The Mother's Room

Have you heard of these?  Some work places have special rooms for mom's to go and have some privacy when they are pumping milk. 

A few months ago, right before my first injectables cycle I had nowhere to put my needle, so I went on a search for a sharps container.  The buidling I work in has around 400 employees and I just assumed there would be a sharps container somewhere....nope.  So, my next stop was the environmental health and safety guy, he had some sharps containers.  He kept giving me problems about it, asking me if I had one at home.  I told him that I do, then he asks why I can't just bring my needles home.  WTH???  Yes, I want to carry needles in my purse into a house where there is a child and other children that visit.  Yes, I can carry around a big and red container with a bunch of needles in it...what a moron.  He asked why I need them, I didn't give him the whole sob story but he got the point.  So after asking if the company is required to put out a sharps container if someone needs one, he agreed to put one out .  All he said was every time that I need to use it that I need to check out key #19 from the security guards.

Key #19 is for the mother's room.  People don't get it.  It was a slap in the face.  There was a breast pump hanging out every single time I had to inject myself a few months ago.  Now?  The gal must not be breastfeeding anymore because the breast pump is gone.  Score.
