Today...

I saw a grown man cry. No, not kinda cry with a few tears, but cry like...break down, sobbing, hyperventilating, red face, can't control himself. All of this took place, at work. Now, I don't really like to talk about my work, but I will say this. Apparently, this guy and his manager and another employee who the crier doesn't get along with got into a big fight in their team meeting. Apparently it almost came to blows and the crier started crying and left the meeting. Well, at the time all of this was going on, I was the only one in my area that was in my area. All the other managers were in different meetings. So, this guy comes barreling my way and I'm freaking out. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with crying, but I've never experienced a grown man sobbing. It was uncomfortable. I gave him a few tissues and took him in my boss's office. I was just like "uh..hold on...it'll be ok, I'll be right back." With that, I went out to call my boss. It was just insane. This whole episode lasted pretty much all day. I had to get HR to come up to our area to talk to the guy because he was so upset that he didn't want to have to walk down the hall and have people see him crying. I work at a strict "business" type company. Suits, ties, etc etc. This kind of shit doesn't happen. It was just crazy. I later told my boss that she doesn't pay me enough to deal with this psychological kind of bullshit. IT people can be so weird. I'd thought I'd seen it all, until today. I shudder to think what else I haven't seen that people are capable of. Today sucked. I'm glad tomorrow is Friday.

Chris is going to a convention with Jason this weekend. Saturday morning I'm heading over to Eckherts to pick some apples with Nicole. Saturday evening, I think I'm going to bake an apple pie and drink a bottle (or 3) of wine. It will be a festive occasion. Picking apples & baking a pie is the perfect reason to drink. Then, on Sunday night we're going with some friends to see the "Capital Steps" at the Sheldon. Now, I've just got to figure out what to do tomorrow.
