You probably have something there with the "personality thing". She's a warm, very sensitive person and I guess she just can't get a grip on her emotions sometimes. It just makes me wonder whether she will realize her goals of "going places" with this company because of this.
I, too have cried at work - once was when a beloved boss announced her resignation (she and I were alone)., and the other time was many years ago when a supervisor made cruel remarks about my clothing (I was single, living on my own and making a fraction of her salary. My clothes were clean and professional, but not the newest fashions). I didn't lose it in front of her, though.
We all get stressed at work, but I guess my philosophy is "it's only work and it's just not worth wasting all this emotional energy on". Instead of crying, I use Radar's suggestion of visualizing the nice peaceful brook and watching the bubbles rise to the surface as I hold the offender under water. Sick, but it makes me smile and keeps my emotions under control. (I silently thank you for this every time I use it, Radar!)
