I had to run go get LilZ and bring him to my office for the last half of the day (long story). My boss doesn’t mind this periodically and his son was even here this morning.
HOWEVER…
We walked into the office after the 30-minute-hottest-part-of-the-day commut. I was VERY stinky (remember, no a/c), very flushed (remember, no a/c) and very frizzy (remember…I’m in freakin’ Alabama and the humidity level is always 100 billion percent and I’m always frizzy) and just rough looking all around. We were also toting in several bags (pokemon cards, laptops, office entertainment type things) as well as some BBQ chips.
In other words? We were a very strange looking, and oddly smelling, pair as we entered the office.
And what did we see? One of my supervisors standing in the foyer talking to a bunch of guys in suits. Guys in suits who looked at the two of us like, “Excuse me, you must be in the wrong place…” and probably then controlled a wee little gag as they got a whiff of my stanky, sweaty, body.
Dear Lord, if those men were here to bring us work, don’t let them judge a stinky pregnant women who totes her kid and her potato chips around the office as someone who can NOT be trusted with complex tasks. Let them see THROUGH the cloud of body odor boob sweat and see the genius that lies beneath. Or just give them strong stomachs and sympathetic hearts. That will work too.
Amen.
AMEN!
body odor and boob sweat…..sounds like two new flavor ideas for HP Jelly Beans!!!!!
Well see, if they were business men looking to give you business, then they would be incredibly impressed that even with a small problem you will still make do and get back to the office to put your genius to work. A lot of working mothers would just go home..So that would give them the confidence that no matter what, their work would get done….Amen
Oh no! That’s awful. I’m sure they hardly even noticed you. Maybe. Please God.
Eeek! Well, I’m sure they didn’t really mind the sweatiness b/c hello it’s a millionthousand degrees outside. It’s understandable.
Oh my gosh woman, you are frickin hilarious! There really does need to be a Zoot reality show!
Yeah! What YOUR MOM said.
p.s. I love the new skin and yes, you are really having a baby!
