There's no crying at work...... or is there?
Well, I hate to write about work again, but I'm going to. Had a phone meeting today with our payroll company. We went over training for the project, what's expected when etc. The more that was laid out, the more overwhelmed I was getting. After the phone call, I was left in the office of our project manager( who is of a much higher level than I). We were talking and I could feel it happening. I am saying over and over to myself, "don't cry, don't cry, don't cry". Then the eyes filled up and it was over. The tears started flowing. He handed me kleenex. He knew immediately what was wrong. Overwhelment. He assured me we were a team and that this was not my burden alone and we would take it step by step and the more I got into things the more at ease I would become. He said all the right things. I felt stupid, yet relieved that they knew. I assured them I would not be in the corner in the fetal position crying for the next 4 months. That I would be there for them. They said they knew I would. And If I needed to cry or release stress, please do it here and not in front of your dept.
So, day one and I'm allready crying. I leave for LA for training in a week and a half and we will be off and running after that.
I gotta pull it together man.
I had to go to the Accounting Dept and eat some of their cookies after my cry. Thank gawd, those people always have food. One needs a little food after a cry.
