behind life's weariness

my dear readers ought to take heart that lately the postings have a sombre tone to them. yesterday, i saw yet another person at work who broke down in tears. i was in the rest room, and i saw this woman sobbing and her eyes were as red and swelling from a cry. she has just been joining the company a few weeks ago. i thought that she's perhaps crying because she has too much to bear with the family issue internally for she is a single mom. her daughter was sick a week ago. i assume this could be part of it, but she said that it was because she has a lot to do work-wise considering her recently joining. plus, she is unsure if she has been doing things right as the manager that she reports to is taking a rather long leave.

(sigh!)
