You’re doing what?June 21st, 2006 @ 6:57 am
I loved all of your comments yesterday on the horribleness of the names out there in this world. (Horribleness is totally a word. I proved this by using it in a sentence.) I’m not sure what’s worse, the names or the parents that gave their children the names.
Being back to work this week hasn’t been bad. It’s hasn’t been fabulous, but it’s been okay. Does that make sense? Since I’ll be working from home two days a week, this is my last day in the office. My last day being away from Babboo all day. All praise to my boss who is letting me try this whole working from home thing out. And all praise to all of you for showing your support to me during this week. It really has helped.
I have some free time during my days now that I’m pumping at work. Mostly there just isn’t anything to do while I’m locked in a gross shower room producing sweet, sweet tit juice for Babboo.
I have decided to use this time to catch up on my personal phone calls. Yesterday I called my parents house to talk to my Mom about my first day back at work. But she wasn’t at home, so I talked to my Dad for a bit.
When my Dad and I talk on the phone, we usually talk about computer stuff. I’m the only one in the family that even sort of knows what the heck he is ever talking about when it comes to this topic.
Dad: Blah, blah, blah, something about computers and digital cameras.
Isabel: Wow, that’s interesting. Our new camera blah, blah, blah.
Dad: It sounds like you’re sitting next to a printer.
Isabel: Oh, that’s just my breast pump. I’m pumping at work.
Dad: Well, I’d better go. Talk to you later.
And this is when he hung up faster than you can say, totally uncomfortable with this topic.
At least I wasn’t going to the bathroom, pumping, and talking on the phone all at the same time.
So, have any of you been busted for doing something inappropriate while on the phone?
They're just my family · Work

Tee-hee…I always call the Mr. when I’m pumping at work. The conversations are certainly shorter than usual. Otherwise, I do Sudoku while I’m pumping. Do you have one of those hands-free bra contraptions? I love mine.
But no, I don’t think I’ve been busted doing anything to terribly embarrassing while on the phone. Unless you count that one time that the Mr. overheard my, umm, flatulence, that I didn’t expect to be so LOUD. Oops.

I can’t think of anything that I’ve been caught doing (though I’m sure it has happened), but one time I called my YW President to ask her a question, and her voice was echoing really bad, and I could hear water sloshing around. I knew she was in the bathtub, and it is always awkward to know that the person on the other end of the phone is naked, but it got worse when I heard her husband whisper, “Hand me the shampoo,” because then I knew that she and her husband were both naked…together…in the bathtub…with me on the phone.

Ooooh! I thought of one (and now I’m becoming a comment hog). I was talking to my best friend on the phone, and I was dancing because I needed to pee. All of a sudden I sneezed which caused me to pee. I was 20 years old and I had just peed my pants. I didn’t really get “caught” per se, but I did say, “I need to go, I just peed my pants!!”

Of course. I’ve been caught peeing several times. I’ve also farted on speaker phone while talking to my in-laws. TOTALLY classy.

I haven’t been caught, but I did once talk to my husband on the phone while going to the bathroom. He was away on business and was really chatty so I couldn’t get in a word to tell him I would call him back, so I just went. He was none the wiser. I felt bad about it, but when you have to go, you have to go.

Something else you must do is read blogs while at work, cause I just got a comment from you on my blog - way to go!!
When I was pregnant I had to pee - ALOT, which I am sure you understand. I never ever hesitated to use the phone and pee, because otherwise I would have always been hanging up on people for a 5 second pee. The first few times it felt strange, but then after a while I wouldn’t even realise I was doing it, or that it might be considered strange until someone would call me on it and I’d be like “oh yes, I guess I am peeing while talking to you…oops.”

Dammit.. I wasn’t finished… it was his mom on the phone… and he actually told her what I was doing. He’s not allowed to have a phone near him anymore when we fool around.

I would give an example but I am way too distracted by your use of the phrase “sweet, sweet tit juice.”
Thank god you didn’t say that to your dad.

One time I was having sex with my current boyfriend while he was talking to someone from Comcast. It was Comcastic.

all of these are so funny, i just peed my own pants!
[[not really]]
but i, like reesh, had to be CONSTANTLY. i never thought twice about peeing whilst on the phone.
while locked in the CLOSET at work, i play tetris or scrabble on my cell phone when my immediate contacts aren’t available for phone visits.

I pee while on the phone all the time. It’s like Reesh said–if you didn’t, you’d be hanging up and calling people back in a matter of minutes all the time.
I don’t make it a point to tell everyone this, though. I always run the faucet while I go.

I pee on the phone, but only if I am VERY comfortable with the person, and I tell them before I do so that I don’t get “busted”!

Oh, I’ve been busted for using the toilet while talking on the phone plenty of times…I forget that I’m trying not to let the person on the other line know what I’ve been doing when I flush the toilet and then they say something like “was that a toilet flushing?”…doh!

One weekend in high school. I was over at my then-boyfriend’s house. He was a day student, I was a boarding student. The school new his parents were out of town, so they were calling every so often to check up on us (apparently they thought if we were capable of answering the phone, we could be up to anything, like, sex). So in the middle of sex, the phone rang. He reached up and grabbed the phone, and started telling this teacher that we were fine and just watching a movie.
I was never able to look at that teacher in the eye again.
