I just had a complete meltdown at work. It came from left field and there was no way I knew it was coming. I stumbled on this silly three minute video. Veterans coming home, and their loved ones being caught off guard. It was so cute and I started watching and a small tear sprang when a tiny girl in her kindergarten class turned to see her mom for the first time in who knows how long. Then it cut to a teen getting an award at a podium turns and her dad is there. Three minutes of this and I did not realize it was hitting me so hard, but as the video went on, tears started to flow, and by the time I turned it off, it was too late.

My office is one gigantic room and around the outside of the room are smaller offices with doors, all the doors open to the big room. Inside the big room are cubes. I have one of the offices with a door, not a cube. The whole office area is more quiet than a library even though it is packed full of workers. No one speaks out loud. We write code, we work on servers, and databases, so everyone is just typing away all day. And we need quiet because we have to get into a zone to give it our full concentration. I know that sounds so completely weird and horrid, but the no talking isn't a rule, it is how we prefer to work. I can go walk over to Judy's office and talk anytime I want.

So I found this video, and the tears start pouring. I am full blown crying and I am not making a sound. Now that I can look back on it, it is kinda funny, me crying in complete silence. If anyone would have walked into my office a few minutes ago, I would have been a mess.

I only posted it because of Vet's day, be careful what you watch! Or you will find yourself crying before you even realize what is happening.
