I had the worst day EVER yesterday. I got into a huge misunderstanding with one of the program directors of the art school I work at. I was trying to tell him that the student he called me about had money on account. He was quite understanding me and was making comments like “Well, dear, I don’t know where you’re getting that total from” in a very condescending tone. I was on the phone for about 15min with him not understanding me and the student sitting next to him hearing the whole thing. I got really frustrated on put him on hold. My boss was standing right there and so I asked if he could help me…..and then I started crying. CRYING!!!!!!!!!!! I felt soooooooooooo retarded. I wasn’t sad or anything, I was just frustrated. He asked me to write down what I needed to get across to the program director and he got on the phone with him. I felt like an idiot. We finally straightened things out and everything was ok.
That totally reminded me of that episode from Sex and the City “Belles of the Balls” where they talk about not crying at work.
I have NEVER cried at work *hangs head in shame*

Aww. It's okay, Ellie. That guy was a jerk-face. I'll kick him in the balls, if you want.
*hug*
I've cried at work several times.
That probably doesn't make you feel better. :/
I've cried at work too. Apparently I've also threatened people and made them afraid of me as well, let's hope you never do that.
Hope things are better today :)
I was on the phone with Dell about my computer. I really felt like crying when I was done. It could of been rage though too. Somewhere in between I think.
"Please return your hard drive to its factory setting".
"No. There's nothing wrong with it. It won't detect any hard drives. I can't even do that cause it won't read it!"

For you and only you, yes I will bark at the Hoover. Would you like me to wear a collar too? :p
