Thanks to those of you who suggested Whiny Wednesday topics. If there’s something we haven’t covered yet, feel free to drop me a line.

My colleague just asked me if I would still be working here in 6 months from now…wink wink…. trying to ascertain if I’m pregnant. She keeps dropping not-so-subtle hints that I might be pregnant. NEWS FLASH: NOT
