Just keep swimming...

I have nothing against anybody at work, I get along fantabulously with everyone, but there is trouble brewing. I hate being caught in the middle of it. You can just tell when people aren't getting along. It's tense, snide comments are made, I'm guessing it's because we're working short staffed this week. Hopefully, the two I'm worried about will get over it and just do their job.

One thing I do need to mention, and this is one of my pet peeves.....Why in the world do coworkers feel the need to try to get personal and in depth in my life? Ok, here's what happened. Maria and I were talking - she's pregnant. Good for her. I myself don't want kids, and I've never felt the need to me a mom. She asked why I don't have kids. Weird question. I told her the truth. I don't want them. I don't hate children, but I don't want any of my own. I should have fibbed and told her I couldn't have any. Maybe it would have stopped the questioning further. Then Maria has the audacity to tell a couple of other coworkers as if that's the big news headline. "Oh My Gosh! Mary doesn't want kids!" It ended up being a huge group discussion and they decide it's because I've never been in love. What???? I didn't even argue with that. It would only open up a whole new can of worms. Let them think what they want. As long as I know the truth, that's all that matters. It is irritating though. Especially when Maria is going to be giving birth next month, but hasn't told her parents because she's scared about what they'll say. Huh? It's going to be hard to explain that bundle of joy to them. Just keep swimming....just keep swimming. I'm not at all what they want me to be, but if it's crap they want, no worries......I'll just keep spoonfeeding it to them.
