Oh & that tall thin coworker (in a different building) who I'd wondered if she might be pregnant at the christmas party because she was wearing a loose sweater that wasn't her usual style? Was. I figured this out when she came back from her 3 month maternity leave. In march.
Observant, I am not.
Some chick at work tugged on my skirt in the caf this morning. Skirt goes to Goodwill. Not because she touched it, but because it looked like she had to. The lining is possessed.
What you cannot do when someone announces her pregnancy is PAT her stomach. Luckily I have a frosty New England reserve, or so I am told, and no stranger ever laid a hand on my belly.
Dudes, if there is one thing I would never do, it is pat someone's stomach! Ew.
Edit: But I am glad to know that my anti-hug vibes should carry through into anti-belly touch vibes if I ever get pregnant.

I've never patted a pregnant belly. I have cupped one or two, though. But I'd never do it to someone I hadn't already, say, hugged. Hugged a bunch of times, too.
I'd pat Jesse's tummy lots.
Of course there are people who break through my nature reserve. ita, you can rub my belly now, if you want. Boo boo.
KristinT - I'm guessing it was the same person you guessed and for the same reasons plus
his mom is at the hospital and I bet he'd like to see Veronica too.
They have one or two things to talk about, you know?
IWF cracks down on illegal porn at work:
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) has launched a campaign to crackdown on child porn in the workplace. It claims that many IT managers are unsure about what to do if they found illegal material on their servers and wants to raise awareness about to do.
A survey of 200 IT managers found that three quarters of those quizzed would not report employees caught downloading indecent images of children to the police, while four in ten companies surveyed would not even discipline or dismiss an employee caught up to no good.
Oops, I beleive I have hugged Jesse. The Hugging Force is strong within me and I try to remember when I meet folks whether they are non-huggers, but I get all excited and fergit. I never patted someone's belly without an invitation, though, because, ew.
no stranger ever laid a hand on my belly.
Try riding the LA subway at 30+ weeks. Small, older Hispanic woman would rub and rub and rub like I was a freaking crystal ball. But they were sweet, too.
