I love the people I work with. I have some awesome co-workers. I'm the "clown", they've labeled me as such at work because I take the songs that play on those TVs by the cash registers and make up new dances. I don't care if everyone is watching. When I need to have a goofy moment, by gawd, I'll have that goofy moment.
Well, I was trying to talk to a co-worker and she was being a big beeyatch. So, I made a comment that said "What's wrong? Does someone need a Midol?"
She turns and tells me that her husband and she split up that day. I mumbled something along the lines of "I'm so sorry" and walked away. She was all tearing up...I just don't have the ability to deal with crying people...I don't know why?
So, I bought her some candy to say "Sorry I was a moron...I didn't know" and wound up making her cry even more. Apparently she was on a huge diet she thought would make her hubby stay...
How many awful things can someone do in a day. I haven't seen her since this incident...should I just act like nothing has happened and go on being my normal goofy self? I'm thinking that's the best thing, but apparently I have a "mani-tude" and can't understand female emotions...unless their my own emotions.
For example, I would have called into work instead of going in and risking breaking down in public.
