I gotta vent some where lol...

Ok, today marks that I am 36 weeks pregnant... CHEER almost done... but that also means a very long last few weeks at work... why... well some of you know because I have vent to them in emails... but right now I need some good thoughts and prayers so I don't kill people at work...

Let me explain... this photo is a shot of my desk at work... see those windows... they are HUGE!!! And they help bake me at work...  I don't have any AC vents by me... i have 2 desk fans and a bigger floor fan...

Picture 08-05-09 030 by you.

Well, the CFO and his wife likes the blinds all the way UP... which not only bake me... but also makes horrible glare on my puter screens... I went to the the HR lady and told her what was going on... she doesn't get it... it is only my desk in that area... so I should be the one in charge of the blinds... but NOOO... so I told her I would get notes from my OB and my family doc... and for a week and half no one touched the blinds... and now I think I know why... today while I was gone for my OB visit someone (aka cfo wife) raised my blinds... her hubby was gone... and today also marks the first day in a week and half that the CEO wasn't there... when the CEO is around the ac is set at 72 (which in a big office isn't really low) and today it was at 74 and 76...

Well I dumped by purse at my desk and went to the kitchen to get some ice (because my area is always about 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the rest of the office) and saw the HR chickie... and told her about the blinds... oh she was pissed... and used some choice words, stormed over and lower the blinds lol...

Now she has these notes... but the thing is ... they are now pulling this crap with the blinds when I'm not around... so she can't toss the notes at them... so tonight I have a lovely heat rash (lets face it pregger clothes isn't the most breathable so it stretches) and I am sure that I will wake up with a super fun and itchy skin yeast infection...

So other than prayers and wanting to personally beat these 2 people with a bat... any ideas... because I know my HR friend is out of them... and me and her are also trying to figure out if I "want to pump" at work where to do it at... the only private room is the bathroom... and there is no outlets in there...

I just love being a girl... NOT!

WOW.... They should care about your comfort.    Feel better ----> Work better.
Thats pathetic that THEY like them up... You're the one by the window and PREGNANT!
I would be crying. They should take your feelings into consideration. 
Heres hoping your next few weeks are better, Susie

You would think that... but no... the CFO actually told me "HE needs sunlight"... I told Jeremy that and Jeremy came back with... what is he a plant? lol... everyone but those 2 say it is so hot by my desk... and to add to it the heat is making my blood pressure really low... I was dizzy and light headed all day at work... so I wonder what it will take for them to get it... do I need to pass out a work or what??

Great pic.  We all look like that when we're 36 weeks.
You'll be losing soon after the bundle is born.
Just hold your head up high, and pull those shades down.
Don't worry what anyone else thinks about that. Take care of yourself.

Oh Shannon,
You poor thing.  I can't suggest anything other than getting totally hormonal all over them, and crying.  Either that, or get your doc to put you our earlier, if that is an option.  

My daughter was able to time her pregnancies so that school had already ended for her, as their last day is always the Friday before Memorial Day.  The joys of being a teacher.

Hang in there. 

As for pumping, I think you should park the pump on the CFO's desk and whip it out right there....just kidding....LOL

Hugs and love,
Trish

i did that the first day they did that to me... and I hate crying... totally hate it... and he still didn't care...

Everyone else there is awesome... just these 3 dorks from hell... I want to make xlax brownies for them... and Jeremy said maybe it will help because it might remove the pole from their butts lol...

I wish I had something nice to say, but there is nothing nice to say about people who lack common sense and/or consideration for others.  I hope your last few weeks go quickly.  Maybe you can offer to change spaces with one of the people who need the sunlight for the duration of your pregnancy and then they'll get it in a hurry. . .

Hugs, Laureen

I can't move because I'm the Receptionist... so I have to be up front to "greet" people... but on the opposite side of the entry way is the CFO wife's office... so she beats me to greating people because she can see them coming up the walk and I can't...

Perfect argument, then, for why you need to move to HER office... so you can properly greet people as the receptionist!  She gets the light and heat, you get the cool and a tool to do your job even better.  Win-Win.

Pity it has to come to that!
