I don't know why I make people cry.
Lately, when people talk to me, they cry. I have this ability to open the floodgates it seems. Maybe I scare the shit outta them =))
When I counsel my officers on their poor work performance, they cry. When they tell me about their family problems, they cry. When they call me up to tell me a family member or Significant Other has got into an accident or into some kind of trouble and they themselves can't report to work, they cry. When I lose my temper and scold them, they cry. When they come to me to appeal for lighter duties, they cry. And mind you, some are grown men 10 years my senior.
I need Tear-Management Training!
Why ah? I look like a sucker for tears izzit? My office run out of tissue paper liao. Serious! Just today I had to handle 2 crybabies. They had to make do with the back of their hands =))
Sometimes when I listen to them, I myself feel like crying. But its tears of frustration lah =)) I have since learnt how to sieve out the crocodile tear-ers. And I tell you, mostly its the women! Taiwanese drama material.
K says that i'm quite the crybaby too. But only sometimes. Ssshhh, that's our little secret ;) Perhaps its retribution?
