"Dear Office Neighbor:
I know your 4 month old baby is super cute. And, I know that you can hardly stand to leave her at home. I know that you can't understand why I wouldn't want to hear her crying while I work on my spreadsheets. But, is it really necessary for you to bring her to work? Considering the fact that we don't work in a day care, school, maternity ward, social services agency, retail store, etc. I should think that my office would be the ONE PLACE in the world where babies don't make a regular occurance.
So, office neighbor, mind the infertiles among us and leave the baby at home.
Sincerely,
A"

Wow, I don't know what to say about this... It's OK to bring a baby into work? What the hell is she thinking?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you have to go through this. Hang in there!

Infertile or not, I'd be ticked if someone brought there baby in. Hello? We need to get work done.
ReplyDeleteEvery once in a while we'll have someone bring a kid in when there's no school and that's distracting and messed up enough. But a baby? Seriously. Sorry you have to deal with that.

Here from ICLW. I'm in Illinois, too, and can't wait to find out more about your journey.
ReplyDeleteWow that would be really difficult to deal with. Could you slip an anonymous note under the door? Kidding.

ugh! I love babies as much as the next person, but work should be a totally baby-free zone! Sorry you had to deal with it
