I would appreciate some advice though not sure if anyone can give it?
I work with a girl, 23, who is leaving on Friday, short contract up, happy to move on. She has been on A/L for 2 weeks, came back this week and is not herself. I have never seen her like it, very unsettled, pale, strange, physically and emotionally under the weather. I have worked with her for 6 months and she is always the same, no fluctuations in mood, usually very upbeat, good fun. Today she has been saying she can't bear the smell of cigarette smoke - walking back from lunch with colleagues (she didn't fancy any of the food) she had to skip along to avoid the smell of the smoke - but we were outside! She is, was, a smoker but has stopped, she says because she forgets - she volunteered this information 3 times today. She would say if she is trying to give up, would make a big fuss about it. She has also refused tea and coffee all week.
You know what I'm going to say - I wonder if she is pregnant. She doesn't have a serious boyfriend and talks a lot about various boys she's met, running commentary. She lives to party, is totally into her social life. I am the closest to her in the office and a similar age to her parents.
I wonder if she knows and is dropping obvious hints that she wants me to pick up? If she knows, it could be why she is unsettled and upset. Or she could not know? She can be quite dippy and it wouldn't surprise me if she didn't realise. She is leaving on Friday. Should I say something?
