Co-worker, female (would hit if I was not married) just came into my office bawling her eyes out over some interoffice bs. High-level person, respected. Does not report to me. I was like "there there" but kept my ass planted in the seat, when clearly this broad needed a hug. I defused the convo quickly and professionally with "focus on the immediate xyz and we'll figure out the other stuff down the road blah blah."
I'm going downstairs to Tir Na Nog to drink about how I should have handled it.
A real man would have comforted her. A simple, not-balls-out hug would have sufficed and been perfectly acceptable.
Anything less than Ms. BLubbry eyes ending up with her wrists behind her back and her pony-tail in your ham-handed death-grip.... is disappoint.

Never let a crying woman go to waste.
" now is not the place to discuss problems with other employees, if you would like can meet for drinks later " pick hotel bar near by, that u just " happen" to get comped rooms for, even though u prepaid for room already.. Because your central air is not working well and ugh it's a heat wave..
Clearly this should have ended in...
"Dear Penthouse Forum..."
Was she even hot?
Pics?
You people are slacking.
I would've responded with a simple "Get the f*ck outta my office. I'm playing Galaga."
This is a thread I'd expect southside to create.... You disappoint us.
