No idea, never been pregnant, but I never heard of a crème egg mcflurry.
Hurrah the UK has a crap delicious food the USA doesn't for once!0 -
Easter work gifts aren't common. Even buying for 20 people is not common. It is nice, but she could have been a bit more thoughtful. That would like buying me a slab of meat. Yeah. Thanks (turns to person next to me and hands gift away).
Oh, every manager who works for my executive director buys every employee a gift for Valentine's, Easter, Christmas and our birthdays. They buy snacks for New Year's, St. Patrick's, Cinco de Mayo, etc. It's ridiculously expensive.
Today they hid eggs with candy in each person's cubicle and more with gift cards in various spots around the department.
ETA: I am sure that my manager bought a huge bag of candy and didn't consider that some chocolate isn't GF. I told you it was irrational offense. She did apologize today for giving it to me before Monday.0 -

That completely doesn't happen in my company. Or in any company I've ever worked for.0 -

You would have to meet my executive director. She is interesting. And if you aren't willing to play the game her way, she won't promote you to manager. I don't want to give every person the same gift or go broke buying them so I haven't applied for a manager job. We have 75 or 76 people in her department. No lie, there only 3 men and 1 of them worked there before she came. The other two are "affirmative action hires." I really think HR told her she had to hire in more more men because she has a rep for running a Girls Club. The gifts may or may not have started out as compensation for the mean things she does on not holidays.0 -

Reese's eggs. Starburst jelly beans. Cadbury mini-eggs. SO. MUCH. YUM.
Better than Christmas. The only Christmas candy I have to have is Candy Cane Hershey kisses.
I always love the Cadbury Mini Eggs, the Cadbury Cream filled Eggs, & the Peeps with the fudge on the bottom.
The Coldstone Cremeary eggs now the Birthday Cake flavor was amazing, but I haven't found them the past few years.
I think the hardest for me is Christmas since there's White Fudge Oreos, the Angie's Drizzled popcorn, Gingerbread flavored things, & Peppermint.0 -

She sounds like a character (not necessarily a good one)0 -

It is when they are liberal with the sauce. Sometimes you get one with barely anything because they have run out. Then you wonder if you can take calories away from the total because you've been done over0 -
OMG I miss those already.
Yeah, me too. le sigh2 -
I didn't even know some chocolate was or wasn't gf so I could forgive your manager for not knowing that.0

So I decided to start a blog on my mental health etc - if anyone is interested in reading along PM me and I'll send you then link2

Can you send it to me @MissKalhan? Emergency Mental health hasn't been returning my calls for a week because "busy" (the irony of an emergency system being too busy for its intended purpose is not lost on me), my husband's work program said it will be several days before someone can even call me back. I have a lot of mental health feels today...would love to read yours0

Things have been busy at home and I don't get on the computer much at night right now. I am still reading along. We have an audiology appointment for the hubs. Hopefully we can get a handle on the hearing and balance situation with this.0

Still in trial, but the case went to the jury last night. So, now we're just waiting for their deliberations and the verdict. Send "guilty" thoughts, everybody!!!2

The whole story is long and complicated, but it was a stolen $31K, in short.0 -

Bummer on not guilty. All that time you spent on it too. This must be a frustrating job sometimes.0
