An interesting thing happened at work today. I was pushed to the point where I almost totally lost it. Someone said something that triggered me and I nearly burst into tears in front of my boss and my boss's new boss. I pulled it together as quickly as I could and left the room. I went to a secluded coffee station and calmed myself before getting back to work.
I don't think I've ever cried at work because of work before. The only time I really remember crying at work was that awful day years ago when I learned that my former supervisor had died. But then everyone was crying, so I don't think that counts.
I want to make it clear that it wasn't my boss who made me cry. He is constantly watching my back and supports me in my work. It was a combination of things that are happening at the same time. Calling this a frustrating time would be a gross understatement. I don't want to go into it too much, but let's just say that the stress level is reaching an all-time high.
In other disappointing news, Tropical Storm Karen once again fizzled out before making any serious impact. I'm not sure why I'm morbidly fascinated by a deadly natural disaster with my name on it, but I am. Guess we'll have to wait another six years to try again.
"So wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older, all this time I was finding myself and I didn't know I was lost"
