Can I Cry Now?

For some reason (the moon? Mercury in retrograde? Spring Equinox?) I have felt VERY emotional all week.  Someone will say something, it doesn’t even have to be mean, and I feel like bursting into tears.  Tears of frustration, tears of happiness, tears of anger, regardless of the type, tears.

I have done a really good job of not crying all week, but after the last couple of days I think I might be due.

The CRO of the company asked for my resume.  Yes, my resume.  He also asked me for a “brief description” of what I have accomplished.  So I sent it to him.  I didn’t think much of it, I got the feeling he is trying to see how to utilize me in the current reporting process.  He doesn’t know much about me, other than I show up to all these meetings and make lots of copies.

He read it.  Not only did he read it, but he paid attention to it.  I sat down for a meeting and he looks at me and says, English Literature, eh?  Who’s your favorite author?  I was not prepared for that.  So we chatted about books for a bit, it was very interesting.  But I couldn’t shake a feeling I had.  Where was the piece of information on my resume? 

After the meeting I checked my resume.  Yep, education at the bottom.  Right below the fact that I am in Mensa.  Oh my.  The CRO knows I am in Mensa.  Can I freak out a little now?  Yes, yes I think I shall.  Just a bit. 

Okay.  No crying for the moment…maybe later…
