Had a hormonal meltdown at work!
I've been hiding my pregnancy from my boss but I guess the secret is out now! I'm usually very good at customer service and in business. I've always taken pride in being able to separate my personal life from my work life, but this morning, it all fell apart.
First of all, I'm 15 weeks and still throwing up EVERY day. Now that we're in second trimester, was really looking forward to that nausea ending and the amazing burst of e edgy everyone talks about....but...nothing yet. I've only recently added MIGRAINE HEADACHES to the mix. Fun stuff combined with vomiting and dehydration.
This morning was a MIGRAINE morning, so late to work. Get to work and have missed calls, emails and people knocking on my office door every minute. Get a lot of stuff handled then deal with a particularly difficult customer over the phone who proceeds to complain about furniture in his office and threatens to withdraw his lease. Btw, I lease commercial space.
He is so rude that I actually hung up on him after I told him I would replace the chair he was complaining about being stained.
He calls back and wants to know why I hung up on him. I played it off and told him I didn't realize I had done that and I apologized but he just proceeded to make it a personal thing abc asked if I was alright.
It took everything in me just to get off the phone with him again and hold it together. Then I burst into tears like someone had died. I cried so hard that my face was just red.
I went to the bathroom to clean up and when I came out one of my tenants asked if I was ok. It was like the 7th person to ask and I just looked at her and said, No, I'm pregnant.
So tired of holding it in and my bump that is starting to make an appearance.
Just ready to embrace this pregnancy and get to a point where I can enjoy it. I've been so sick and work with a bunch of business people and engineers that I'm afraid will not take me seriously.
Does this make me a bad mom already?
