Something happened today, which left me thinking of this particular Thoughtful Thursday...it was the question in non-suspended motion.
I made the mistake of revealing about my IF struggles to some of my colleagues when I was a new joinee here....I shelled up only after I realized that I had shared it with people who had no inclination/caring to know about it, barring the occasional fodder for a chat.
I have a colleague that I am not really fond of. She seems to have a knack of identifying the weak points of others and then uses that to gain intimacy. And I hate people who try to get too cozy with me, before I decide that I want to be cozy with them.
Anyways, she has some idea about the fact that I am babyless and trying....Several times she just comes around to discuss stuff, especially in the morning, when nobody is there and she has been 'comparing' my case to that of her close friend S.
I have never asked about the history of that girl, but my colleague dishes out her story anyways...and joy of joys, she has finally conceived...so I came to know that too, today morning.
So my this colleague, still working with that information that she had since my pre-shelling...is not aware of my move towards higher-order ART. And she comes hopping to ask -
Would I still consider trying that miracle-worker doctor referral of hers?
Nopes. Thank You.
[This will be my look next time she comes around. Everybody must have a Milton Waddams in them.]^WiseGuy^

ewwww, how audacious. i LOVE office space, it is one of my favorite movies of all time.
gee how helpful people can be....NOT. and people wonder hy we don't share more often. ((hugs))
Why can't people just be curious, but not be rude or nosy about it?! If we want someone to know something, we'll let them in on it, if not, then MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! Great picture! That movie is TOO funny!
*HUGS*
I love Office Space!!!! Too, too funny!
((HUGS)
People can be so annoying, spouting words they can't even begin to understand... grrr. Sorry hun.
Sorry for the annoying co-worker...

Love the pic/Office Space reference, though!
That expression is priceless.
Ugh. Nosy office neighbors, busy bodies, people who puff up other people's drama. I can do without them.
Remember your ALI sisterhood supporting you.
Thanks so much for sporting my button!
Hugs to you, WiseGuy.
I'm sorry about the annoying coworker! If only we could just wish people away... for a moment, or forever!
ERRRR!! I can't stand it when people butt into your business like that!!
I did that too, when I was about to embark on IVF. I told people who I shouldn't have. Sucks.
Argh. Got to love annoying co-workers like that (I feel like smacking them sometimes)
*hugs*
