There's no crying in baseball

Unless you're a Yankees fan. But there's also no crying in the office either. A recent article in the Sun Sentinel looks at the negative stereotypes that can result from leaky tearducts in the workplace.

You are in an important staff meeting when suddenly your boss begins to criticize your work, in front of your co-workers, your subordinates, other superiors, everybody. You want to defend yourself, but, to your horror, you feel your eyes filling with tears.

Oh baby, I've been there... (My trick - impromptu allergy attack including sneezing and a bit of hacking. Works like a charm.)
