Tears
We had been working non-stop since 8 in the morning, we were all tense, exhausted and totally consumed, when suddenly she breaks into a fit of crying. Not the stuff you get when watching a sad movie where the hero just died, I'm talking full fledged waterworks. She sobbed silently, her face went all read and she looked like she fought for every breath she took. We all gathered round her trying to figure out what's wrong, trying to comfort her. Comments like "screw the work we will take care of it, don't cry..".
Several gasps later and after ample amounts of tissue have been used up, she looked at us through the tears and said; "Its not the work, work wouldn't make me cry, the only thing on the planet capable of making a woman cry is a guy."
She wouldn't say another word, we never figured out what was in that fatal e-mail or msn chat session. Yet it pains me the degree to which it is true. That to women, the only thing worth crying over is guys.. yet those ingrateful idiots never cease to make us cry.
