Waterworks keep the plants watered and the grass green, but it makes a puddle of mud on your desk and makes your makeup run.
I think I've cried 3 times in my working enviroment. First was the Oklahoma City bombing. I worked in a courthouse, and within hours of the building in OK exploding, our Sheriff's Dept found an unmanned Uhaul in front of my office window. Scared the you-know-what out of me. Second time was when my jerk-of-all-time-boss hired someone before my notice was up and let me go several weeks early. I was a single mom, didn't have a new job lined up to start.... and was mortified. I was angry, hurt and TICKED off... and came out in tears. Third time was recently. I was 9 months pregnant and an emotional wreck. Hubby was in a bad spot at his job, complained constantly... and he couldn't do a darn thing about it because I was going on a 6 week leave we already couldn't afford. Hubby calls me, asks how my day is. Then, says "Do you think Bossie will let me do your job while you are out?" I laughed, asked him why he'd want my job... and he said "because I just got fired." He was totally joking... and any other day I would have known he was kidding. But I fell apart. Eeks!
