every day's a new dumb adventure

dramz, or almost breaking the cardinal work rule.


rule number one, don't cry at work (especially if it's work related, but keep tears away even if it's not work related). rule number two, don't break rule number one.

there are some other personal work rules after that one, but this one my number one. crying at work is for suckers. don't cry at work. it's not very becoming and it makes you look weak. (there are a few exceptions, say a death of a loved one, but they are rare cases).

outside of work, cry all you want. i don't care. bawl in your beer or your cereal. i do. we all do. those that don't are heartless. people who say they never cry weird me out. that's not human.

i feel pretty strongly about these things. go ahead and cry in public, just not at work, or right outside of work either. the workplace is weird. it's best to leave your tears on the commute.

so as you can imagine, it sort of took me by surprise when i nearly lost it today. eyes closed deep breath practically meditating internal cursing and mentally throwing things at a wall was all i could to do control it.

is everyone's family so full of dramz?

Remember what Tolstoy said on the subject: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

You are special. Hearts.

The only times I've cried at work is when I'm holding back the urge to murder someone. I figure crying is better than killing.

Wish I was there to cheer you up, or at least bring you Fiona's to cheer you up. I would make a sad face here but I know how much you hate those and it might make you feel even worse.
