How to have a good cry

Work was hard yesterday. We got different bits of news about our takeover, mostly that it will happen sooner than anyone thought. Add to that a management team who has no clue what they have to do to follow German law, and things are a mess. Part of my job is to make sure these clueless people fix what they've done, so it was stress piled on top of stress yesterday.
That manifested itself in frustration. First I couldn't get a software installed, then a hard drive didn't work, then I couldn't get into an encrypted drive, it was one thing after another. So frustrating I wanted to cry.
So last night I did. Had a good cry, although it was artificially induced. How do you artificially induce a good cry? For me, it's watching video clips of my favorite tearjerker movies.
Here's what I watched, all on Youtube.
Then, to feel better, I watched the trailer for the German film Mord ist mein Geschaeft, Liebling.
And went to bed listening to Glee songs, feeling Lucky

Karen,I forgot all about those good movies!
I agree with you...somedays nothing beats a good cry!
I'm going to grab some Tempos & watch those clips.

Karen -- sorry to hear out your work woes. There must be something in the air (work-wise that is) as I too had a rough work day. I totally agree with your movie selections, and knew what you were talking about without even watching them. I did have to go look up Bobby Goldsboro though. What a flashback -- sniff, sniff. I too am a Glee fan and listen to their CDs at work when I have a bad day. Luv ya!!
