they will forget and revert to self-involved chatter in 48 to 78 hours.
I think that's true of most people, really.
ETA: I like Ginger's answers very much.

If they press, tell them, "You don't want to know. You'll never think about women the same away again."
Heh. "If I told you, your dick would probably necrose and fall off. Do you want me to tell you?"

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
David! in Tuesday's New York Times they had an article about people living on houseboats on London's canals. The photo had a full-color picture of a houseboat named "Matilda."

YOU GUYS.
I have a job interview on Monday.
I have been with my current company TEN YEARS.
I am so excited because my current department is devouring me starting with my bottom, but internally I am also flipping out like a mammal because I have NO IDEA HOW TO DO A JOB INTERVIEW. When I was first hired here, I was a 25 year-old temp. (Holy shit, I've almost literally been working here my entire adult life. CHANGE IS SCARY.)
Allyson, I think Ginger has the best script. It's really none of their business.

Jessica, you will be awesome! Congrats on the interview.

I think I should get to live on a houseboat in London named "Matilda." It seems right.

Go Jess! Change is scary, but exciting!
I'm afraid I haven't heard of Til Tuesday
Is that maybe Tuesday Morning?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You should have heard. I mean, voices carry.

Yes, it maybe is that. The other is probably a music group that my brain automatically goes to whenever I see the signs for Tuesday Morning.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Go, Jessica!
And yeah, Allyson, it is none of their business. "I had some health issues that were really painful to treat, and I had to take time off to treat and recover."
People are giving you good options; most people will be expressing concern over your health, and are just going to be glad to see that you're back.
