Is it true that pregnant women tend to be irrationally irritated at some people? And that the baby will pick it up and automatically gain a dislike for the mother’s irritant?
In my case, I have been irritated with my supervisor since the time I got pregnant. My baby can grow up really hating her.
But then, incompetence has always been a pet peeve. Smoking while I was in my first trimester could have been the reason. Asking me to go downtown and send a package while I was bleeding could be another reason. Making me go upland for a whole day when I already told her I was pregnant could be a reason.
Bottomline, her faults translate to more work for me. So no, I don’t like her.
I should behave. I don’t think this is healthy. Nor is it fair since she is a kind and tough boss with whom I have been learning a lot from.
Still, I will be asked to stay until 1am then required to go back on a weekend the next day. I will be given a task for immediate attention on Saturday morning and for submission on Monday. From the looks of it, there is another meeting set this weekend.
No. I don’t like her again.
Again, my conscience will tell me to calm down. She is giving me my first PM job with this coming project. A project she knows I wanted. Timing couldn’t be better for me since I am up for my scholarship interview on November and this is the perfect achievement to bring up.
Sigh.
