Yeah, that just happened

Conversation just minutes ago between me and our janitor:

Me: Hi, I need you to come clean. I spilled something in the office.

Her: Coffee?

Me: um, breastmilk?

Can I go home?

Re: Yeah, that just happened

  • maybe because we don't have a "janitor" and tools are readily accessable to us, but I can't imagine calling someone in to clean up breastmilk!

  • I forgot the lids to my bottles today. I'm going to try to rig something up with plastic wrap and rubber bands to get it all home.

  • Oh snap!  Tasty just called you a lazy overprivileged snob!

  • All I have at my disposal was a burp rag, which I used to mop it (it was 5 ounces), paper towels and hand soap dispensors connected to the wall. We have a bug problem in our building and that is soaked into the carpet. it needed to be steam cleaned.
  • Sad!  I'd be bummed to have lost the 5 oz, that stuff don't come easy.  Sorry, Winged.

  • I think I would have just said milk.  Technically, all milk is breastmilk.  Except soy and rice milk.  Unless soybeans have hoobers.

  • Does breastmilk smell when spoiled like cow's milk?  I'd be ALLLLL about getting it steam cleaned.

    Oh dear god, yes. It's rancid. It also smells really bad if it dribbles in between neck rolls. Not that I would know about that. Not at all.

  • yes, it does stink.

    And I would have said milk, but we are not allowed to having anything but water or coffee in our offices, so I didn't know what to do.

  • Your co-workers thank you.

    It smells like nasty feet. How is that?

    Everything in the rolls smell like feet.  Ewww.

    And, granted I didn't make it very far into BFing, but I would have cried at the loss of 5 oz.  I never was able to pump more than 2 oz at one time.

  • 5oz on the floor would make me cry my own tears.

  • Neck cheese (or armpit and crease cheese as Maggie would get, she got milk everywhere!) is the worst smell. Yet I insist on smelling it to be certain it smells. How Mary Catherine Gallagher of me.
