I had kind of an emotional day where I got caught up in something I shouldn’t be caught up in. Resulted in me being distracted, quiet, angry, anxious, disillusioned and a little withdrawn. My supervisor asked me if I was feeling “frazzled.” My coworker asked me if I was okay because I look “dazed.”
So I finally just told them I felt weird.
Supervisor:
Are you pregnant?
Coworker:
Are you light headed?
Me:
NO!!! I’m not pregnant. Yes I’m a little light headed.
Coworker:
Oooh! First sign of being pregnant.
Supervisor:
Have you been taking your birth control pills?
Me:
I’m not pregnant. Yes.
Supervisor:
Every day or just one day?
Me:
Every day!
Supervisor:
I don’t know, should we give her a pregnancy test?
Coworker:
Yes.
Supervisor:
How is your blood pressure?
Coworker:
We should take your blood pressure.
Supervisor:
And her temperature.
Coworker:
And her waist circumference.
I mean I’m not pregnant but they just gave me the urge to pee in a cup. And wrap a blood pressure cuff around myself. And yes, even take my temperature and measure my waist.
P.S. Our office’s running joke is that you might be pregnant if you’re not feeling well. Regardless of whether you’re having sex or not.
