I Cried at Work Today
Let me preface this story by saying that if they voted for “least likely to show emotion at work”, I would win hands down.
And in all my working life I’ve only cried once. Actually cried for about 4 hours when my brother immigrated to Australia.
At other times I’ve been able to compose myself enough wait for privacy to shed a tear or two.
Today though my colleague and I were discussing permaculture and gardening.
She lives on a smallholding and farms chickens for personal use.
I asked her how her chickens were doing and she said one of the hens lays eggs but is broody and wants to sit on the egg.
Now I asked her before if chickens get attached to the eggs they lay and she said no.
Next thing I know, my eyes fill up with tears.
I think the fact that the chicken’s eggs gets taken from her was upsetting.
Either that or its PMS!
I had to excuse myself to get my composure back.
And I’m not even vegetarian.
Someone won’t be buying eggs for a while.
