I've put this off all week, but now I'll confess that after 11 years in this office I recently cried--and the worst part was that it was in front of my boss.  He has a sarcastic manner, but always says he's just kidding.  He left me a scathing voicemail in a very serious (not kidding!) tone of voice.  Later when he saw me he asked me if I'd gotten the voicemail, and I broke down and cried (and it was not just a few tears--it was full-blown sobs--not a pretty sight!).  I've been very frustrated and hurt before because of his sarcasm, but I'd never cried in front of him and what upset me most was not what he said, but that he saw me cry!  He ended up apologizing and insisting that he was kidding.  I think my crying was a culmination of putting up with his cutting sarcasm for so many years.
