Think Before You Speak

There is a girl I work with who is not quite 20 years old. She files paperwork for me and she also does a couple of other things in the office. I love the girl to death, she is a very good kid and I can almost look at her like a little sister, that is how well we get along. She works 2 part time jobs and goes to college, so I have to give it to her there. The problem is she just doesn't know about TMI (to much information)!

Yesterday she comes in and she looks miserable. Of course, I asked what the problem was. She starts talking to me about her time of the month and how bad she is PMSing and the cramps and the bloating..bla, bla, bla. So as I try to diffuse the conversation the complaining continues. Now most woman can feel her pain, we have all been there and we all have our own ways to deal.

Then she asks me "Annmarie, what do you for PMS relief ?"

Now I am no prude, but there are people around and there is a time and a place for a question like that!! What to say to a question like that, especially when there are people hanging around!?! So now I feel like I am on display and I want die, all I could think was, if I smack you in the head as hard as I can you will now be focused on your headache and that is something I can help you with!
