pumping at work: get a door sign

if you are lucky enough to have your own office (with a door!) and can comfortably pump in your room, get yourself a door sign. i used one with darth veder on it that said something like "keep out!" i would just hang it on my door when i was pumping, and everybody knew not to come in or even knock. if you work with a lot of women, you can use some kind of pink sign with cute babies or bottles or something similar that says something like, "mommy duties in progress." but if you work with a lot of guys (like i do), something more in line with darth veder will make them less squeamish. and, don't worry, you don't need to make an office-wide announcement of what the sign means. as long as your boss/supervisor knows, everybody else will slowly figure it out.
