That should have been the warning shot.
My beloved co worker just recently found out that she is very newly pregnant (small miracles DO happen!) and our well meaning co workers decided to shower her with diapers and such. She was overwhelmed, and while thankful, a little peeved. (I can't say I blame her when she is still near puking in the trash can all day.) Plus, I forgot the hormonal roller coaster too that goes along with being pregnant....riding that with her for the next 7 months could very well kill us both.
Plus, what with my one thigh getting cold and screaming and waving wildly at everyone all day I was totally off kilter. Had BOTH thighs been exposed and screaming it would have been okay. I could have totally acted like NOTHING was wrong, but in this case what do you do?
Staple the seam together and pray that you don't stab yourself with a staple and get Botulism? (I am all for Botox, just not in my thighs.) Tape them with scotch tape? I couldn't glue them as Nana Tantrum had suggested, since we only have glue sticks at work and those aren't very reliable.
Tomorrow I think I will go in with some snacks...kind of like puppy treats but for pregnant vegetarian ladies, high in protein and Prozac...heck those would be good for any lady! And take a couple flasks with me. Or just duct tape my mouth shut and pray to God that I don't get any important phone calls.

One time, when I was a kid, my mom paid me fix a hem on a skirt that she had stapled after it came apart while at work. I remember thinking she was a genius for the staple idea.
Ha. Awesome story, makes my day look better by comparison.
