WTF Wednesday!!!

We haven't done one of these in a while and I need to vent!  Anyone else?

So, I came back from lunch & a coworker came up with a rouse to get me in her department (I'm HR and she told me that coworkers were fighting). When I got in there was cake, flowers & balloons and a few other coworkers including my boss. It was really nice & very thoughtful, but the lack of people made me feel badly. I decided to put it out of my mind, chalk those feelings up to hormones & be grateful that some people thought of me.

I sent an email to the two who I assumed put it together thanking them.

(this is where it may get confusing, so I'm sorry if it does) I get an email back from one of them, we'll call her N, that is a forward. The original was today at noon from another coworker inviting a number of people to cake for me on Friday. N replied to all letting them know they surprised me today in case I leave early but that "2 surprises are better than one". Her boss then replied asking if there was communication about today's surprise. N forwards it to me saying she doesn't know why he would ask her since today's surprise was "word of mouth". So, now she is sort of spoiling a surprise for me on Friday (which knowing N she probably doesn't realize), but is putting me in an awkward position. Now I know there is some tension & miscommunication around this. And stress that I don't effing need.

Also, the person who planned the Friday surprise for me showed up for about 30 seconds. Like I saw her, turned around & then she was gone. So I'm sure she's feeling like her thunder was stolen.

Being the HR rep I'm very sensitive to the dynamics around the campus so maybe I'm overthinking this, but as I type I'm actually seeing this as a bigger problem with our company and silos/lack of communication.

Feel free to tell me that this is not as big of an issue that I think it is and that I'm just a hormonal crazy person who really needs her maternity leave.


Edit - N just realized what she sent me and asked me not to read the email trail, and she's sure everything is fine.  She really does mean well.

Ohman. The best laid plans, eh?

Enjoy your cake and screw the rest of the drama.

Thanks everyone. I did enjoy my cake! And then our Accounting department gave me a $50 gift certificate to a local spa, which is incredibly sweet & generous.


I think I'm just in a whiny mood today.  (whomp-whomp)

I just left my post pardon check up, they didn't do anything.. He just asked about birth control and told me bleeding was normal till 8-12 weeks.

With the other boys they checked to make sure I healed properly, felt my uterus, ect. Nothing this time. I don't understand why I even went in, and waited 2 hours to be seen. Ugh

WTF induction?!? I swear this will be the slowest induction ever! I got in at 9am and didn't even get an IV placed until almost 1pm. I know these things aren't quick-- but seriously--I am just sitting here not feeling a thing. Based on my last induction I figured I would be pretty close to having the baby by now, but instead I am just waiting for them to go through the motions so we can break my water and get this show on the road.
