I knew it would happen. Ya know the day in your lawyer life when you, eek, miss a deadline. I thought it had come yesterday. There I was working away on the things left for me to get done after my mini vacay. Tweedle de de.... ho hum,, and then BAM! What? They served that? When? How? How many days? What did the Order say? Its already reset? What?
These thoughts swarmed my lil head. I was so confused and panicked and well I may have had a mini heart attack right there in my office. yeah, total false alarm. I mean I plan, calendar and make a million and one post its, how could I forget?
But, I digress (yeah you totally thought this was going to be planner, lawyer thing huh?) See, it was my reaction. I'm a crier. Things go wrong? cry. Mad? cry. Sad? cry. Boss yells at you? cry. Think you have missed a deadline? cry.
Yup, people, the tears swell up and I lose it. I want to just crawl into a hole and bawl. Productive? Yeah right. It has been a goal of mine to work on keeping it together.
Yup, grown woman here who just sometimes losses it. I'm not quite sure where this came from and when it developed, but somewhere between confidant teen and lawyer I lost control of my ability to see when tears are needed.
So, should you walk by me on the way to the bathroom while dressed in suit and heels, don't worry Ill get it together.
And... Happy Birthday to my BOFF!!!
I'm a crier too. Especially when I'm angry, which in turn makes me angrier. It's a vicious cycle. I'm trying to change it ... but it is HARD!
ReplyDeleteI'm a crier too lady, just let it out. I'm glad it's all good in the hood!
ReplyDeleteThanks sweet BOFF! xoxo
That is never fun - but you just have to let it out!!! It happens to the best of us!!
ReplyDeleteI am a crier too... I hate it, especially in a workplace primarily dominated by men, you are almost expected to be strong 100% of the time. Every once in a while, you just need a good cry though... and sometimes, for me, the tears just slip out, I can't help it. (Even though it is one thing I wish I could change about myself).
ReplyDeleteI'm a total crier...like when you're on your honeymoon and your bags don't arrive with you. Cry! (Luckily they come in today)
ReplyDeleteSometimes all you need is a good cry to get it out and feel better
Ugh I know how you feel.. not sure why I'm struggling with meeting deadlines lately but I am! <3
ReplyDeleteI hate it, but I'm a crier too. You're in good company! Hope things go more smoothly for you today - no more mini heart attacks missy!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first year I cried, now I am on team Rule 11, motion to reinstate and motion for new trial when I screw things up. The only times I have cried lately is when I get reprimanded in court with other attorneys watching lol I figure that eventually the tears will dry up.... Or atleast I hope they will :)
ReplyDeleteI have emotional seasons it seems. I can go through times and i dont cry at all and then i find myself crying everyday any where car, desk, kitchen ( a lot in the kitchen). Just always make sure you have a makeup bag handy to touch up.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big crier but I have missed a deadline before.... and you best believe I bawled in my office. Like a baby!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Hey, it happens. I cried at the doctor yesterday, so don't feel bad. I wasn't in pain, I knew that we were going to get it resolved, but I cry when I have anxiety and hospitals give me anxiety, then add feeling alone to the mix... We all need to cry it out sometimes!
