Cry Baby
I cried at work, I don't know what happened. The last time I cried at work was when I was laid off and was saying goodbye to my co-workers. Other than that, I have cried after work plenty of times at home but not at work. I was having an exceptionally bad day and this nasty woman just set me off, luckily she is not in my office but instead ripped me a new one over the phone. I didn't tear up until I got off the phone. I tried to go to the bathroom and get myself together, but it didn't work. I chocked up in front of two people then left for an early lunch, and had a melt down in my car. It has been bothering me all weekend. I am pissed at myself that this woman who is just nasty, mean and crazy, and not anyone I have any respect for was able to get to me. Lawyers aren't supposed to cry and I feel personally responsible to all woman, not to play into stereotypes about "emotional females". I searched "DO WOMEN LAWYERS CRY" and came up with a couple of things that made me feel better:
Ms. JD
Presumed Equal
Anyone else have any embarrassing crying moments at work?
I've cried a few times for various reasons, but the one that always bugged me is when I worked for this psycho beyotch. She called me into her office one day and just berated me. I'd only been there for two weeks, I had been working so hard, and trying my absolute best to do everything right, and she was just so mean to me, and so purposefully hurtful, that all I could do is go back to my desk and cry. In retrospect, I should have given her the finger, told her exactly what a sad excuse for a human being she was, and left to wait tables until I found another job. But I'm the person that gets so angry that my only outlet is crying if it isn't a situation where I can rip the person's face off.

thanks for sharing! It's such a wierd taboo thing, strong woman aren't supposed to cry over such things... but controling it, is easier said than done.

Not totally work related but I was in my first semester of law school and feeling extremely stressed over juggling everything. I started to cry in the hallway not knowing they were trying to get me in the conf. room for a surprise bridal shower. I went in and cried even harder in front of all of them when I saw the party. I just recently left that job to start my first attorney job later this month and I cried at my goodbye luncheon as well but they weren't too surprised. Oh well I'm only human.
