Co-Workers cause eye rolls

I came back to work today after being out since Wednesday with a placenta abruption.  My female, middle-aged, Eastern European co-worker asked me for the details and then proceeded to tell me that I looked "puffy" in the face........

In my head- "B---! I'm pregnant and haven't been sleeping well. Of course I'm puffy in the face.  What's your excuse?!"

In reality- "I haven't been sleeping well"

Then I walked away, rolled my eyes, and told my teammate what she said.

 The End. 

I wanted to slap her. However, she gives me a LOT of good stories on a consistent basis to tell my other teammate...and to you ladies.  My particular favorite was when she told me I looked like I lost 3 lbs.

That's awesome - my eyeroll coworker is the one who has been telling me for the past 3 weeks that I'm not supposed to lift or carry those 40# buckets and boxes.  I'm only 15 weeks, and at my last job I was routinely throwing around 50# bags.

Instead of slapping her, I just let her know when I spent the last 20 minutes in the freezer restacking pallets of supplies (in my head, sticking out my tongue)!

Way to go on the restraint - I might have actually had to stuff my hand in my pocket to refrain from slapping her!  Of course, there are always pregnancy hormones to blame if that itchy slapping hand flies!! :) 

Good luck!

Some people have no filter. Our school secretary, I love her and she is one of the first people at work that I told, but says things like that all the time. When I got my haircut, she said - and I quote - "you got your hair cut...yeah I don't like it." And today she told me "whoa you got a LOT  bigger!" HA! I just laugh at it and try not to let it get under my skin.

Yea, I guess it's just best to make the most of it...at least she usually brings you some free entertainment! I think I would have been a bit more snarky with my response though. Good job for having some willpower!
