Old Eggs

Yes, it is about what you think..

Speaking of inappropriate behavior at work -

The most inappropriate thing anyone has ever said to me at work has got to be this:

I was having a conversation with a colleague who regularly peppered me with questions about why I didn't pursue law school after majoring in English "because that's what English majors do".  And I regularly explained that I wasn't interested in law school and that there are lots of other things for English majors to do - like work.   Clearly I was able to wrangle myself a job, so it's not like law school is the only option.  And I actually got the impression he would have felt more comfortable with me if I was in school instead of in a career, perhaps because I am a woman but more likely because I have only an English degree and therefore must need more education. 

Surprisngly, that was just a lead-in and not the actual story.

What was inappopriate was when my colleague informed me that I was getting old and, therefore, so were my eggs and if I was planning on having kids I better do it soon.

I almost don't even need to say anything more, right?
