at work Embarresment

Embarrasing is an understatement. I have always experienced heavy cycles. I too had an experience at work. Fortunately no one saw me, because I think favor was on my side. But I was 2 days into my cycle and I thought I had everything under control as I dressed myself for work and prepared for a day that I would not forget ever. I was probably sitting at my computer for about 30 minutes and had to get up and go to the kitchen where the printer/copier is located. Its also the place where everyone gather (mostly male office) to drink coffee and discuss company politics and gossip. (busy area).

I dressed in a really cute red and white flowered skirt specifically for my husband who was coming in from overseas and I had not seen in 3 months. (timing was all but wrong that day).

I walked into the copier room to gather some items off the printer and fax some documents. And there it was...the big gush...The clot was so huge...I looked on the floor and there were splash marks and puddles. The only thing i could think of was to grab my skirt really quick and let the blood soak through my skirt to keep from more from draining. My heart fell to the floor as i grabbed a pile of paper towels and fell to the floor to clean as best and clean as i could before any someone came in. I also had time to take more paper towels and wet them quickly to clean again. I grabbed a trash bag to place the unclean paper in it. Just as i finished hiding my disaster, two males walked in and started talking to me and i know they thought something was wrong with me when i didnt respond to them as my normal usual self. I left work quickly, went home and washed and dried my skirt and went to meet my husband at the airport. I had to call someone and tell them what happened, so i called my sister.
