I just stand there totally speechless and feel terrible because I haven't got a clue what to say or do. <br /><br />Perhaps your friend is right, there really isn't anything to say or do other than wait until they get it out of their system and hand them a tissue.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790236600329504315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-43627702370831002912010-09-11T14:07:06.188-07:002010-09-11T14:07:06.188-07:00I'm with Grant on this.I'm with Grant on this.AoteaWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225718709424769678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-46177917367747026902010-09-10T08:46:33.578-07:002010-09-10T08:46:33.578-07:00Grant: your fantastic practical advice should neve...Grant: your fantastic practical advice should never be ignored.<br /><br />Karl: Oh hell! Is that what my office colleagues are plotting? I'm out of here!<br /><br />PAMO: On the very rare occasions I cry, I prefer to do so alone. Of course, that doesn't always happen, and then I feel like you do. Don't give me too much attention! And now you're being sympathetic about my overtime... sob.. sob.. Tell you what, I'll keep those tissues handy!<br /><br />Raena: Although it would be awful to do such a thing to someone in real life, it sounds like a darned funny commercial. Chuck me a box of tissues, PAMO predicts it'll be my turn soon! :)Maundering muttererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10007758736758966777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-76063697800836813012010-09-10T08:13:49.215-07:002010-09-10T08:13:49.215-07:00Have you seen that Geico commercial (or do you eve...Have you seen that Geico commercial (or do you even get those? They may be an American company only)? A retired military drill sargeant posing as a therapist, listening to some whiny guy complain about his life. Calls him a namby pamby and then throws the box of tissues at him in disgust. At least he did give him a tissue! <br /><br />Well, maybe that wouldn't be very nice of you. Maybe you should just listen to some of the nicer people here! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231453420718519162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-23709022768631393852010-09-09T15:57:00.072-07:002010-09-09T15:57:00.072-07:00Gorgeous photo!

Yes- give me a tissue, maybe a quick pat on the shoulder, then leave me alone until I can compose myself. <br />I don't hold it against people who don't cry. I figure they are stronger than me. <br />Of course, if you keep working these long days, you'll be crying soon....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-41698992909448464372010-09-09T13:06:36.080-07:002010-09-09T13:06:36.080-07:00I usually feel the same way, but I guess the only ...I usually feel the same way, but I guess the only thing you can do is just be a shoulder for them to cry on. Nothing you can say can help but sometimes just being their listening is enough to keep them from shooting up their work place with a tech-9 ...great pic, your friend with the tissue advise is very wiseKarl Baklahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01988450579882340216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-25444768488855280162010-09-09T12:09:09.607-07:002010-09-09T12:09:09.607-07:00Every time someone cries in front of you, shout &q...Every time someone cries in front of you, shout "20 pieces of chicken!" and then run away. They'll eventually learn not to show emotion in your presence. If that doesn't work, escalate to pepper spray and cattle prods.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08040058320473775641noreply@blogger.com
