Me too!!! :) Although I know I shouldn't complain when @cmomma17: has it so much worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-981515 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:26:41 +0000 Smurfette 981515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: So glad that it all worked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-981498 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:22:36 +0000 Adira 981498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Yes, thanks for asking!! HR actually decided to be my go-between with the other women and she found out that the woman who has the timeslot right before my meeting is on vacation this week, so I can use it then. And THEN I got the meeting organizer to move the meeting for the upcoming weeks to a different time, so I can keep my normal pump time! So it's all been resolved! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-981491 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:20:38 +0000 Smurfette 981491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Did you get an resolution with this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978553 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:15:45 +0000 mrbee 978553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @cmomma17: ... I wouldn't worry too much about your HR person's feelings! This is all about making sure you get what you need to be effective in your job!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978487 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:58:43 +0000 Adira 978487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: haha, no, you're right, I shouldn't complain! We at least have a room!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978478 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:56:25 +0000 cmomma17 978478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: second room?! Ugh, I just want one room!!!<br /> Sorry, I know this thread isn't about me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978411 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:33:19 +0000 Adira 978411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Yeah, true. It'll be so much better once we have our second room built, but we're not expected to have it for a few more months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978406 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:31:44 +0000 cmomma17 978406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Try not to feel bad (I know it's hard). She's just doing her job and she won't be hurt if the meeting time changes and you don't need the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978402 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:30:25 +0000 Adira 978402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I definitely want to do that, but now I'm nervous about asking because the HR lady is trying to find me a room and I'll feel bad if she goes through all this work only for the meeting time to change... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978360 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:20:00 +0000 cmomma17 978360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I'd reach out to the meeting organizer. Tell them you have a standing commitment at that time and can only come to half of the meeting but you'd really love to be a part of this meeting long term and is there any chance the time could be adjusted? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978356 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 13:19:07 +0000 Adira 978356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: That's true! I'll definitely leave a note in the Mom's Room and see if anyone responds! The only thing is, I won't see the answer's until my session tomorrow morning, and I'm not sure if it'll be enough time to coordinate a switch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978216 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:45:12 +0000 mrbee 978216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: as a parent myself, I would jump at a chance to help out a fellow parent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978111 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:17:40 +0000 Adira 978111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Pumping in my car COULD be an option, except our parking lot is ridiculously long, so it would take me an extra 15 minutes during the day since it's a long walk to my car and back! As far as a co-worker's office, unfortunately, all my co-workers that HAVE offices are men, so I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable asking them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978102 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:16:26 +0000 Adira 978102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Yeah, I'm not sure! And I'm not sure when to ask now that HR is looking for a room for me. I'd hate to ask them to move it only to have HR come back with a room and the meeting didn't need to move. But I'd also hate to not say anything and then HR doesn't find me a room and I end up missing half of the meeting! I'm not sure what to do! Though the meeting organizer can see that I'm busy during 30 minutes of the meeting, so I would think that if he could have moved it to a different time, he would have...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978098 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:15:15 +0000 HabesBabe 978098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is there a way you could pump in your car or ask to use a co-worker's office to pump during your usual time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978097 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:15:09 +0000 Adira 978097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NeekieRose: You would think so, but she didn't suggest it, so maybe not? I'm not sure - I didn't think to ask.</p> <p>@cmomma17: Thanks! I may just end up going to half the meeting, though that will suck. :( Or maybe the meeting could move to accommodate me, I don't know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978094 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:14:38 +0000 sunny 978094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For this week could you ask the meeting organizer to reschedule? You could just say you have a conflict. Or can they reschedule it to another time on a permanent basis? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978092 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:13:02 +0000 cmomma17 978092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I'm sorry. :( I feel like I'm missing work opportunities all the time because of pumping and nursing at lunch :(<br /> Hope you get it figured out soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978089 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:11:41 +0000 NeekieRose 978089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Or can HR at least be an intermediary and ask the other mom(s) if they can switch with you? That way they aren't giving you the names... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978088 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:11:06 +0000 Adira 978088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dojo: For seriously!</p> <p>@mrbee: Yeah, I could definitely try that. Just not sure I'll get any bites before the meeting tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978087 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:10:49 +0000 Smurfette 978087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like @mrbee: idea. I am sure someone would switch with you if it is 30 mins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978081 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:09:32 +0000 mrbee 978081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: could you possibly leave a note in the mom's room with a personal email address, and ask anyone else using the room to drop you an email so you could coordinate in the future? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978064 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 12:03:59 +0000 dojo 978064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's annoying that they can't tell you who else is using it so you can try to switch - hopefully they can find you a room to use during the time you need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978047 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:58:43 +0000 Adira 978047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: Yeah, I asked, and no, they can't give me the names of the other women in the room. :( Otherwise I could totally just try to switch with someone! Ugh, so frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978024 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:51:04 +0000 BlueWolverine 978024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will they tell you who's in the time you need? Or can they contact that person and see if they can switch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gahh-moms-room-booked-and-meeting-scheduled-during-my-time#post-978014 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 11:48:43 +0000 Adira 978014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just got a meeting invite for a recurring meeting every Thursday that's during one of my pumping times! I feel like it's an important meeting that I should attend and, given the option, I'd just pump right before or right after the meeting. But our Mom's Room is BOOKED. There only time available is 2 hours earlier than when I normally pump! And if I pumped then, I'd have to go almost 5 hours between then and when I nurse Xander after work!</p> <p>Gahhhhh!!!!</p> <p>I called HR and basically said "WTF am I supposed to do? Just skip this important meeting??" Now she's trying to find me an office that I can use temporarily, but good luck with that! She has to find one before tomorrow afternoon! </p>
