Is this just being mean?

coasterqueen wrote: Okay, I'm obviously pg moody and I'm extremely annoyed at my co-worker (the only other person I work with since there is just 2 of us plus the boss) who decided to take a mini vacation the same week session was going on PLUS two huge meetings leaving me to do everything alone.

So of course I'm a bit on the crabby side with her this morning. Well I found out that she scheduled a hair appointment at lunch today at the SAME time as my lunch (the only time I can take lunch with Ryan) and someone needs to be here since we have a ton of people in here today. She only gets a 1/2 hour lunch because she leaves early and when she gets her hair done she's gone for 1.25 hours, drives me nuts! She knows during session she needs to schedule those appts on Fridays or on her 1/2 day offs, especially if she's going to go over her 1/2 hour.

Yesterday I was in this office from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm and then went straight to a dinner from 6:00 pm til 8:30 pm......the only time I saw the outside was to go to work and to go to and from dinner. PLUS since I couldn't leave for lunch yesterday I ended up having to eat popcorn because restaurants don't deliver downtown to just one person they have to huge orders. Nice lunch, huh.

So if I get the chance to actually go to lunch today I want to go and I want to go with my DH. She just peeves me off that she'd schedule her appt today the day she gets back from vacation and it's chaotic here.

But now I feel bad if I make her cancel her appt just so I can go to lunch with DH. Am I being a bitty about this? Seriously, on one side I feel like I am and on the other I feel like I'm not. Why am I being so petty today?

Boys r us replied: WHAT??????? Karen, I don't think you're being unreasonable AT ALL!!!!
In fact she is!
I mean, I would just break it down real nicely for her..I had to eat popcorn at my desk yesterday b/c no one was here to relieve me, today, I'm GOING to lunch with Ryan at SUCH AND SUCH TIME! End of story...let HER be the one to decide if SHe is going to leave for her appointment! Did she come to you and confirm that it was okay for her to take the time off and it didn't interfere with YOUR day for her hair appointment? No! So, why should you confer with her as to whether you can go to lunch???? IMHO lunch for a pregnant woman is much more important than a hair appointment
Does she care that you've had to make sacrafices for her? Sure doesn't sound like it..so force her to make one for you!

Kaitlin'smom replied: I agrre with Nichole....she is the one who is VERY inconsiderate. I would just inform her of your lunch plan and not worry about her hair appointment..let her deal with that

5littleladies replied: You should not feel bad about this! She is being selfish and inconsiderate. She can get her hair done some other time. I'd let her have it and then go enjoy your lunch with Ryan.

ammommy replied: I'm with everyone else on this one. Yesterday you sacrificed, so today it's her turn. Go to lunch and let her worry about rescheduling her appointment. Since she knows that she needs to work her personal life around her work schedule (novel concept, huh?) it's her problem!

coasterqueen replied: Thanks everyone. Nice to know I'm not being too bitty about it, lol. And Nichole, no she didn't even see the sacrifices I've made the last few days. She was pretty upset. BUT...it doesn't matter anyways because my boss just told me that we need to be there to eat lunch with the board so she would have had to cancel her appointment anyways. And I of course don't get to eat lunch with hubby but at least I get a better lunch than I did yesterday.

Boys r us replied: Haa!! oh well!!! I think it's high time you and her have a sit down!

A&A'smommy replied: Well I'm GLAD she had to cancel her hair app. that was rude of her not to consider your feelings!

Kaitlin'smom replied: serves her right

Emeraldsmom replied: OMG! You have a right to be mad! I can't believe the nerve of her. Especailly since you are pregnant. I def. think she should be more considerate. How rude!

kimberley replied: ugh! i agree you had every right to be mad! glad you straightened her out. enjoy your lunch today

My2Beauties replied: I'm glad she didn't get to go to her hair appt anyways and that you get a better lunch! YAY!

MommyToAshley replied: I was about to ask what your boss thinks of her taking all this time off?

How inconsiderate of her! I am glad that you at least get to eat lunch today! Sorry it wasn't with your DH though.

coasterqueen replied:
He doesn't care. He doesn't really monitor us at all. For one he's not here enough to do so and another he is pretty-easy going. He'd say "work it out between the two of you".

Oh well it worked out in my favor yesterday even though I didn't get to eat lunch with my hubby. BUT.....I get a two for one today. I got to eat out for breakfast with my hubby this morning and I get lunch with him too. Makes it even better.
