ooh please, would you lift this for me?!" And be completely ridiculous. But, I just said as nonchalantly as possible "I'm not pregnant'....Atleast she didn't point out that I had a "pooch" (Kill me please). She just said "Ooh, I'm sorry. How embarrassing." Let me just point out....its far less embarrassing for the person who mistakes someone being pregnant than for the actual person who is being questioned whether or not they are infact pregnant. Mmmmkay? Apparently, I need to start a diet, immediately. Truthfully, I think my birth control may be causing me to gain weight. Ya know they should really make it so that it's the ACTUAL medicine that is the birth control, and not the fact that I'm turning into a blimp. I don't wanna turn my husband off for God's sake...I just wanna not get pregnant!
Oooy! Thanks for listening to me whine and complain. I'll probably be whining and complaining later as I'll be starving...But, I REFUSE to eat! I'm going on a NO FOOD diet!
How depressing!
