I am so damn nosey.
My office neighbor came in really late and people keep coming by and expressing some kind of condolence and chatting about how hard life is. But it can't be anything too tragic because she's here. I am so curious what happened but don't want to outright ask her because I don't want her to have to explain something terrible all over again.
She is one of my favorite coworkers and I'd like to tell her "I'm sorry" or whatever as appropriate, but I also don't want to pry or look gossipy by asking someone else. Hmmmm. Damn my innate nosiness!
Re: I am so damn nosey.
Maybe a simple, "Hey, is everything ok?" may be a segway for her to tell you what happened while at the same time allowing you to give your condolences or such.
::whispers:: I'm nosey too!!
I'm so nosey that I don't even know the girl and I want to know what's going on.
Ditto pp on how to address the situation.
Um...yeah. Me too. I'd totally ask someone else who had been by her cube what's up.
Yeah, you could stop in and say "I can't help but hear people stopping in to offer condolences. Is everything ok?"
Then immediately report back to us.
I still haven't actually *seen* her yet. Every time I pop my head by my office, she's not there.
But I did corner another coworker (expressing my pry vs. condole conundrum) and he filled me in. Her MIL died, which is obviously quite sad, but also extra difficult because this coworker was supposed to present at a conference in London next week, so her travel plans are kind of up in the air.
It may be nosey, but it's also concern.
I'm the same way, except I use the Pittsburghese term of "nebby." DH says I'm a nebsh!t.
