not news, but still angry-making

Dear Girls,

In case you didn't know, and you probably didn't because you were too busy worrying your pretty little head about getting married, crying at work is bad.

Damn, I'm irritable. But glad to be out of races I can't win. And dude, why's it in the _style_ section? Oh, never mind.

Uh, it's sad to admit, but during the period where D and I were broken up, I cried *constantly* at work. I moaned to my supervisors. I sniffled about the terribleness of this break, when we were so right for each other. To the point where they really suggested I spend my performance award money and go to Iceland. I must've been horrible to be around.

There were no professional repercussions, as far as I can tell. But my workplace was an exception; despite the fact that the NYT would probably consider it a "career stepping" workplace, we were all a bunch of close friends, so boundary-stepping like that seemed to be okay. Apparently everyone had a big cryfest together when Kerry lost, too, except I was out of work that day.
