I don’t know how to feel about this.  Granted, they had no published codes with which to adhere.  But at the same time, who makes that line?

I have a tag-up every morning with my guys.  These guys are all much older, usually having children that are my age or older, and they give me a hard time about my pregnancy.  Often.  Which is fine.. with men, especially engineers, this is the only way they know to communicate affection.

This morning, while someone was talking, my mind wandered.  I am SO exhausted this week, more so than usual, so I’m not opposed to venturing into some daydream if it means I won’t be nodding off.  For whatever reason, my mind wandered into the pregnancy montage of Beaches, complete with Bette Midler singing “Baby Mine”.

And I started to cry.

At first, I tried to just blink away the tears, because JesusChrist, I’m sitting in a freaking meeting.  And not a meeting of 100, where no one is looking at me.. oh, no, a meeting of 7.  Where they could see these big ole elephant tears welling up in my eyes.  I had to excuse myself.

When I got back, of course, there were six pairs of worried eyes all staring at me.  And I had to explain that, sorry, I just wandered and started daydreaming about Beaches and Bette Midler and it was just so sweet.

They all nodded sympathetically.  Then we went back to talking about advanced algorithms.
