Thank you!
I'm very happy, but too shy to tell anyone in the office :((

The women will notice your ring very quickly.
The men will cotton on eventually.

I work surrounded by men
Only o couple of women in my office, and I don't have to talk with them normally.

Do you have to talk to them weirdly?
I'm imagining a high squeaky voice or a comedy accent.

Yes, I do
They make me nervous.

my male colleagues still don't know I'm engaged
and one even asked where I'd been for the past 8 months when I got back from maternity leave. And I'm not your quiet retiring sort - I talk. A lot. males = not very observant. developers = even less observant.

Yep, I think something like that will happen here too
I'm not too bother, I've been working with them for 5 years and know how bad they are.

I suspect
that when they do notice, they'll be a bit nonplussed, offer some sort of congratulations, then get on with business as usual.

It's the male way.

I suspect
When they notice, they don't know for how long it's being like that and prefer not to say anything so they don't look stupid.
