oy, had to explain to male coworker about pumping.

[jennlin]

he's in his late 40's..divorced, no kids or skids.

i work for a fairly large company, so our buildings are far apart...male coworker saw me about 7 minute walk from my desk (where one of the pumping rooms are).

mcw: what are you doing all the way out here?
me: mother's room.
mcw: ?
me: pumping room?
mcw: pump?
me: pump....pee you em pee.
mcw: ??
me: i breastfeed my daughter, so i need to pump?
mcw: ?? ??
me: i need to pump out my milk, so my daughter can eat, and so i don't have any medical conditions due to backed up milk
mcw: (shocked and awe face). you learn something new everyday.

poor guy!

When I was in the hospital returning my rental pump (big bulky hard plastic case that looks like a giant bowling bag) some poor guy on the elevator asked me what it was. "It's actually a breast pump. Aren't you glad you asked?"

We all chuckled and I'm sure his wife gave him an elbow to the side.

awkward, thankfully I have not had to go into that much detail with anyone. I just had to explain why I was in the conference room so much.

My male coworkers know something interesting is going on in my office at lunch when I crank up the tunes and lock the door, but they have never asked....thank goodness.

Lol! Poor guy.

LOL, awkward. I'm sure he was embarrassed once he finally understood.
