I have never in my life cried at work until today!
Well no, once I cried in the toilet but today in a meeting!
I'm still newish in a role and some new regulatory thing came up and I had to do a report.
Everyone was too busy to explain so my boss asked a colleague to meet with me at the end of the day to review.
It was literally like " Do a report about bloop for the zeek," no way for me to work out what was needed.
So I met with colleague at end of the day and she was surpised I hadn't started it yet. She wasn't being horrible but just clearly didn't realise she was meant to explain and she sort of didn't know where to begin.
I started to say, "All I need are one or two parameters..." and I welled up! I just couldn't help it. Oh my god.
Colleague was lovely and we'll look at it first thing. It was all just a comedy of errors but I'm mortified. I'm 51 years old and I've appeared before shouty judges.
