You know what I don't like? Talking about my personal life at work. People are always asking me about the wedding, new plans and crap. There aren't any new plans! Stop asking me! Blah!!!!

I suppose I'm a little touchy about this, but I don't like having to pour out my wedding (or lack of wedding) planning every time some stranger or semi-stranger walks in the door. It doesn't help that my co-workers mention it every chance they get. Maybe they don't have anything more interesting to talk about. (Actually they do, but I think they like putting me on the spot, which I really don't appreciate. If any of them happen to be reading this now, please don't ask me about my wedding anymore. If I have something new to talk about, I'll let you know.)

I hate having to repeat myself, and I hate it even more when I have to repeat myself to several different people in a week.

I don't mind telling my friends about my wedding plans. That's different. My friends are my friends and since I don't get to see a lot of them often, I like sharing what (if anything) is new in my life. However, to be constantly asked over and over again about something which I have made clear that I won't be doing anything about for a while is tiring. Plus, I like my privacy and I like being discreet when in a professional setting. (My personal life is personal, you know?)

It's just something that has irked me lately. Blah. Now that I've ranted a little, I feel better. :-)

Just get a shirt that says, "We're Eloping." Then wear it to work... EVERY DAY.

I can empathize with having to tell people the same things over and over and over again. I just say, "well, 2006 is a while coming."

Usually, the inquiries stop. If not, I hit them with a shovel.
