Twice today I have been hit with stupidity... UGH!!
The first time a lady who works in another department on another floor had come to my desk to ask me about something. She is looking around my cubicle at my pictures and says "This is the first I've had a chance to congratulate you on the baby so congrats. I've never seen pics of your kids before but I did hear through the grapevine they are mixed. Okay so when that paperwork is finished can you just interoffice it to D?" What is that? She turned and walked away before I could say anything - not that I could have at the time because I was still trying to figure out what she had said...when did my "mixed" (I hate that word and DO NOT use it to describe my children - just my own preference) kids become office gossip? Maybe she didn't mean anything by it but it really struck me wrong.
The second time someone else was asking about Kianna and how she is doing (this person knows about Kierra). I was saying that she is doing great but she is growing up way too fast for me. The lady said "well it sure beats the alternative." I, of all people, know that too well - thank you very much! I just thought that was an ignorant thing to say.
I am guessing I am just hormonally inbalanced today and I am just making a big deal out of something I shouldn't. But both times I just wanted to smack them upside their heads!! Okay rant over...thanks!!
