Better today

Apr 05, 2007 13:57

Had a mini breakdown at work yesterday. This entire spreadsheet that I had been working on uploading into the system didn't save. More than half the taxpayers' entries just did not import. All that work--fucking gone. What do you do when you try to save your work, and it says it saved, only to find out later that your computer system is a fucking LYING LIAR WHO LIES?!!?

That was it, people. My sanity--which is questionable on the best of days--had officially left the building. I literally burst into tears. I was already stressed and feeling particularly homicidal towards several people who shall remain nameless. And...I guess I just flipped. I wasn't just shedding a few tears you know. It was full on sobbing.

I am so ashamed now. I'm not a person who cries often, and when I do, I like for it to be behind closed doors or at least a place where others cannot see me. Not for my boss to walk in and I burst into this complete and utter crying mess.

Ugh.

I'm okay today, but they probably think I'm a nutcase. But my other boss burst into tears yesterday too, so I guess it's going around or something.

*eyes desk calendar to see what day the April 17th deadline falls on*

work, breakdown
