Gone, but not forgotten
It's always nice to be remembered by former co-workers isn't it? You share so many good times and inside jokes and drunken parties, it's nice to look back on those times with nostalgia and fondness.
Remember last year, when I had to fly to New York for business and there was a whole debacle about a co-worker taking my room and I was breastfeeding and there was a fridge in the stolen room and I was totally pissed? You can refresh your memories right here with the Dec. 11, 2006 post.
So apparently, that same co-worker remembered that little mixup with the rooms as well. And then felt the need to be all "haha aren't I clever and cute" about it in an e-mail to several of my former co-workers.
Tsk, tsk. Like I don't know all and see all. I am mother for chrissakes, I have eyes in the back of my head. Ask my kid, I know everything. In fact, here's a copy of the email she sent out -- handy that I have it right here isn't it?

I’d like a room with a small refrigerator for my breast milk – oh wait Amy’s not here anymore – I mean my vodka.
Thanks,
Natalie

It's always nice to see other women being so SUPPORTIVE of working mothers isn't it? And I really think it's great when other women are so SUPPORTIVE of breastfeeding.
Perhaps someone needs to send Natalie some information from La Leche League about the benefits of breastfeeding and the proper milk storage procedures. I don't think there's anything in the literature about storing it with vodka, but I may not have read it closely enough.
(Editor's note: Upon further review and two years time, I have chilled out on this issue. Not the fact that former co-worker was a total tool for her e-mail, but in that you don't use your blog as a platform for bullying people. I have edited this post on 9/4/09 to remove Natalie's email and last name. I like to think of it as maturing. Just wanted to add an editor's note in case this published to my RSS feed and people were all "why the hell am I getting a post from Dec. 2007?")

I love that you left her email address in! I wish I could see her inbox in a couple of days! ;)
Gosh, sounds like kind of an innocent, teasing comment. Overreact much?
It's definitely an obnoxious email.No question about it. I'm sorry you had to deal with it. And pregnant, too. You don't need additional stress!
What a bitch. I hate that sort of cavalier attitude about working moms (said the stay at home mom). My guess is that she's a sad, lonely woman, probably approaching the age where it's more likely to be killed by a terrorist than ever get married.
If you know anyone else going to the conference (or whatever it is), you should really have them put a avent bottle (or one of those storage bags) of whole milk in her fridge when she's not there. Sign it, "Love, Amy's boobs!"
I hate her for you.
And, oh, anonymous?! Get bent.
That is absurd. How completely obnoxious. That is so unfortunate that rather than being supportive of a fellow working woman, she has to be so callous and bitchy. You should be so glad to be out of that environment. I really hope that some day she has kids and maybe will learn to be sympathetic, otherwise my friends at LLL can dive bomb her NY office with bags of expired breast milk!
Course, the part that made me laugh was the fact that you have a tag for "annoying people." You crack me up!
Don't worry, karma always catches up...
