I admit it..I've cried a few times at work, although it's been a few years since the last time I did it. I'm fairly thin skinned and when I first entered the workforce, things people said to me would get to me. However, I've become a lot less sensitive about things like that, and after a "Thank GOD I don't live with that f'ing SOB!" passes my lips (out of earshot, of course), I'm fine.
The last time I really cried was when I first moved to North Carolina 6 years ago...I was 3000 miles from my previous home, I'd been separated from my hubby for 7 months, and I was at a new job...my boss jumped on my back (really, she could be a major bitch) for making a somewhat serious mistake, and I lost it. No, it wasn't professional to do so in front of customers, but I really couldn't help it, and I went to the bathroom to gather myself up. I chalked it up to a learning experience and didn't make the same mistake again after that.
