Torrefaction

So I arrived in the office this morning to discover that it's "take your kids to work day."  ARG!  I love kids, yadda yadda, but I wasn't in the mood for a whole passel of them running, playing, yelling, etc in my actual work area all day.  Particularly because a lot of my job requires attention to detail. And because I'm still getting used to being INFERTILE.  I spent a lot of time today typing the same crap over and over because I kept screwing up.

I could have put on my headphones or asked the parents on the team to set the kids up somewhere other than our communal table, but I actually do love kids and I don't want to be Cranky Infertile Woman, so I made nice and just stayed late to get my work done after the kids were gone.

So...in the midst of the pandemonium, one of the dads says to me & another co-worker who's still young & single, "This is the world's greatest birth control, right here, huh?  After this you'll never want to have kids, huh?  I'm telling you, world's greatest birth control."

This guy knows my situation - his sister's also adopting from China.  So I sucked it up and gave a wan smile and said "uh-huh" but what I wanted to say is "Actually, you FUCKING MORON, being IN-FUCKING-FERTILE is the world's greatest fucking birth control! YOU FUCKING MORON!!!!!"

But, I didn't.  Let's hear it for take your fucking kids to fucking work day.
