A bit pissed off

[McSnail]

I work in a school. I've had a few days off here and there during pregnancy (I'm seven months) for various reasons, none of them un-justified.

Anyway - came in today after being absent yesterday (horrible stomach pains - called midwife who suggested stretching ligaments. I could barely stand up straight, it was so uncomfortable) and said 'hello' to business manager (he deals with absences)who proceeded to ask me how long 'these aches and pains' lasted for. It was on the tip of my tongue to say 'when the baby comes shooting out from between my legs'. He then went on to say he couldn't remember his wife having so many ailments during her pregnancy.
All said with a smile, but maybe my sense of guilt has warped into paranoia, and I was convinced he was having a veiled 'go'.

He's put me in such a bad mood, and I'm now worried that he thinks I'm some sort of skiving shirker.

God I would have been furious, absolutely bloody furious, I can't tell you. How DARE he?

Oh, good. I'm glad someone else is angry! First time pregnancy and was feeling guilty at being off. You know, I actually felt guilty and my face went red as I was talking to him. Like I was making up excuses or something.
Now I wish I'd been a lot blunter with him.

Oh my god, I think I would have slapped him. I too would be in a foul mood. My boss was very unsympathetic until I turned up at work on my crutches because I have SPD and sacroiliac joint pain, just because you can't visibly see anything wrong doesn't mean there isn't, does it? Try not to let him bother you, I know it's easier said than done.

Thanks folks. Have to go now as have a class. Thanks for replying - made me feel better.
