Do you hear what I hear?

Do you hear what I hear?

Probably not�.

I am hearing the buzz of copiers collating, the humming of the printer, the traffic outside our office window and my know it all co-worker bitching to someone about her ex-husband.

This co-worker that I will furthermore refer to as �Jen� had a painful divorce. Ten years ago. I guess her husband left her for an OLDER woman. Why I don�t know. But to hear her tell it he was looking for a mother figure.

So needless to say that was not a self esteem booster for �Jen�.

She gained weight.

She became neurotic.

She became bitter.

She became neurotic and bitter.

The best way to physically describe �Jen� is that she looks like a big square with a little thumb for a head. Its like the rest of her got big but her head remained the same size.

Odd.

So she�s angry.

She got even more angry several years ago when they removed her uterus.

After that she became a loose cannon, moody and angry.

Now on good days she spouts information and tells boring ass stories about herself.

On bad days she sulks and pouts and is constantly on the verge of tears.

Poor �Jen� �

Maybe all she needs is a man!

Isn�t the love of a good man all that we women ever need?
